Hickorys Run Olive Oil Products

'If our oils were alcohol based you would happily anticipate the glow of mild intoxication'

Our fruit is harvested semi-ripe to maximise their flavour. Pressed within 24 hours of harvest it is impossible to resist the fresh, fruity, pungent armours from our flagship Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Like wine no two extra virgin olive oils are alike. Each oil is the product of soil, climate, variety, and processing methods . The extra virgin olive oils produced at Hickory ’s Run as well as from our selected contract growers are chosen with flavour and distinct olive characteristics as the main criteria.

Oils that do not meet or exceed this demanding criteria are rejected.

Picking: Our fruit is hand picked and transported from the grove to the sorting area within two hours of picking. No fallen fruit is picked from the ground as fallen fruit starts to oxidise almost immediately. The fruit is then sorted and damaged fruit is discarded. The fruit is then stored in vented shallow crates in a controlled environment. It is transported to the pressing facility within 24 hours of picking for further processing.

Pressing: The fruit is transported to the NASAA Certified Organic pressing
facility. Prior to pressing, any leaves and twigs are removed, the olives are washed and
cold pressed. The oil is separated from the resulting olive paste without the use of
heat, hot water or solvents and is left unfiltered. Filtering of extra virgin olive oil
removes many of the nutrients.

Oil Storage: Once the fruit has been pressed it is stored in containers in a climate controlled environment, the oil is then left to settle for 4 – 6 weeks.

Bottling and Labelling: The unfiltered extra virgin olive oil is hand bottled and labelled on demand.

Packaging: Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is packaged in 500 ml stoneware jars (ideal for gift giving), 500 ml PET bottles, as well as 1 ltr refill tins for added convenience. Our Infused Olive Oils are packaged in attractive 250ml tabletop glass bottles also with the added convenience of 1 ltr refill tins.

Our outer packaging is supplied by Amcor. Amcor is a member of the ‘Energy Smart Program’. Amcor is one of only three packaging companies in the world that is listed on the Dow Jones Sustainabilty Index. Hickory ’s Run only uses Envirofill® for packaging. Envirofill® is a completely biodegradable interior cushioning material and is made from annually renewable rosources. Envirofill® decomposes when it comes into direct contact with water and does not leave any harmful residue.

Confidence in our product is backed by our money back guarantee.
