About

Small Batch Olive Oil specialises in high antioxidant olive oils from small producers. The aim is to provide an olive oil that is high in health benefits, to give your body a small help each day in its natural process of healing or just staying healthy. While other people focus on the taste - our focus is on sourcing the best oilve oil for your health - which means organic, no pesticides or herbicides, and the highest levels of antioxidants or active polyphenols we can find.

But going back to taste - Olive oil should taste like it came from olives - and have herbacious characters and some good pepperiness so that its a sensory experience when you use it, - and it's a moment in the day when you reflect on nature and that it came from an olive tree. Ideally its the opposite of the tasteless oils with no sensory experience from industrial scale farms (which also use pesticides) that is generally available in supermarkets.

The olive oil is sourced from smaller organic producers in WA depending on who / where has the highest polyphenol level oil in a particular season or year. The olive oil typically has a phlyphenol level of 400+ mg/kg.

 

About Me

My journey with olive oil began over ten years ago. After reading about the health benefits of high-polyphenol olive oil, I set out to find the best oils available here in Western Australia. That search led me to small growers—usually family-run groves with a focus on organic practices.  It was here that I discovered the oils I loved: bold, vibrant, and with that unmistakable peppery bite that only high-polyphenol oils deliver.

My interest became something deeper a few years later, when my daughter began experiencing severe gut issues and what was eventually described as chronic fatigue. Those were difficult times. I still remember the day she tried to walk just 50 metres at our local park and had to turn back—she simply couldn’t make it. We tried countless approaches. Some helped a little, some not at all. It was hard to stay positive, but we chose to believe that each small improvement, even if temporary, was helping her body slowly find its balance again.

Thankfully, in time, she recovered.

That experience reshaped everything for me. It made me want to make high-polyphenol olive oil more accessible—to anyone who might benefit from it. I wanted the process to be simple, reliable, and stress-free: high-quality oil delivered directly to your door without hassle.

Its also from a health perspective that I want there to be a conection to nature. Hopefully when you smell and taste the oil you have a sensory experience, and feel that link back to nature and the olive tree it came from. The oil is also fresh which helps!

Along the way, I became involved in olive oil judging here in WA. Tasting dozens of oils in a single session isn’t easy, but it’s been invaluable. It’s sharpened my understanding of what  exceptional oil tastes like, and it’s helped me refine exactly what I want to offer.

So that’s my story.
