Flinders Island Olive Oil

Flinders Island Olives is the only commercial grove on Flinders Island. The olives are pressed on site within hours of picking to produce a magnificent organic olive oil. This organic extra virgin olive oil reflects the environmental character of the island. It is complex and peppery. We are lucky to be able to partner up with Jude to offer an authentic camping experience on Flinders.
