Cockatoo Grove

Historic Cockatoo Grove is nestled on a tranquil bend of the Upper Murray River, an Australian region synonymous with fine food and wine production. Surrounded by an ancient forest of red gums, ordered rows of olive trees thrive in deep, red soil. Cool, sunny winters and long, hot summers under the Australian sun allow the olives to ripen perfectly, creating rich, luscious Extra Virgin Olive Oils. Cockatoo Grove is dedicated to producing the finest premium Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oils. With a passion for quality, Cockatoo Grove’s mission it to be one of Australia’s most prestigious producers of premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Cockatoo Grove was established in 1996 with 25,000 trees of Italian, Spanish and Israeli origin including Frantoio, Correggiola, Nevadillo Blanco, Leccino, Manzanillo, Koroneiki and Arbequina. These varieties were specifically chosen for their fine oil quality and consistency in producing quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

At Cockatoo Grove we use state of the art processing facilities. Olives on our estate are pressed within hours of harvesting to ensure freshness and minimum possible free fatty acid levels. The oil is then stored in oxygen free stainless steel tanks prior to bottling, eliminating the potential for contamination.

Leaving nothing to chance, the grove is irrigated using a computer controlled, underground drip irrigation system. This ensures optimum soil moisture levels are maintained through the growing and ripening season, whilst minimising water consumption.

At Cockatoo Grove we also offer the guarantee that all of our olives are picked and pressed in under 4 hours. Within 4 hours of the olive being removed from the tree the oil is in tanks waiting to be bottled. Allowing us to give you the freshest, finest quality extra virgin olive oil on the market.
