Incredibly versatile, our Arbequina olive oil is the perfect option for dishes that call for balance. Think subtle salad dressings, mayonnaise/aioli, sweet and savoury baking applications, paella, confiting or just about anything you throw at it.

Chemistry / Nutrition: 

* Total Biophenols; 190 parts per million. Biophenols are the antioxidants that give extra virgin olive oil its great flavour (pepperiness & bitterness) and incredible health properties. Typical oils range between 120 ppm and 350 pmm.

* Free Fatty Acid (FFA); 0.1%. To be considered extra virgin olive oil the oil must have a free acidity, expressed as free oleic acid, of no more than 0.8 grams per 100 grams and no sensory defects. In a sense, the FFA level indicates the fruit’s condition at the time the oil was extracted. It's essentially a freshness quotient.

Our Premium Promise:

All Mount Zero Olive Oil is cold-pressed (room temperature) just hours after harvest to maintain premium quality. Similarly, our 100% Australian olive oils come from the first pressing of the olives which is what the term 'extra virgin' refers to.
