Cootamundra Olives - The Good Oil!

Cootamundra Olives Extra Virgin Olive Oil


I am lucky enough to have some very clever friends in Cootamundra who have just pressed their first batch of olive oil under the Cootamundra Olives banner. The oil has been certified as extra virgin and is made from the Frantoio and Corregiola olives which they grow on their Cootamundra property. The oil is vibrant, fragrant and really packs a punch in the flavour department.

Seeing celebrity chefs get so excited about good olive oil suddenly makes sense once you have tried the real deal. The Cootamundra Olives extra virgin oil is crushed within hours of harvest and the peppery, fruity taste is delicious. I heard someone say that in a good wine, you can taste the seasons, rains and earthy countryside which combine to produce each wine's unique flavour. I think the same may be said about olive oil - you can almost taste the hot Cootamundra summers and fresh country air as you mop up the oil on some crusty bread.

If you have never tried oil which has come from a small farm where it is harvested, crushed and bottled by the grower, give it a shot and you will never buy the mass produced oils again! If you are visiting the Cootamundra area, Cootamundra Olives oil is available for purchase now. If you would like information on either the Cootamundra Olives products or how to purchase their olive oil they can be contacted at cootaolives@gmail.com
