About Olives New Zealand
Welcome to the Olives New Zealand Website.

The New Zealand Olive Industry has reached a very interesting and exciting stage in its evolution. Although our oldest commercial plantings are only in their second decade the industry has already gained a reputation for producing some of the world’s finest quality Extra Virgin Olive Oils (EVOO) with unique  aromas and flavour.

Production volumes are now rapidly increasing and with Olives New Zealand emphasis on quality assurance, olive growers, processors and marketers are seeking to maintain that enviable reputation.

This website is the electronic face of Olives New Zealand and the NZ olive Industry. It is also the primary point of communication between the Industry and the olive world, the executive and the membership, and between branches and members of Olives New Zealand.

Enjoy the news, savour the information, and be well informed about the development of the industry.
