--Zeus' Nectar Olive Oil

 

Zeus, the Greek father of the gods, exercised close control over earthly things. He was worshipped as the god of farmers. It was his rain that made the fields fertile. Our latest success has been the bottling of our beautiful estate grown and hand-picked olive oil under our Zeus’ Nectar label. Aromatic and full-bodied- a delight not to be missed. Used in some of the best restaurants in Adelaide.

100% Pure Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Australia produces olive oil that is equal to the best in the world. And the Barossa Valley, known for it’s exceptional grapes, produces some of the purest and best olive oil in Australia. Zeus’ Nectar is a 2008 Barossa Valley Extra Virgin Olive Oil, harvested from our estate grown Meditteranean and Koroneiki olive trees. It is a well balanced, beautifully aromatic and full bodied. It’s perfect for salads, dipping with crusty breads or cooking.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil means that the oil contains less than 1% of oleic acid as a free fatty acid. Olives contain monounsaturated fat, which decreases 'bad' cholesterol and increases the 'good' type. Olives contain vitamin E - a potent antioxidant which can protect our cells, and helps maintain our nervous system. It is also a natural storehouse for vitamins A, D and K. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is contains over 30 antioxidants that help to prevent damage to our arteries and protect our skin and other body cells.

 Extra virgin olive oil is a true fruit juice - squeezed from the olive without the addition of other substances. Many olive oils, even those claiming "Extra Virgin", can be tasteless and bland. A good extra virgin oil will have fruitiness, sometimes smelling of olive, new mown hay or even bananas. Particularly valued are the pepperiness and pungency attributes which a fine oil will exhibit. And Zeus’ Nectar is a fine example of that.
