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 Australian olive oils with specific qualities and flavours, and of equal importance create a consistently high-quality product from year to year.

This led to extensive research on the Mediterranean diet, which has now been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease. Extra virgin olive oil is one of the key features of this diet and protects against heart disease via numerous mechanisms. It lowers inflammation, protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation, improves the function of the lining of the blood vessels, and may help prevent unwanted blood clotting.
