This limited-release olive oil is the result of an exciting collaboration with Mountain Yuzu, specialty citrus growers based in North-East Victoria. Whole yuzu fruit and olives are cold-pressed together resulting in an incredibly aromatic and unique flavoured oil.

Particularly delicious paired with raw fish or ceviche, use to dress Japanese-style salads or as a fabulous twist to a traditional olive oil cake recipe! Agrumato is the traditional Italian method of pressing citrus fruits with olives to create a delectable zesty olive oil.

At Mount Zero, once a year they press a range of different fruits with Frantoio olives. The result is amazing - this range is a hit with chefs, home cooks and award judges across the country. Find out more about this amazing product here

Premium Promise: All Mount Zero Olive Oil is cold-pressed (room temperature) just hours after harvest to maintain premium quality.

Chemistry / Nutrition: * Total Biophenols; 265 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); 0.11%. 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. 

The Mount Zero story began in 1946, when farmer and entrepreneur, Jacob Friedman, recognised the Wimmera/Grampians region as prime olive-growing country and began planting some of the first commercial olive groves in Australia. Today Mount Zero draws on produce from the Wimmera and Grampians region, as well as select olive groves across Victoria. Commitment to flavour, sustainable farming and a passion for quality ingredients defines Mount Zero.

With over 80 years of history, family-owned Mount Zero practices bio-dynamic farming techniques and are international Demeter Bio-Dynamic certified.
