Puketi Olive Farm

Puketi Olive Farm is Peter Crelinsten's small organically farmed grove on Pungaere Road outside Kerikeri in Northland. The owners first grew olives on the Maltese island of Gozo in the 1990s, then returned to New Zealand in 2011 and planted about 180 trees. The fruit is pressed on the farm in a traditional hydraulic press within about five hours of picking, and the oil is left unfiltered. They aim for a high-phenolic early-harvest extra virgin olive oil. You order the 2026 harvest from the products page on their website by email or text, pay by bank transfer, and it ships by courier.
