Lauriston Grove is one of the earliest olive groves planted in Tasmania. The property is located on the pristine coastal isthmus known as Hope Beach in South Arm, south of Hobart. The combination of consistent pure coastal breezes, sea mist, cool dry climate, well drained sandy loamy soils and natural underground waters are the essential factors resulting in the production of high quality extra virgin olive oil.
