We're still thinking about our feast in the grove last Monday 🤤
Obviously, @cle_ann was the star of the show (as she put the feast together), but her secret weapon? A healthy drizzle of our Early Harvest Picual Extra Virgin Olive Oil over EVERYTHING to help those flavours sing.
Have you tried our 2025 harvest yet?
Have you tried this beautiful Autumn recipe from @cle_ann yet? Charred Pumpkin is roasted in Arbequina extra virgin olive oil and served with @thatsamorecheese Stracciatella AND a delicious Pitted Green Olive Pesto. Autumn is here its time to pop the oven on try this…head to the recipe page of our website for the full recipe 🫒
A delicious fish recipe for the long weekend using fresh sardine fillets, MZ green olive pesto and tomato. Thank you to @cle_ann for helping us fill our tables this Easter with simple, flavour filed Autumn recipes. Tag your favourite fish shop to buy fresh sardines at 🫒🍃🍅🐟 head to our website for the full recipe…
This delicious Green Olive & Basil Pesto is seriously addictive. Thanks to @cle_ann chef and food stylist, for adding this to our Mount Zero recipe collection on the website. Our pitted green olives paired with arbequina extra virgin olive oil combined with lemon make this pesto sing. It has a depth of flavour that will have you dreaming about it for days…we enjoyed ours with @island.pasta spelt fusilli and of course extra olives 🫒
Baguette toastie kind of day.

Two oils, endless possibilities. 🫒
@cle_ann puts our Delicate EVOO to work on some slow-cooked confit garlic, as its soft, buttery texture and delicate flavour is perfect for confiting. She then levels things up with @backhaus_bakery ’s olive sourdough, cavolo nero, pine nuts, parmesan and a bold glug of our Classic EVOO for an open sandwich that’s sure to steal the show!
Delicate for subtlety. Classic for punch. Together, these premium olive oils cover every base.
Still floating after this magic day in Aireys Inlet.
It was an honour to cook for such kind, beautiful people, celebrating a meaningful moment in their stunning new space.
It was one of those jobs where everything just clicked - the setting, the food, the laughter, the moments in between.
So grateful to have fired up the grill and worked on this dream cook. There’s nothing quite like the flavour that grill brings. (If you know, you know.)
The spread came together with help from some favourites - fougasse from @backhaus_bakery , seafood from @gempierseafood , and a dreamy cheese @calendar_cheese .
And doing it all with my mum, @dsdimsim - the ultimate prep queen, co-cook and support system - made it all the more special. We love cooking together and days like this remind me why we do it.
Thank you for having us. This one’s staying with me for a long, long time.

With the weather starting to cool down, we thought it was high time for the return of comfort foods.
@cle_ann has outdone herself with this one: Taverna-Style Pearl Barley with Pipis and Charred Peppers. Seriously, this might be our new favourite!
Finished with fresh oregano and a drizzle of our Chilli Pressed EVOO, it’s a modern coastal bowl with deep Greek roots — simple, soulful and built to share.

Huge thanks to @miznonmelbourne for trusting me with your Christmas party. The sun was shining, the table was glowing and every detail came together just right 🌿✨
Shoutout to my mum @dsdimsim for being the best little helper ever and to @backhaus_bakery for the stunning bread – it was the cherry on top 🍞✨
I know I haven’t shared much on the grid lately, but I’ve been up to some exciting things! Check out my Highlights for all the behind-the-scenes magic and beautiful events I’ve been lucky to be part of.
The catering, props, and table styling are my favourite to combine, and I couldn’t be prouder of how it came together. It’s a real joy to bring these moments to life and see everyone come together over good food and a beautiful table.
Thank you Afik and Nicole @nicole_gup for making this day extra special.
We’re pretty smitten with this shot styled by our great mate @cle_ann and captured by Backhaus legend and many hat wearer @innervisionco
When bread is this great it’s best to keep it simple.
A little cheddar from @maffra_cheese and some pickled jalapeños and lunch (or dinner) is sorted!
If there's anyone who knows how much instant flavour our Lemon Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil adds to dishes, it's our own in-house culinary rockstar, Cle-ann Stampolidis!
Her Mediterranean Baked Fish recipe could not be simpler, but it's bursting with fresh flavours and perfect as a quick, mid-week 'throw together' meal. The secret? A liberal drizzle of Lemon Pressed EVOO at the end to take things to the next level!
