A Taste of the Grampians: Red Rock Olives’ Mediterranean Flavours in the Nook’s Hamper

The Grampians region is known for its fresh produce and culinary delights. But did you know it’s also home to a thriving olive industry? Red Rock Olives brings a touch of the Mediterranean to the Nook On The Hill, with their premium olives and olive-inspired products enhancing your gourmet hamper experience.

The Red Rock Olives Story

Nestled in the heart of the Grampians, Red Rock Olives carries a legacy of passion and dedication. For a decade, previous owners David and Rita poured their hearts into their olive groves, crafting exceptional olive products. While they’ve recently hung up their boots and closed the Pomonal farmgate, their commitment to quality lives on and Red Olives continues to thrive.

The Nook’s Selection

We’ve carefully chosen their ‘Mixed Olives in Brine’ to enhance your complimentary Nook On The Hill hamper. This delightful mix features a seasonal selection of olives grown right here in the Grampians. You might discover:

• Kalamata Olives: These classic Greek-style olives boast firm flesh and rich, fruity, wine-like flavours.

• Manzanillo Olives: Hailing from Spain, these olives offer a crisp texture, a distinctive cherry shape, and a slightly nutty flavour profile.

• UC Olives: Developed by the University of California, these large, fleshy olives burst with a vibrant, fruity flavour.

This medley of olives is a true crowd-pleaser, adding a delicious gourmet touch to your Grampians getaway!
