La Barre Olives was created by Charles de la Barre de Nanteuil to establish an olive grove at his family farm of Hardwicke Stud, Yass. Charles’ rural tradition in France, Italy and Australia meant that olives are part of his life’s blood. The aim was to produce a beautiful olive grove so as to make an excellent and fresh olive oil in Australia for the local market.

At the time there was little knowledge about olives in Australia, so Charles was very fortunate to have the opportunity to undertake an intensive course with the world famous Professor Giuseppe Fontanaza of Italian Institute of Olive Production at Perugia. The focus of the institute was to modernize the industry in order to maximize production while maintaining quality of the olive oil.

Two Groves One Objective
La Barre is in the fortunate position to produce olives on two farms with very different climates and growing conditions. The different locations produce olives with a great variety of attributes and thereby gives La Barre the opportunity to produce olive oils with specific qualities and flavours, and of equal importance create a consistently high quality product from year to year.

Hardwicke Grove was  established in 1999 and is located in the emerging cool climate wine country of Yass and Murrubateman. The grove was planted down to Frantoio, Leccino, 1-77, Boutillion, and Lecquere. The region is well known for its cold winters and pleasant warm summers similar to areas in Tuscany. These conditions create oils with intense and robust flavours.

Sterling Olive Grove and Cowra Olive Grove were established at Billimari in central west New South Wales. Billimari is also becoming a well known viticultural area producing area.. Olives. Among the 30,000 trees planted were the varieties Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino, Coratina, FS 17, Piccholine, Koraniki, Picual and Arbequina. The Professor Fontanazza identified this region as being very similar to central Sicily an area famous throughout history for making some of the best oils in the world. Oils from Billimari tend to be sweeter and intense fresh frangrances.

Processing Plant
La Barre was instrumental in establishing Billimari Olive Processing plant to convert the olives into oil. The processing plant was established in 2005 on farm and is now one of the biggest facilities in New South Wales.

The Pieralisi processing plant comes from Italy and represents the latest technology in olive oil extraction. Less romantic that the old stone mill and matt press, the new stainless steel plant produces a consistently higher quality oil.

La Barre’s philosophy in processing is based on the concept that ‘less is more’. Olive oil is a fruit juice, so the fresher and less affected by the process it is the better the quality. Fruit is harvested just before it is ripe by La Barre’s Olive harvester and transferred to the plant where it is processed within 15 hours. Great care is taken to make sure that the fruit is not bruised, pressed down or overheated while waiting to be processed.

The fruit after being graded is then washed, in potable water, crushed and slowly mixed in a paddle mixer for 25 – 40 minutes depending on the variety. The paste is then passed through a centrifuge to separate the solids and water from the oil. A final high speed separator removes any final impurities. The whole process takes approximate 1 hour from olive to consumable oil.

Each variety has different characteristics. The blender formulates the type of oil he or she desires and then blends the different variety of oils together to produce the desired result. With time all oils mellow. Therefore by storing and packaging La Barre can make small modifications to the blend in order to maintain a constant product.

People
Much of the quality of the oil is derived from the effective maintenance of the grove. Nick Perkins has been involved with La Barre from the planting of the first tree. His incredible attention to detail and passion for the product greatly contributes to overall success of the olive oil we produce. He is ably supported by a collection of characters.

We produce the eggs on a property which also grows sheep and cattle, using rotational sustainable farming. Our pastured eggs are laid by chickens living freely in the paddock, grass-fed, and housed in mobile caravans. The caravans are moved every 2 days to ensure the chickens get new grass and stay in the sun all day. The stocking density is just 45 chickens per hectare. In other words, each chicken has about 180sq.m. to roam around freely. This makes the eggs healthy and delicious. They poach very well and have a flavor and a taste unlike other eggs

Hilltops Free Range eggs received the Champion ribbon at the Royal Canberra Poultry Show 2018. The professional jury measured and scored all eggs according to 9 criteria, and Hilltops eggs received perfect scores in 5 of those criteria: yolk, albumen, chalazae, freshness, shell texture, freshness, bloom and appearance.

Beyond Free Range

The chickens in our Hilltops farm roam around with 180 sq.m. per chicken boasting 45 chickens per hectare. We move their mobile sheds around every few days so they can always enjoy fresh green grass. No barns nor cages. Pastured eggs from happy chickens.

Clean air, clean food

Our farm is in the cleanest region in Australia. The chickens feed on lush green grass and bask in the glorious sun, making Hilltops free range eggs naturally healthy and the yolk bright orange.

Fresh Farm to Table

Hilltops Free Range eggs are brought to you directly from our farm, fresh and organic. There is minimal transport and storage, no re-sellers nor long distribution chains. From the farm to your table in hours.

Biodynamic organic

We rotate the paddocks on our 2,000acres farm between our chickens, Merino sheep and Angus beef cattle. We apply biodynamic and organic farming principles to protect the land and respect the animals.

Pastured eggs

'Pastured' means our our chickens are raised outdoors, eat fresh green grass and enjoy the sun and wind on their feathers. They are protected by our Maremma Sheepdogs.

No additives

No hormones added, no omega-3 fish additives, no pesticides, no yolk coloring, no GMs. All food grown and produced locally. Naturally produced food for best taste and nutritional characteristics.

Fire Slap BBQ Gloves are made of Aramid fibers, a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibres. The same fibres used in the manufacture of race car, police, military, fire and rescue protective uniforms. Your gloves are EN 407 standard certified with a heat resistance to 300°C / 572°F. Although these gloves have an extremely high heat rating we ask that you only use them for your normal day to day BBQ and cooking needs as unnecessary exposure to extreme temperatures above 300°C / 572°F will shorten the life span of your kick ass gloves. Please do not touch/hold any heat source for more than a couple of seconds as most heat sources will be well above 300°C / 572°F and will burn through. Be very careful of handling any metal/porcelain plates or grates that have been inside your cooker as they retain heat very well and can sometime be well over 300°C / 572°F. The length of the gloves is no mistake either as this feature provides protection to your forearms from those nasty BBQ brandings were sure you have experienced in the past. Our gloves are tough as nails but they are not designed to pick up wet cuts of meat like beautiful juicy briskets or sticky pork ribs so please keep them as dry as possible and give them a hand wash every once and a while in warm water to keep them clean.

La Barre’s philosophy in processing is based on the concept that ‘less is more’. Olive oil is a fruit juice, so the fresher and less affected by the process it is the better the quality. Fruit is harvested just before it is ripe by La Barre’s Olive harvester and transferred to the plant where it is processed within 15 hours. Great care is taken to make sure that the fruit is not bruised, pressed down or overheated while waiting to be processed.

The fruit after being graded is then washed, in potable water, crushed and slowly mixed in a paddle mixer for 25 – 40 minutes depending on the variety. The paste is then passed through a centrifuge to separate the solids and water from the oil. A final high speed separator removes any final impurities. The whole process takes approximate 1 hour from olive to consumable oil.

Each variety has different characteristics. The blender formulates the type of oil he or she desires and then blends the different variety of oils together to produce the desired result. With time all oils mellow. Therefore by storing and packaging La Barre can make small modifications to the blend in order to maintain a constant product.

People
Much of the quality of the oil is derived from the effective maintenance of the grove. Nick Perkins has been involved with La Barre from the planting of the first tree. His incredible attention to detail and passion for the product greatly contributes to overall success of the olive oil we produce. He is ably supported by a collection of characters.

We can cure your fish in our own special brine and smoke it for you!

The price shown is correct, however please do not weigh your own fish and add this product to your cart as we must weigh the fish here at the shop on our certified scales. In short this is not an item that can be ordered and paid for online. If you are a regular online customer we can pick up your fish when we drop your meat order off and drop them back to you smoked on your next delivery (let us know on your order in the comments section).

As we must smoke a fair quantity of products to make it worth while firing up the smoker there may be a few days in the week where you will have to wait for the next smoking session.

If you'd like your fish smoked, please either bring them to the store, or email orders@jordoschopshop.com or call 02 62318755 for any queries.
