Paul Holmes Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Produced by NZ Premium Foods Ltd

I am very proud to introduce my range of Paul Holmes Extra Virgin Olive Oils. They are high quality, up with the best of the best and the freshest. Paul Holmes Extra Virgin Olive Oils have won gold and silver medals in New Zealand competitions.

The two varieties I produce are very different. Leccino is rich and golden, with a rounded taste. Frantoio is green, crisp and peppery. They are both perfect on vegetables or for dipping bread and Paul Holmes Extra Virgin Olive Oil on salad is one of the most underrated pleasures on the planet. In fact the only salad dressing you need is Paul Holmes Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Hawke's Bay.

Like wine, the best Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from the best trees and at Mana Lodge Nigel Mackintosh invests time and effort to cultivate healthy trees that produce well-balanced Extra Virgin Olive Oils.

To bring the best to your table the olives are picked in the autumn and are pressed within hours. Olives begin degrading quickly, so speedy processing is essential for the preparation of the best possible Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Renowned for its health benefits, a good quality Extra Virigin Olive Oil is a must have in every pantry. I hope you will enjoy mine.
