Each of the oils has been chosen for its unique characteristics from mild to robust.
You will learn to smell and taste like a judge while surround by our olive orchard that comes alive in December and January with flowering trees filled with the hum of busy giant bumblebees and honeybees! A sound not to missed.

A magic day in the Huon Valley on the Campo de Flori Farm.
The lovely day we spent with you was full of surprises, a beautiful afternoon tea, a knowledge of olives and their oil which we just loved. Our day was wonderful and I just couldn’t believe that it just got so much better with the receipt of the your olive oil. I laughed to myself as I thought I cant open a bottle of your oil I just want to look at it and treasure it. We wish you all the very best with your efforts and your farm, and we trust other lucky people will also visit lots of times.
