About EVOO.com.au

EVOO.com.au is an Australia-first reference for extra virgin olive oil: how to choose a good bottle, the olive varieties and regions behind it, the health evidence, cooking, the grades, and the local industry that makes the oil.

The angle is deliberately local. Australian oil is pressed in autumn, opposite the northern hemisphere, so a bottle of local oil usually reaches the shelf far fresher than an import. Australia also holds extra virgin oil to one of the strictest standards in the world. Those two facts sit behind almost everything on this site.

Where we quote standards, health advice or industry data, we lean on Australian sources: the Australian Olive Association, Hort Innovation, the Australian standard for olive oils (AS 5264), and CSIRO and Australian dietary guidance. The aim is a practical guide that reads the way olive oil is actually bought, cooked with and made here.
