Maluka Estate is one of the most awarded Extra Virgin Olive Oils in Australia.
Our EVOO is loaded with higher than normal antioxidant polyphenols. It is one of the healthiest foods you can eat and is the healthiest of all oils. No wonder it forms the basis of the Mediterranean diet.
Consume our EVOO liberally, and regularly – with bread, on salads, on vegetables, pour it over everything. Great for deep frying and baking.
Forget the old “wives tale” that you can’t cook with EVOO. Smoke point is irrelevant and Australian peer-reviewed research shows that EVOO is THE healthiest oil for all forms of cooking, Why? EVOO is packed full of anti-oxidants that protect the oil from degradation.
EVOO should be the only oil in your kitchen.

Our EVOO is available under our two labels
Otway Olives EVOO is harvested by individual variety and pressed on site in small batches, stored under argon gas in stainless steel tanks, and hand bottled to ensure the freshest, tastiest, olive oil possible. Our range includes single varietal Picual (Spanish) and Frantoio (Italian) and our custom curated Estate Blend.
Great Ocean Road “Awesome EVOO” branded oil is also harvested by variety and pressed on site. It is blended to create a lively EVOO blend designed for The Great Ocean Road lifestyle. It is partnered by our deliciously rich and sweet Great Ocean Road “Wicked Balsamic”.
Our table olives are naturally fermented and finished in a our own “Greek” style – with a hint of chilli, garlic, lemon, and herbs.
Awards and Trophies for Otway Olives EVOO
