The award-winning Lot Eight ‘Reserve’ is a release that aims to show a blend of two cultivars, Koroneiki and Frantoio, personal favourites of the oil maker, Nalini Baruch. Each year we bring together the right selection of the two varieties of olives to ensure that the resulting oil exhibits refined notes of herbs and tropical fruits.

This robust blend started with several awards including Best in Class in New Zealand to Gold Medal at the prestigious New York judging and remains true to its origin. It is perfect as a dipping oil and it also provides a perfect aroma filled finishing touch to a warm dish.

When only the best will do, this Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the one to use.
