Hunter Olives was established in late 2005 by a group of Hunter Valley olive growers who recognized a significant, emerging need for local processing and distribution services.

Our premises are based on site at the award winning Adina Vineyard and Olive Grove in Lovedale Road. We are located next to Adina's olive mill from which we contract oil processing services.

Our processing facilities are modern and comply with relevant food processing regulations. We are  HACCP certified and our growers are Freshcare certified or have similar controls in place.  As a business we have an ongoing commitment to quality control and innovation.

Our aim is to provide premium products at competitive prices. Our products are sought after by chefs and caterers as well as being available in fine food stores.

Our fruit comes mainly from the small to medium size groves – anything from a few hundred trees up to several thousand. Being small has its advantages. As growers we are closely involved in what happens in our groves and, invariably, we care deeply about what we do. Collectively, our present suppliers (including shareholders) have more than 40,000 trees in production now or coming so in the next few years. This ensures that we have the ability to supply substantial quantities of oil and table fruit well into the future without prejudicing quality.
