Welcome to Te Horo Olives

Established in 2000 by Mary Harris and Elaine Stevens, Te Horo Olives is situated on the stony, silt loams of the Otaki River flats where the climate is conducive to the production of high quality extra virgin olive oil with exceptional flavours.

The first trees planted were the cultivars Barnea , Manzanillo, Picholene and Picual. Planting continued over the next two years with the addition of Frantoio and Koroneiki, reaching a total of 1200 trees.

The olives are processed on site, using a Pegaso 500 continuous process centrifugal press imported from Officine Meccaniche Toscane, Italy.
