CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE
Jun 05, 2026
Among rows of silver-green olive trees and rich country soil, Rylstone Olive Press has quietly built a reputation that extends far beyond regional New South Wales.
Today, their extra virgin olive oils are not only recognised as some of Australia’s finest, but are also celebrated on the world stage, earning international acclaim and finding their way into the kitchens of some of the world’s best chefs.
Behind the business are Jayne and Peter Bentivoglio, the family owners dedicated to producing olive oils of exceptional quality, freshness and character. Entirely Australian owned and operated, Rylstone Olive Press has become synonymous with excellence, driven by a philosophy that great olive oil begins long before harvest - it starts in the soil.
“At Rylstone Olive Press, we see ourselves as guardians of the soil,” Jayne explains. “Everything we do comes back to protecting the land, nurturing the trees and producing the very best oil possible.”
Sustainability is woven into every stage of the process. Rainwater is carefully collected and reused throughout the grove, olive washing water is filtered and returned to the land, and olive husk is composted beneath the trees to build organic matter and strengthen soil health.
Because, as they say, the better the soil, the better the oil - and that dedication is reflected in every bottle.
Pressed within hours of harvest for maximum freshness, their oils are known for their vibrant fruit characteristics, balance and complexity. Across their range, each varietal offers something distinct, shaped by both the land and the season.
Their 2025 awards season further cemented Rylstone Olive Press as one of Australia’s most awarded producers.
The Limited Edition Frantoio claimed Champion EVOO of Show at the WA Olive Awards alongside multiple Gold Medals across Australia, London and Paris.
Their Limited Edition Picual was crowned Champion NSW + ACT Oil at the Hunter Olive Show, while oils including Murray Darling, Crooked River and Cudgegong continued to secure Gold Medals at major national competitions.
For Jayne and Peter, however, the awards are simply a reflection of years of consistency, care and passion.
What makes Rylstone Olive Press particularly special is that despite its international reputation, it remains deeply connected to place.
This is a regional family business, built from the ground up, producing world-class olive oil from the heart of country New South Wales.
It’s a celebration not just of olive oil, but of Australian agriculture, regional excellence and the belief that extraordinary products can come from small communities with a big vision.
From grove to bottle, every element is carefully considered. Every harvest matters. And every drop tells the story of the land it came from.
