Villa Pileggi

Villa Pileggi is a small family business, located in the Macedon Ranges, famous for its production of a rich green blend extra virgin olive oil, known as Frantoio Olive Oil.

Certified Organic Olive Oil

The grove is made up of over 1000 trees and the olives are hand-picked while still attached to the branches before reaching complete ripeness. Growing olives in a cool climate such as Gisborne gives a more intense flavour as olives ripen slower in cooler weather.

Their olive oil is cold pressed, non-blended and unfiltered using the traditional methods that originated in the family's small town in Calabria, Italy. The Villa Pileggi products are Australian Certified Organic and Australian Certified Extra Virgin Cold Pressed, an achievement that John is very proud of.

Find them at our markets and check out John's great range of products.
