Hancocks TodayHancock's has built on its historical foundations and evolved into the production of many products focussing on the philosophy of:
'As Natural As Can Be' All the products are handmade at our olive grove in sunny North Canterbury. The principal ingredient in all varieties is Mt Grey Extra Virgin Olive Oil. There are smaller amounts of coconut oil and palm oil* which add their additonal qualities of increased bubbles and lather to the creaminess of Olive Oil. *PLEASE NOTE: Sourced from an RSPO certified supplier to ensure our support for sustainable palm oil production. |

By purchasing an existing olive grove and establishing Mt Grey Olives we know we are sourcing top quality local olive oil. Olive oil has been the ultimate 'liquid gold' for thousands of years, rightfully so considering its amazing therapeutic actions and such a vital ingredient to cuisine world-wide.
Olive oil is the major constituent of all soap and bodycare products at Hancocks. From 90 percent of total oil content in the Castile or Marseille-style soaps to over 50 percent in the rest of the soap/bodycare range. We also farm (and distill) two lavender cultivars (L. angustifolia 'Pacific Blue' and L. intermedia 'Grosso'). The oils are used in many of the products - either stand alone or with other precious essential oils to create a range of scents for broad appeal: floral, citrus, wood or spice. Come and visit us at our stall every Saturday at the Amberley Farmers' Market 9am-12 noon: Mt Grey Olives/Hancocks Excelsior Soap |
