Electric olives
Claire Doole visits a Córdoba olive farmer and finds he is doing his bit to combat global warming.
As far as the eye can see, olive groves dot the hills of Andalucia. For centuries, the groves have supplied olives and olive oil – staples of Spanish cuisine – to restaurants and retailers. But over the past decade, olive growers have found a new market for their produce: the electricity sector.
Stretching across Spain’s southern-most tip, Andalucia is home to the world’s first olive power plant. In 1995, an electricity plant in the town of Palenciana on the Cordoba-Malaga border became a global pioneer in using olives as a source of renewable energy.
The plant turns olive residue into biomass — a type of fuel generated from animal waste and plant material such as wood and crops. This is then burnt to generate electricity and heat. The Palenciana plant currently produces enough green electricity for 27,000 households, and has since been joined by four others in the region.
The miracle ingredient in an olive being produced
The Kale Natural Herb Company in the Edremit district of Balýkesir began producing a component named ‘oleuropein’ that is used in cosmetics and cancer treatment. Producing the component both in liquid and powder form with a special method decomposing an olive leaf, the company developed commercial ties with various companies from 10 different countries, according to the Doðan news agency.
Production Manager Gülden Esen, stating that their aim is to make progressive moves in Turkish medical industry, said: “We have established our institution. In a very short time, we will start to export this product which can be used in food and cosmetics as well”.
Esen, emphasizing that 10 universities in Turkey supported their studies said, “this product will help to reduce the import of medical raw materials. Medicines will become cheaper.”
The company’s owner Faruk Durukan underlined the cell renewing and anti-aging effects of ‘oleuropein’ by emphasizing the widespread usage of the material in cancer treatment. Durukan said: ”The olive – which is known to have beneficial effects against viruses, bacteria and fungi – was discovered to have beneficial effects against cancer as well research showed. Today in the United States, the price of 60 pills made out of olives is $30. The olive apart from having components that are effective in cancer treatment also contains vitamin A, D, E and K.”
Olive oil producers scoop three international golds
By Rebekah Burgess,
A WAIRARAPA olive oil producer has become the only one worldwide to gain three gold medals in the main section of an international competition announced on Sunday.
Ruakokoputuna Olives won three golds at the Los Angeles International Extra Virgin Olive Oil Competition, which included a total Wairarapa medal haul of nine from four producers.
Martinborough-based Ruakokoputuna Olives co-owner Mike Wilkinson said to be the only company to receive three golds in the main oil section is a major achievement, especially for a relatively new industry and compared with big producers like Spain.
“We are producing amazing oil with people that have been doing it for centuries. In years to come we are going to have a very successful industry in New Zealand,” he said.
Other medals for oil types included silvers for iLove, Wairarapa Olives and Martinborough Produce Company and a bronze for Molive Gold.

All about olives
By FÜSUN ATALAY,
More than just a cocktail garnish, these tangy, meaty little fruit are good and good for you.
Many people see olives and think martinis, but olives are used as ingredients for many different culinary creations, including tapenades, sausages and breads.
More adventurous types might enjoy chocolate and ice cream made with olive oil.
A typical breakfast from my childhood in Turkey consisted of feta cheese, rose petal jam, crusty bread, tea and a bowl of shimmering, meaty olives cured in olive oil. My mother used olive oil for all of her cooking because she said it was healthier than butter or margarine and was good for the skin.
Olive trees have been around since ancient times. Their fruit has been used as a source of food and oil, and their branches have been recognized as a peace symbol.
In her book, “A Modern Herbal,” first published in 1931, Maude Grieve writes “in scriptural and classical writings, the oil is mentioned as a symbol of goodness and purity, and the tree as representing peace and happiness.”
