MIN - My Italian Neighbour is a micro producer of small batch, extra virgin olive oil from Kangaroo Ground, Melbourne. With full control from the grove to the press and utilising minimal intervention methods, our cold-pressed, unfiltered oils brilliantly express the lands from which they came.
The grove is a modest 500 trees, set on volcanic slope of land in Kangaroo Ground, a small township of just over 1000 residents 26km north east of Melbourne. Named after the abundance of kangaroo grass that was found in the area prior to colonisation, large populations of kangaroos would graze on the grasses and provided an ongoing food source for the Wurundjeri people who resided there.
