Kāpiti Olive Oil’s Picual was described by the judges as having ‘a complex nose with a green vibrant palate, combined with lingering heat and bitterness, balanced by a cleansing astringency’
Kāpiti Olive Oil’s three other extra virgin olive oils; Frantoio, Koroneiki, and Leccino are fresh and exciting, gaining Silver awards this year.
‘Taste the Difference’
This highlights an 22 year unbroken track record of world class olive oil production. The highlights include three “Best in Show” Awards, three “Supreme Champion” Awards, Reserve Champion Spanish Varietal and nine “Best in Class” Awards.
Winning awards demonstrates that our olive oil is consistently world class and it gives reassurance to our customers that they are buying a truly premium product.
We are Diana and Grant Crosse and are the owners of Kāpiti Olive Oil.
For the last 36 years we have been sheep and beef farming at Weber, east of Dannevirke. Looking for a change, we bought Kāpiti Olives.
The olive grove keeps us connected to the land which is important to us.
So, we swapped the East Coast for the West Coast and hill country for flat land. Our Labrador now has 8ha to play in rather than the 1000ha we had.
We look forward to meeting all Kāpiti Olive Oil’s customers and meeting some new ones.
Exciting times ahead.
