Kurunba Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Named 'Kurunba' (Spirit of the Land)'  to reflect the uniqueness of Olio Bello's breathtaking location, richness of  earth and passion of purpose -  Kurunba is a medium to fruity style oil and a great all-rounder.

Kurunba is one of Olio Bello's first and most popular and awarded olive oils, consistently delivering year on year - with its unique and carefully crafted blend of the finest olives, from the Olio Bello's certified organic property.

In 2019, ‘Kurunba’ again received a Gold Medal at the premium West Australian awards  for its excellence and refreshing fruity green banana and guava aroma.   A combination of our Corregiolo and Boutellian (with a hint of Marioli), the oil received a 2020 Silver Medal at the WA Olive Awards. In 2021, Kurunba (Bouteillan), was awarded a Silver Medal at the WA for an oil sourced from a single grove.

In 2022,  Kurunba won a Bronze Medal and features the french varietal Bouteillan, with Frantoio and Corregiola.  It is a light to medium  blend and an Olio Bello favourite.

2022 Olive Awards - Judge's Comments:

Bronze Corregiola Frantoio "Fresh and medium-strength aromas of tomato leaf, artichoke, herbal & grassy. Light buttery feel in mouth. Grassy aromas transfer well with nutty flavours, and a slow bitterness and pungency. Well-balanced & complex with lasting bitterness and pungency."
