Oliv.iQ is the exclusive and proprietary integrated olive oil production system owned by Cobram Estate Olives. Oliv.iQ is the result of more than 25 years of practical experience, research and innovation carried out by the world’s leading vertically integrated olive company under the supervision of renowned expert, Leandro Ravetti. Oliv.iQ has been developed by growers for growers aiming at maximising returns efficiently and sustainably. Oliv.iQ achieves 60% higher oil yields than the average of the world’s top 6% most productive groves and nearly 9 times more oil than the global average with a production cost per litre 30% lower than world’s weighted average. Oliv.iQ is also a global reference in terms of olive oil quality producing some of the most decorated extra virgin olive oils in the world.
