La saga de l’huile d’olive libanaise
Green Gold, the Story of Lebanese Olive Oil
Par Carla HENOUD,
Tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir sur l’huile d’olive au Liban se trouve dans cet ouvrage riche en photos, signées Roger Moukarzel et Kamal Mouzawak. En textes, rédigés par Sabina Mahfoud, et en recettes, proposées par Mary Elizabeth Sabieh, 164 pages à vous mettre l’huile à la bouche !
Outre le cèdre, l’olivier, symbole de paix dans le monde, a toujours été rattaché à notre pays, ses villages, ses us et coutumes et ses traditions culinaires.
Nos paysages sont ponctués de ces arbres qui semblent immortels, porteurs d’histoires, de messages et de saveurs.
Pas un plat ne se fait sans que quelques gouttes de son élixir ne viennent y ajouter leur magie parfumée. Fruit du sol ou des cieux, fruit de cultures qui colorent les villages, d’hommes qui demeurent ancrés dans le passé … Ce sujet a inspiré Charlotte Hamaoui, directrice de la maison d’édition Turning Point, et un groupe de personnes donnant naissance à un recueil qui retrace l’histoire de l’olive, ses petites histoires, les symboles et autres légendes qui y sont rattachés.

New Organic Olive Production Manual
In response to growing demand for organic olive oil and an increasingly competitive market, University of California Cooperative Extension farm advisors and researchers have produced an organic olive production manual.
“Organic olive oil production could be a significant niche in California’s agriculture industry,” says Paul Vossen, UC Cooperative Extension farm advisor in Sonoma and Marin counties, a co-author of the manual. “We’re pleased to be able to offer this resource for growers.”
Organic Olive Production Manual provides detailed information for growers on production issues, economics, pest control, harvest, and organic certification and registration. The 112-page publication includes 45 photographs.
The manual, Agricultural and Natural Resources Publication 3505, may be ordered from the UC ANR Communication Services’ Web site at anrcatalog.ucdavis.edu. The cost is $18. The manual was developed as a supplement to ANR’s Olive Production Manual, 2nd Edition, (ANR Publication 3353).

Review supports olive oil as natures super food for the heart
By Stephen Daniells,
The benefits of olive oil for heart health go way beyond just reducing levels of LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol, says a new review that looks set to further bolster the healthy image of the oil.
Numerous studies have reported that olive oil – the main fat in the Mediterranean diet – to improved cardiovascular health and protection from certain types of cancer, and this science has filtered down to the consumer.
Indeed, Mintel’s Edible Oils report said that the UK olive oil market has been on fire since 2000, growing by 39 per cent to date in order to break through the £100m mark.
“The wide range of antiatherogenic effects associated with olive oil consumption could contribute to explain the low rate of cardiovascular mortality found in Southern European Mediterranean countries, in comparison with other western countries, despite a high prevalence of CVD factors,” wrote reviewer Maria-Isabel Covas.

Templeton olives star in high-end products
By Katy Budge,
Lee Alegre and Adriana Marquez work together in Templeton to market Alegre Olive Oil Company products and Adriana’s Gourmet Olive Tapenade.
Thanks to his vineyard management business, most people probably associate Lee Alegre with grapes, but lately he’s teamed up with close family friends Art and Norma Ornelas and business partner Adriana Marquez to branch out into the world of olives.
In 2000, Alegre was approached by the Ornelases “to plant something on their (Templeton) property that would stay green year round.” Alegre thought of olives, perhaps a no-brainer these days, but at the time “we were one of the first orchards to go in.”
