Te Rima is a new name for an old favorite. Originally known as the J5 cultivar. Unique to the Northland and one of New Zealand’s oldest cultivars. It has adapted incredibly well to Northlands humidity and can be found growing both inland and right on the beach.
The First Drop single cultivar "Te Rima" is our signature oil and can be classed as a stronger tasting oil. The many flavours of grass and citrus combine to produce a piquant taste sensation punctuated by a pungent, peppery after-taste. It is uniquely Northland and emphasises again the complimentary tastes produced by our inland and coastal groves. An exceptional oil to compliment steak and meat dishes. |
