Valley Of The Giants Certified Organic Olive Grove The Bachmann aim is to to produce organically to differentiate from mainstream oil producers, to give the consumer confidence by substantiating their true ‘clean, green’ practise. Because of the cool climate, similar that of the regions of Tuscany and Northern Italy, the source of many of the world’s best olive oil, the Oil produced is of top quality, with very low free fatty acid levels.
Following the planting of the groves, trees were mulched heavily with pea and barley straw and drip irrigated for the first four years. After this, watering was ceased.
The main fertilisers used are fish, kelp and microbes, all applied by foliar sprays with an air-blaster. There are no disease issues beyond the occasional scale, which is treated with Bio-Pest, a certified paraffin oil.
The Bachmann are dedicated to working on the farm with nature, and they love their olive trees.
In terms of the future for the olive grove, Bachmann’s would like to stay small, produce the highest quality oil ranking with the best oils worldwide, continue to supply the local market and go overseas with their product.”
Valley of the Giants Organics would like to be part of this exciting emerging market in Australia, and help place Extra Virgin Olive Oil in it’s rightful place on the food pyramid as an everyday need.
