Oils ain't oils, olives ain't olives… the health benefits of olive oil and the taste difference premium olive oils can make to your cooking are remarkable. However, many oils sold in Australia are bland, featureless and sweet -far removed from what a premium olive oil should be.
Prepare your tastebuds for delight at the complexity of flavour delivered by this Experience as we show you how to appreciate the subtle differences between olive oils.
Our Gourmet Olive Book will tell you everything you need to know about olive oil - it covers the history of olive oil; cultivation of the olive tree; harvesting, milling & pressing; production of olive oil; classification of olive oil; storage; organoleptic properties; organoleptic assessment; health benefits; and cooking with olive oil.
With the Australian olive oil industry still in its infancy, the quality and price of olive oils varies widely. In many respects the appreciation and understanding of olive oil is where wine was twenty years ago.
The Olives and Olive Oil Experience shows why olive oil should be an important part of your lifestyle, without having to pay over the top for the best oils available.
Olive oil is a low-cost, healthy, rewarding addition to many meals and this Experience will show you how to make the most of it.
