Mornington Peninsula Extra Virgin Olive Oil

A picturesque coastal region south of Melbourne known for both wine and olive oil production. Surrounded by Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait, the peninsula benefits from a unique maritime climate that moderates temperatures and provides consistent rainfall, creating perfect mediterranean conditions for olive cultivation. It features red volcanic soils, limestone deposits and can produce distinctive EVOOs with complex flavor profiles. Many of the peninsula's olive groves are family owned boutique operations and the NYIOOC-award winning Cape Schanck Estate.
