In the Press House 2006
On 18th May 2001, Moutere Grove 2000 extra virgin olive oil received an international award and 'Highest Score in All Classes' at the Olive Business 2001 Awards , held in Melbourne.
In winter 2002, we built a 2 million gallon reservoir, so that we can irrigate our olive trees in any future dry summer. This will ensure that our trees remain healthy in a drought and ensure the quality of the fruit remains high. The dam also creates both visual and recreational enhancement to the estate.
In April 2001, a new building was completed which is our cool store and, since 2002, our press house. This enables us to optimize the conditions for storage of the oil, and extend its freshness for even longer. Our new olive press arrived from Italy at the end of April 2002, and enables us to press 4-500kg per hour. The press will be dedicated to organic olives and we now process our olives within a matter of hours of picking, to achieve the highest possible quality.
