Felice Trovatello immigrated to Australia in 1954 at the age of 18 with all his worldly possessions contained in one suitcase. With little knowledge of the English language or the Australian environment he set off with a dream for a better lifestyle.
Upon a visit to Central Victoria, Felice realised the climate was reminiscent of the Southern Italian region of Calabria where he originated. This inspired him to establish an Olive Grove and processing facility which now produces one of the finest Extra Virgin Olive Oils in the Southern Hemisphere.
Our Family Selection Extra Virgin Olive Oil, is processed from exclusively selected olives to deliver a superior quality product for the use in specialty dishes. This process is an effort we undertake as a family. We discuss which oils should be blended with which, and if necessary re-blend. The oil is sampled and re-sampled until it is considered to be the best in texture, quality and ultimately taste. Family Selection Extra Virgin Olive Oil has ensured us many awards and praise.
