The Annual Hunter Olive Show Awards
The Hunter Olive Association holds the annual Hunter Olive Show, open to both members and non-members where olives, olive oils, olive based soap and other related products can be tested and awarded. Our first entry was in 2015, a blend of Correggiola/Frantoio and was awarded a Bronze Certificate.
We eventually earned a Gold Certificate in 2021 with an exceptional Correggiola (no blending is the key).

Some artichoke, hay, grassy and leafy vegetables on nose. Dry finish on palate. A mild oil overall. Some balance.
