Olives and Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Olives in BowlGlendalough Estate Olives are grown and sourced from our own Estate and from other local Clare Valley growers.

We produce both Table Olives, as well as the finest of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Table Olives

All table olives are hand picked, washed, and placed in brine for three months to remove the bitterness.

Olives on the TreeHerbs are then added and the olives are stored for a further three months before packing.

Kalamata olives are pickled in brine, vinegar and olive oil and are just a pleasure to eat.

Verdale and Mission olives are matured in various herbs and when ready for eating are mixed together to give a combination of flavours such as chilli, oregano, rosemary, lemon pepper and garlic.

You may purchase Kalamata or Verdale table olives in 300g, 1.2Kg and 2.3Kg packages from our Cellar Door and Store.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

VA Clare Valley Olive Oil and Recipe BookGlendalough Estate Olive Oil is produced from Tuscan variety cultivars:

  • The Blend – This oil is derived from Tuscan and Verdale cultivars and blended to capture the individual qualities of each olive. When the right balance has been achieved it is stored in stainless steel vats ready for bottling. The Blend is a must for every kitchen. You can use it for cooking, in cakes, tossed in a salad, drizzled over crusty bread – or for frying fish. It is lighter than most olive oils and has its own distinctive style – delicious!

Glendalough Estate olives are processed within hours of being picked. The oil is then stored in stainless steel vats, sealed and kept at a constant room temperature of 20-22 degrees Celsius. This allows us to maintain a consistent high standard.

Bottling and packaging takes place in our fully air-conditioned shed which also houses the cellar door. This keeps the handling of the oils to a minimum, which also ensures that quality is maintained.

Glendalough Estate Olive Oil is:

  • Extra Virgin
  • Extracted between 25C-28C by centrifuge olive oil press
  • Unfiltered
  • Tested for required acid level
  • Sensory evaluated prior to bottling
