Our range of Australian grown extra virgin olive oil is blended for balance, flavour and freshness.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is essentially a fruit juice. It is pressed and extracted to maintain the very best characteristics, and to ensure that the most incredible flavour and health benefits are preserved. Extra Virgin Olive Oil has three key characteristics: fruitiness, bitterness and pungency. At Mount Zero we believe the key is to have balance across these three characteristics, and we hope the consumer agrees.
Mount Zero Extra Virgin Olive Oils (EVOO) can be found in commercial kitchens of some of the most acclaimed restaurants across Australia. The list is as long as it is accomplished - MoVida, il Solito Posto, Hotel Lincoln, Stokehouse, Grossi Florentino, Attica, Domaine Chandon, Innocent Bystander and Brae all use our EVOO blends.
Much has been made of a less than reputable olive oil industry in Europe, luckily Australian olive oil producers are bound to strict guidelines on what makes an olive oil 'extra virgin olive oil'.
