Description
Vasse Virgin is nestled in the heart of the Margaret River Region. At the end of the tree-lined drive, you'll find our Soap Factory - a converted machinery shed emitting the most wonderful aroma. A visit to the Factory allows you to witness the soap makers at work, as they hand blend a variety of luxurious natural body products using the finest extra virgin olive oil. Overlook the unique working factory and watch the entire process, from manufacture through to the individually hand packaged finished products. Chat with the soap makers, get advice on the best products for your skin type, and discover the unique characteristics of our natural and organic ingredients. Feel the difference by experiencing the products for yourself at our testing stations. Indulge in our complete range of skin and body care, ranging from moisturising lotions, skin balms and scrubs, to bath and massage oils, and shampoo.
The creation of Vasse Virgin emerged when Louis and Edwina Scherini's three children, who suffered from eczema and dermatitis, were advised by Doctors not to use commercial body products. The Scherini's were inspired to create a chemical free alternative, incorporating extra virgin olive oil and essential oils, excellent for those with allergies or sensitive skin. The complete range of skin, body and hair care products caters for customers of all skin types, or those simply looking for a natural alternative.
Vasse Virgin now also has a dedicated tasting room where you can sample a carefully selected range of olive oil varietals including estate and locally-grown extra virgin olive oils. For all those olive-lovers out there, a diverse array of both locally-grown and internationally sourced table olives await your tastebuds. Enjoy a hosted tasting of our gourmet products and the wonderful flavour characteristics in our olive oils - intense fruit characters with strong pungency and often a distinct peppery undertone. Taste the delectable preservative-free gourmet food using natural ingredients, and marvel at the variety of produce available.
A visit to the Vasse Virgin tasting room would not be complete without sampling the infamous Macadamia Pesto along with the scrumptious array of gourmet condiments ranging from hand-made tapenades, mustards, jams, pasta sauces and dukkah, to include a unique range of fruit vinaigrettes and balsamic vinegars, all made by our local Italian chef. It’s a virtual gastronomic delight!
