About Us

Welcome to Ōriwa, where tradition, quality, and the rich heritage of Hawke’s Bay come together to create something truly special. Founded by Tai and Kiri Roberts, Ōriwa is a family-owned business rooted in the love for our land and the deep connection we share with it. As proud Māori, our story is one of heritage, respect for nature, and a passion for crafting the finest table olives in New Zealand.

Nestled in the heart of Hawke’s Bay, our olive groves are blessed with the region’s unique volcanic soil. This fertile land imparts a distinct, fruity, and flavorful profile to our Manzanillo olives, making them truly one-of-a-kind. Each olive is handpicked and carefully stuffed with locally sourced New Zealand anchovies and pimiento, ensuring every bite bursts with the authentic flavors of Aotearoa.

At Ōriwa, our commitment to quality and sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do. We take pride in our eco-friendly farming practices, nurturing the land and preserving its natural beauty for future generations. From the grove to your table, we ensure that every step of our process reflects our dedication to excellence.

Ōriwa is more than just a business—it’s our way of sharing the rich bounty of our homeland with the world. We invite you to experience the unique taste of our olives and join us in celebrating the vibrant flavors and traditions of New Zealand.

Nau mai, haere mai ki Ōriwa. Welcome to Ōriwa.
