Distinctive and flavoursome Australian extra virgin olive oils and table olives of the highest quality

Oil maker David Cockerill has been producing extra virgin olive oil and table olives on the banks of the Cudgegong River since the early 1990s.

Set high amidst the picturesque hills near Mudgee, NSW, 500m above sea-level, the 8 hectare olive grove thrives in conditions akin to the slopes of Tuscany, characterised by Mediterranean summers and cold winters.

The groves of Cudgegong Valley Olives feature Tuscan olive varieties of Corregiolo, Leccino, Pendolino and Frantoio, which produce consistent oil-producing fruit and capitalise on the valley's unique growing conditions.

David has also selected two olive varieties for their eating quality and special oil characteristics . The Irymple Mission variety was sourced from original Riverina rootstock, while the French Verdale variety comes from South Australia.
