olive oil taster by alessi of italy
When you think about it, wine and olive oil are pretty similar. both are fruits that get crushed and processed into an edible liquid. both can be affected by the breed of fruit used and by the weather and soil that the fruit grew in. lorenzo piccione, a sicilian olive oil producer, and köbi wiesendanger took all this to the proverbial logical conclusion and made the taste-huile olive oil taster.
you can use it like a small oil cruet, but it was designed for tasting olive oil – that is, drinking it directly from the taster without pouring it on food. it’s is designed to bring out extra virgin olive oil’s flavors and aromas.

California North Coast leads in olive oil production
The North Coast has emerged as the center of California’s growing olive oil production — at least for now. The California Olive Oil Council says Sonoma County has more olive oil producers than any other.
But that could change as more farmers in the Central Valley switch to olive varieties meant to produce oil.

Aussie olive oil popular in US kitchens
Americans are consuming two million litres of Australian olive oil annually.
The startling statistic was revealed as part of a media briefing on Australian Extra Virgin – the new brand the Australian Olive Association (AOA) is hoping will help the industry grow across the globe.
“America’s kitchens are now using a quarter of Australia’s annual olive oil production, that’s two million litres a year,” Agriculture Minister Peter McGauran said.
The federal government, Mr McGauran said, would help the burgeoning industry with a grant of $385,000 to develop an industry code of practice and also to complete a recent industry restructure.
In 2005, 3,000 tonnes of olive oil were produced in Australia; by 2012 an estimated 30,000 tonnes will be produced annually.
“The industry is now exporting almost three million kilograms of olive oil, 10 times what it was exporting just three years ago,” Mr McGauran said.
“The new branding and restructure will put the olive industry in an even better position to meet Australia’s huge appetite for olive oil, with current annual consumption of around 30,000 tonnes.”
Biosecurity fears that have gripped other agricultural industries including apples and pork were unlikely to harm the olive industry, Mr McGauran said.
“There’s been huge volumes of olive oil imported into Australia over decades and there are no plant disease implications for either the industry or human health.”

Un projet d’envergure et un plan national pour la production d’huile d’olive
Par R.E,
Le Maroc prévoit la mise en service de la première unité incluant dix fermes avec des oliveraies et utilisant les dernières technologies, au courant de ce mois à Beni Mellal. Avec une première récolte prévue pour 2010, la majorité de la production d’huile d’olive sera destinée à l’exportation en vue de satisfaire le penchant grandissant des Européens pour les produits à base d’huile d’olive Les 10 fermes, de 1 000 hectares plantés d’oliviers chacune, s’étalent sur les régions de Haouz, Tensift, Tadla et Meknès, selon le dernier rapport sur le Maroc élaboré par le cabinet d’expertise Oxford Business Group.
Le projet a été lancé en partenariat avec le Crédit agricole du Maroc et la Société générale Asset Management. Le fonds d’investissements Oléa Capital a pour objectif de redonner vie à l’industrie centenaire de l’huile d’olive au Maroc.
A terme, cette initiative permettra une capacité de production annuelle de 30 000 tonnes d’huile d’olive. Le gouvernement s’est également engagé à relancer la production d’huile d’olive. Le Plan national pour la production d’huile d’olive a été mis en place pour accroître rapidement la taille du marché.
A ce jour, quelque 500 000 hectares sont consacrés à l’exploitation d’oliviers, chiffre que le gouvernement entend doubler d’ici à 2010. Le plan a aussi pour objectif d’améliorer la qualité de l’huile d’olive qui, dans la plupart des cas, n’est pas conforme aux standards internationaux.
Tariq Sijilmassi, président du Crédit agricole du Maroc, cité par la même source, est persuadé qu’Oléa Capital est une étape importante pour l’agriculture au Maroc, secteur «en quête d’exemples de réussite» et de «cadre financier moderne».
