COBRAM ESTATE – ALWAYS CHOOSE EXTRA VIRGIN
Written by Cobram Estate
Cobram Estate extra virgin olive oil is not just a cooking ingredient; it’s a go-to for food lovers and those mindful of their health. Extra virgin olive oil is the juice of fresh olives, that carries all those polyphenols or antioxidants to drive the health benefits.
Growing olives and producing good olive oil is quite simple if you start with fresh, healthy fruit, and you crush it quickly. At Cobram we crush the olives within 4-6 hours of picking. You’re locking in all the goodness and freshness. Extra virgin is the only olive oil that is natural.
The advice is always choose local. And especially if the producer, the oil maker, is also the farmer. Trust your senses, trust your smell, your mouth feel, because it’s just the fresh juice of fruit. It’s also important to look for a harvest date, because fresher is better, and to look for a best before date. We work ours out scientifically, every single batch to determine its shelf life.
Taste those distinct flavor profiles, with hints of fresh herbs, green apple, and a peppery finish adds depth and complexity to every dish.
We strongly believe in transparency for the way we farm, producing a sustainable crop for planetary health and authentic, high-quality oil for nutritious and delicious diets!
