An olive grove in the South West
Sixty olive trees and twenty fruit trees, tended by hand in the South West of Western Australia. Our first full harvest is expected in 2029.
The grove
Piccolo Paradiso is a small grove in the South West. The trees are still young, so for now the work is quiet and constant: pruning, feeding, and keeping an eye on the weather, season by season and tree by tree.
No shortcuts. The oil will be ready when the trees are.
The trees
Most of the grove is olive: sixty Frantoio and Correggiolo trees, the Tuscan pair behind a green, peppery oil. Alongside them grow twenty citrus trees: chinotto, blood orange and a Sicilian lemon.
Olive
The classic Tuscan oil olive, prized for a green, peppery oil.
Olive
A Frantoio type long grown in Australian groves. It shares the grove with its Tuscan cousin.
Citrus
Chinotto, the bitter orange behind Italy’s favourite soft drink, grows alongside blood oranges and a Sicilian lemon.
Nature
The trees are only part of it. We record the birdsong around the grove and keep a list of every species we hear on site.
