Established in 2002, DIVINITY, purveyors of international award winning extra virgin olive oil is a family owned affair, run by Michael and Leanne Chinnery.

The DIVINITY name was chosen because according to ancient legend the olive tree was a gift from a divinity, goddess Athena daughter of Zeus. We also believed that this name suited our elegant but distinctive classical branding and the message that our product was natural, pure and of a very high quality.

Planting Tuscan varietals Frantoio and Leccino we handpicked our first commercial harvest in 2008.

One of the typical Tuscan olive varieties, our Frantoio EVO is a delicate fruity oil of unsurpassed quality, characteristically associated with aromas of butter, and green apple.

Another of the Tuscan olive varieties, our Leccino is renowned for producing a delicate oil of superior quality with a medium degree of pepper aftertaste. Characteristically associated with aromas of fresh grass, nuts, and melons

In November 2010 we released our Pomegranate Balsamic at TASTE Auckland and sold our entire stock within two days. Since this time it has become a very popular product, and along with our Award Winning Extra Virgin Olive Oil, is stocked in many New Zealand Deli's and popular gourmet food stores such as Nosh and Farro Fresh.
