Quality & Materials

Estate-grown Mission, Manzanillo, and Ascolano olives. High antioxidant retention due to rapid processing.

Evidence & Testing

Consistently wins Gold at the NYIOOC (New York International Olive Oil Competition). They utilize state-of-the-art laboratory testing for sensory and chemical analysis.

Brand Transparency

Highly transparent regarding their milling process and oxygen-free storage tanks. Clear labeling of harvest year.

Value Assessment

Slightly more expensive than standard supermarket oils but significantly cheaper than 'health-guru' marketed oils with similar polyphenol counts.

Why Not Alternatives?

Most brands buy bulk oil from various mills; Cobram owns the groves and the mills, eliminating the risk of adulteration or heat damage during transport of the raw fruit.
