Established in 1997, Mount Zero Olives has become one of Australia's most respected producers of olives, olive oil, grains and salts. Based near the Grampians (Gariwerd) in western Victoria, the company works closely with a network of local growers, championing regenerative agriculture, regional biodiversity and seasonal production over industrial scale.

Rather than producing a uniform olive oil year after year, Mount Zero treats each harvest as a reflection of seasonal conditions. Their Early Harvest Picual is released only once each year, with olives picked while still green and pressed within hours to preserve the vibrant aromas, natural antioxidants and freshness that define the style. The result is an oil that has become one of Australia's most anticipated seasonal olive oil releases among chefs and home cooks alike.
