Forget wine tasting, try some olive oil
Forget wine connoisseurs, it’s all about getting to know olive oil — from shops that specializing in the oils to restaurants that feature them. Just like wine, olive oil varies greatly depending on the fruit — where it’s grown and who’s growing it.

What to look for in olive oil
Olive oil is different from other cooking oils in many ways. The most important differences to consumers and cooks are its heart-healthy properties and its taste. Unlike vegetable oils, it has one.
It can be evaluated like wine, especially extra-virgin olive oil that comes from the first pressing of olives grown in one grove or region. In these oils, terroir, the French term describing how weather, land and water affect crops grown in a specific place, becomes obvious.
These properties are especially prominent in olive oil that costs $25 or more a bottle. They are less noticeable in generic, grocery store olive oils, and that’s because the olives come from a variety of growers and possibly more than one country.
Some consumers buy expensive estate olive oils for finishing touches such as drizzling on tomatoes and less-expensive, generic varieties for cooking.
Olive oil is really a fruit juice that should be consumed within two years of pressing and within 90 days of opening. Don’t buy more than you can use in about three months. If it is cloudy, pass it by or throw it away. It is past its prime and could be rancid. Read the label. Italica oil ($5.99 for 17 ounces) states on its label that the olives are from the hills surrounding the city of Italica in southern Spain. (Even though the hurried shopper might assume Italica is from Italy.) *

Puget déploie tous les codes provençaux pour ses 150 ans
Fin juin, hamacs, transats et parasols attendaient le passant à la Villette à Paris pour une incitation à la sieste. Organisateur de cette manifestation poussant au farniente : Puget. Les plus courageux pouvaient s’adonner à la pétanque. Pour ses 150 ans, la marque d’huile d’olive née à Marseille et qui fait aujourd’hui partie de Lesieur a misé sur les évocations du Midi liées aux vacances.
Sur le petit écran aussi, les références provençales s’en donnent à coeur joie. Puget y développe une saga publicitaire autour de Fernandel, à base d’extraits de films. Et pour cultiver en parallèle sa modernité, il a été durant quatre mois le sponsor de « Plus belle la vie », le feuilleton diffusé sur France 3 ayant Marseille pour cadre.
En accroissant cette année sa visibilité, la griffe, qui revendique la première place du marché des huiles d’olive en grande et moyenne surfaces, compte faciliter l’acceptation de son extension de marque à des spécialités à tartiner pour l’apéritif, comme la tapenade ou le caviar d’aubergine.

North California: Time to celebrate olives
By Cynthia Culp Allen,
If you’re looking for something fun and local to do this weekend, you can’t go wrong with Corning’s 18th annual Olive Festival. It starts Friday evening and ends around 4 p.m. Saturday. You can go to some or all of the events. This weekend promises great weather to enjoy the activities. In the past, we haven’t had to worry about rain on our parade, but extreme heat. Pack sunscreen, shades and a water bottle. The weather should cooperate to make it a fun celebration.
The customary parade down Solano Street begins at 6 p.m. Friday. The theme this year is Celebrating 100 Years in the Olive City. Corning was incorporated 100 years ago. The city was named for John Corning of the New York Central Railroad. (Did you know that there is also a Corning, New York?) The first railroad train arrived in Corning October 1, 1882. Mission olives were planted in the Corning area in the 1890s. The olives were used in oil production. In 1897, Nevadillo Blanco and Manzanillo olives became the oil-producing olives of choice since they were less expensive.
