The Almanac
The "Olive
World Almanac" a World first for all Club Members.
Full of useful notes on olive oils, varieties -
there are
over sixty
to taste and then some exquisite blends exclusive to the club, regional
notes, Michelin Chef and artisan recipes, and also not forgetting Judy
Ridgway's tasting notes. Every new
oil
will have their own tasting notes. In this
way
the world's first up to date olive oil "bible" will be created!
The Clubs first oils were from Greece. The grower is Yannis Grohman
and has a vast experience in the ways of the olive. Two of his oils went
to David
Rosengarten's
club
early
2006. All his oils are extra virgin cold pressed, single variety and
one is organic.
The old must give way to the new, we enjoyed the oils from Portugal
and Spain and the last of the delightful selection from the Peloponnese,
Greece.
The new harvest has been chosen and it is an exquisite collection from
South Africa, yes, South Africa! On the right three new entries, Willow
Greek a sweet Mission variety, then Waterfall River a full robust Frntoio
and Leccino, organic and the Directors Reserve, Frantoio, Coratina, Leccino
and FS17, a well balanced all rounder.
Earlier this year the fresh olive oil arrivals exclusive to
the Members are shown on the right - we have had
some rave reviews, from
