Olivetta

Your olive oil has been fighting the same enemy for 5,000 years: light and heat.

Long before “best by” dates, the Minoans on Crete were already sealing their olive oil in dark, thick clay jars - no glass, no light, nothing see-through. Later, the Egyptians buried their jars in cool sand. In Puglia, the capasoni kept oil the same way well into the 1900s.

Turns out they were onto something science has since confirmed: light and heat break oil down, wearing away the flavour and antioxidants that make good olive oil good. Left exposed, your olive oil just goes flat and stale.

It’s why every Olivetta container, painted glass, tin, or bag-in-box, is opaque by design. Not for looks, but because it’s what has always worked.

Swipe through for the story 👉 then head to the link in our bio to read the whole article at The Olive Press on our website. While you are there, you can browse the cruets and fustis that will help keep your oil the way it deserves to be kept.

We knew our Tapenade was special. We just didn’t expect quite so many people to agree.

At the recent Sydney Good Food & Wine Show, we were genuinely blown away by the number of visitors who came back for another taste, and another jar.

Our Tapenade is beautifully simple. Made from just Kalamata olives and salt, it’s naturally gluten free, vegan friendly, and contains no
preservatives. Rich, savoury and deeply satisfying, it’s proof that exceptional ingredients don’t need much else.

Traditionally, it’s a Greek olive paste. Blend it with garlic, anchovies and fresh herbs, and it transforms into a classic French-style tapenade.

Here are a few of our favourite ways to use it at home:

• Spread over sourdough with goat’s cheese and roasted red peppers.
• Stir through hot spaghetti with Parmesan and cracked black pepper.
• Fold through butter and melt over grilled fish, chicken, lamb or steak.
• Layer onto toast with avocado, crumbled feta and a drizzle of our Terra Australis Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
• Finish soft, creamy scrambled eggs with a spoonful for an instant burst of savoury flavour.

Taste it once. Come back for more.

Hang On, Little Tomato

Inspired by the Pink Martini classic, this comforting tomato soup is made for slow winter afternoons, thick socks, and long lunches by the fire.

Made with Olivetta Terra Australis Extra Virgin Olive Oil and finished with a splash of Olivetta Black Balsamic Vinegar, this simple soup proves that a handful of quality ingredients can create something truly memorable.

To make:
• Gently cook onion, garlic, ground coriander and a pinch of chilli flakes (optional) in Terra Australis EVOO until soft and fragrant.
• Stir through tomato paste, then add Mutti peeled tomatoes, soft brown sugar and Olivetta Black Balsamic Vinegar. Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add water, season well, and simmer gently for at least 30 minutes until rich and velvety.
• Blend until silky smooth and return to the pot to warm through.
• Finish with fresh basil, cracked black pepper and, if you’re lucky enough to have some, a generous drizzle of Olivetta Basil Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Serve with thick slices of grilled rustic bread, lightly rubbed with garlic and generously dressed with Olivetta Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
