Basil Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a 250 ml bottle of olive oil cold pressed with handfuls of fresh basil, so the basil goes in at the press rather than being added afterwards. The maker lists two ingredients: Australian extra virgin olive oil and basil.
Vasse Virgin suggests it for home-made pesto, drizzled over a salad, or brushed onto a pizza base before it goes in the oven. The maker's gourmet food range also includes olives, balsamic vinegars and other olive-based condiments, which it sells from its stores. The other Vasse Virgin pages here are body products such as Spearmint & Green Tea Soap and Natural Perfume - Ryu.
Made by Vasse Virgin, a Margaret River business built around olive oil that added a gourmet food line in 2009.
Seeing it in person
Vasse Virgin has a retail store on Bussell Highway in Margaret River and a soap factory on Puzey Road, Wilyabrup (checked 26 September 2026). Opening days and hours are on the maker's site, and each site carries different products, so check before you go.
Delivery and flying home
Vasse Virgin says it ships within three business days and that deliveries within Australia take 7 to 10 business days (shipping policy, checked 12 October 2026). Oil and vinegar count as liquids. Most domestic flights have no cabin limit. On international flights each container in your cabin bag must be 100 mL or less, so a 250 ml bottle goes in checked baggage. Rules change, so check Home Affairs and your airline, and see our flying-home guide.
Questions
Is the basil infused afterwards?
