Olive Press: Getting the good oil in Central Otago

This season’s long summer has resulted in a bumper harvest for olive growers in Central Otago. Lowburn’s Stephen Morris, his wife Olivia and his in-laws Alistair and Sue Stark own Olive Press Central Otago (Opco) on the family’s vineyard, St Bathans Range, near Cromwell. Mr Morris has been busy during the past three weeks cold-processing olives to produce extra virgin olive oil.
