Olivery News

 A change from our current offerings this year.  Instead of creating a traditional varietal or grove blend of oils we have elected to blend together our oils to meet flavour profiles.Robust; a strong oil showing characteristics of pepperyness, pungency and full mouth feel.  To be used with stronger flavour foods like tomato sauces, game meats, mushroom risottos, & roast vegetables.Medium: an oil of middling pungency, with good balance of fruityness bitterness and astringency.  To be used liberally on vegetables, salads, pasta and dishes with a 'medium flavour'.Available from September.

Olives picked today are processed tonight.  Here is some pictures from last nights processing. I find the olives always look better at night, I think it is 'selective seeing' in the low light...certainly the spills look smaller until the next day. I use this equipment to deleaf and size out the small olives.  The large olives go into barrels and vats for fermentation in brine and the smalls get pressed for oil within 24 hours..

Have had a lot of inquiries for Fresh Olives for home curing, so have made these available on the website.  Check them out. Some pictures from this years harvest .
