Olive Harvesting

Our 100% owner-associated company, Olive Contractors Ltd,
owns and operates New Zealand’s most advanced olive harvester.

The robust and reliable CAT 289D with SICMA olive harvester attachment
shakes down groves and collects olive fruit with speed and efficiency.

Having our own harvesting equipment means our contracted olive growers can maximise their harvest with fruit expeditiously presented to our contract olive processors in the best possible condition.

Olive fruit is then pressed into olive oil with strict parameters to ensure we produce (arguably) the most delicious and nutritionally dense olive oil in the world.

Our dedicated olive growers currently supply us from these regions in New Zealand:

Marlborough

Wairarapa / Kāpiti

Hawke’s Bay
