About Us - From Earth to Ritual. From Aotearoa to the World

Ohiwa is more than a product line. It's a story of origin, of deep earth, and of craft, unearthed in Aotearoa New Zealand and refined with care. Our journey began beside Ōhiwa Harbour, where the volcanic soils nurture one of nature's rarest luxuries: the Black Perigord Truffle.

What started in the kitchen has now extended to skincare, where the same truffle, rich in antioxidants and minerals, helps nourish and restore the skin.

We believe the treasures of the land should be shared with reverence. Every bottle, jar and drop we create is a tribute to the when (land), and the wisdom it holds.

our origins

Unearthed Secrets, Rooted in New Zealand

Ōhiwa is a sacred place - rich in volcanic minerals, dense native forests, and cultural wisdom. It's here that our truffles grow beneath the soil, absorbing nutrients over many seasons before harvest. Our founders were driven by the desire to share this hidden luxury with the world, not through mass production, but through small-batch, deeply intentional products.

By combining culinary innovation with ancient wellness rituals, Ōhiwa bridges the natural world with modern living.

dual craft philosophy

Two Realms. One Origin.

At Ōhiwa, we honour the duality of nature, its ability to both nourish and restore.

From chefs to skin therapists, our products are designed to enhance daily rituals in two forms:

Ōhiwa Kitchen
Gourmet truffle oils, salts, honeys and whole truffles, used by top chefs and food lovers alike.

Ōhiwa Beauty
Truffle-rich skincare powered by New Zealand botanicals, Rongoā wisdom, and scientific formulation.

We treat both verticals with the same commitment to quality, sustainability and storytelling.
