Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Experience the Benefits of Premium Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
At Rich Glen, we believe exceptional extra virgin olive oil starts long before it reaches your kitchen. From the moment our olives are harvested to the time they are cold pressed on our family farm, every step is focused on preserving the natural flavour, nutrients, and health benefits that make premium extra virgin olive oil one of nature's finest foods.
Our Australian-grown olives are harvested at their peak and pressed within hours in our state-of-the-art processing facility, producing a fresh, first cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil that is naturally rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and healthy monounsaturated fats. The result is an award-winning olive oil with outstanding flavour and exceptional nutritional value.
Whether you're cooking, drizzling over salads, dipping fresh bread or incorporating it into your daily wellness routine, Rich Glen Extra Virgin Olive Oil delivers quality you can taste and benefits you can feel.
What Makes Rich Glen Extra Virgin Olive Oil Different?
Not all olive oils are created equal.
Many supermarket oils are blended, refined, imported or stored for extended periods before reaching consumers. Rich Glen takes a completely different approach.
Because our olives are grown, harvested and cold pressed right here on our family farm, we maintain complete control over quality from tree to bottle. Our olives are processed within hours of picking, helping preserve the delicate antioxidants, vibrant flavour profile and naturally occurring beneficial compounds that begin to diminish over time.
This commitment to freshness is one of the key reasons our extra virgin olive oil consistently delivers exceptional taste and nutritional quality.
Naturally High in Polyphenols
One of the standout characteristics of premium extra virgin olive oil is its naturally occurring polyphenols.
Polyphenols are powerful plant compounds that act as antioxidants, helping protect the body's cells against oxidative stress and inflammation. They are also responsible for many of the health benefits associated with quality extra virgin olive oil.
The concentration of polyphenols depends on many factors including olive variety, growing conditions, harvest timing and processing methods. By harvesting at the ideal time and pressing our olives immediately on-site, Rich Glen helps preserve these valuable compounds naturally.
Higher polyphenol olive oils are often recognised by their fresh grassy aroma along with a peppery finish and slight bitterness. These characteristics are signs of freshness and quality, not imperfections.
Health Benefits of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
