Talinga Grove is a multi-award winning Grove

We are excited to share that we have won a Silver Medal at the 2021 Royal Adelaide Show for our Leccino Frantoio blend which is available for purchase now! 

One of the ways in which Olive producers in Australia can gain insight into quality, is through entering awards. The most prestigious being the Industry led awards (from the Australian Olive Association) and in our region the prestigious Fleurieu Food Awards. 

 

 

    Most EVOO judging is done using cobalt tasting glass to ensure that colour is not a factor in the judging of oils - as it is not a relevant criteria. 

    Both Bob and Emily are Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Olive judges, having judged many times at the SA Olive and Olive Oil Shows. 

    Our award history is long.

    We work hard to ensure our extra virgin olive oil is of the most premium quality. We are proud of the awards we have won over nearly 2 decades.
