Nestled in the picturesque Perth Hills of Western Australia, the Karrakup region is home to Lacanale Olive Oil, a family-owned and operated business spanning three generations. With roots dating back to Southern Italy, where matriarch Filomena Lacanale ran the local olive oil press out of necessity and resilience, the family continues her legacy by cultivating and producing top-quality olive oil products. The 32-acre olive grove boasts approximately 400 trees of various Italian varieties, including WA Mission, Frantoio, and Pendolino. Recently investing in an olive press machine imported directly from Tuscany, Italy, ensures the continuation of exceptional olive oil production.
In addition to offering a wide range of olive oil products, Lacanale Olive Oil highlights the beneficial properties of olive oil for skincare. Rich in squalene, vitamins A and E, and antibacterial agents, these products cater to those seeking natural alternatives for treating skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis while promoting collagen production for healthy skin. Another notable producer in the region is Destiny Farms, located in Boyanup. They offer high-quality extra virgin olive oil, along with a selection of creams, soaps, and other products, all made locally on their farm. In addition, Destiny Farms provides contract oil processing services for both small-scale and commercial olive growers, ensuring the highest standards of quality control and processing methods.
Lastly, York Olive Oil, situated in York, offers olive processing services utilizing a Pieralisi press since 2002, catering to growers across Western Australia.
