Nolans Road Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from certified organic olives, allowing for a unique flavour intensity each growing season. After pressing, the oils are naturally settled and evaluated, then blended with other varieties from their Hynam farm and partner growers to achieve their signature style. Grown in Hynam near Naracoorte on the South Australia's Limestone Coast, Nolans Road prides itself on quality and sustainability.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil 

Only olive oil of the highest quality can be called “Extra Virgin”. Legally, an olive oil can only be called “Extra Virgin” if it passes strict chemical analysis tests in an industry-accredited laboratory. Nolans Road olive oils are assessed every season and fall well within the legal boundaries of the definition. 

2024 NOLANS ROAD ROBUST 

Nolans Road Robust Olive Oil has been widely acclaimed by chefs and food writers right from our first bottling in 2004. Bursting with vitality, food lovers delight in the flavour it brings to their food. UK television host Nigella Lawson says it’s her favourite olive oil and Australia’s doyenne of food writers,  Stephanie Alexander, described it in The Age newspaper as “outstanding”.

Lovers of this style of extra virgin olive oil are seeking the green, grassy, peppery characteristics that come from our Italian varieties of olives specially picked at the beginning of the harvest season (April or May depending on what the growing season has been like). Those Italian varieties – frantoio, leccino, signora and pendolino – also give the oil its signature fragrant nose up front. 

Nolans Road Robust is bottled unfiltered. Once they are pressed, they leave their oils to settle naturally over the winter months before they are carefully blended to ensure a balanced, delicious extra virgin olive oil.  Robust Olive oil matches well with strong, punchy flavours  –  rocket salads, rich soups and stews, red meats or just grab a chunk of the best bread you can find and dunk it straight in a dipping bowl of the good stuff!

The fruity and creamy taste of Nolans Road Delicate makes it incredibly versatile, perfect for both dipping and baking.

Our organic Matcha Power is sourced from Miyazaki prefecture in Southern Japan.

Palate: Light bodied & mellow, with milky aromas.

Organic ingredient: Japanese Matcha (Camellia sinensis). Culinary grade for a variety of uses - drinking & cooking. Naturally contains caffeine.

Directions: Whisk half - one teaspoon in 100mls of freshly boiled water. Top with more hot water or milk of choice to make a latte. Enjoy hot or cold (simply add ice cubes or cold milk).

How To Mix Our Matcha Powder Using our Japanese Bamboo Whisk

Gather Your Tools:

• Matcha powder
• Bamboo whisk (chasen)
• Matcha bowl (chawan) or small wide bowl
• Sifter (optional)
• Hot water (80°C/176°F—just below boiling)

Sift the Matcha:

• Place 1 teaspoon of Organic Matcha Powder By Apotheca into a sifter over your matcha bowl.
• Sifting helps remove any clumps for a smoother, frothier blend.

Add Hot Water:

• Pour about 2 tablespoons of hot water into the bowl. This creates a paste to prevent clumping.
• Gradually add more water (about ½ cup total).

Whisk It Up:

• Hold the bamboo whisk lightly and whisk briskly in an “M” or “W” motion, not circular.
• Whisk until the matcha is frothy and a light layer of foam forms on top.

Enjoy:

• Sip straight from the bowl or pour into a cup. Matcha can be enjoyed pure or with your choice of milk for a matcha latte.

Tip: Clean your bamboo whisk gently under warm water after each use and let it air dry upright to keep it in perfect shape.

Naturally scented with 100% essential oils of peppermint and lavender, this candle features a pure coconut soy blend for a slow, clean burn.

It's a favourite among those seeking a refreshing, toxin-free scent and is made with a natural cotton wick.

Infused with the calming properties of peppermint and Tasmanian lavender, this candle offers over 40 hours of burn time, while promoting headache relief, memory improvement, and a sense of calm and relaxation.

Why Natural Candles?

We avoid paraffin candles and synthetic fragrances because they release harmful toxins, such as benzene and toluene, when burned, which can negatively impact our health and the environment. Paraffin, derived from petroleum, is not biodegradable and contributes to air pollution. In contrast, we prefer candles made from soy, beeswax, and coconut, as these are natural, renewable, and burn cleanly. They produce little to no soot and are less likely to trigger allergies or respiratory issues. Essential oils, used for fragrance, are a safer and more sustainable alternative to synthetic scents, offering therapeutic benefits while promoting well-being.
