Turkey: Olive oil factory becomes museum
An initiative has been started by the Kuşadası Association of Tourist Guides (KURED), with the support of the Turkish Tourist Guides Federation (TUREF), to make an old olive oil factory located in the Ortaklar neighborhood of Aydın’s Germencik province into a museum.
The museum will be the second one in its field in Turkey after the Adatepe Olive Oil Museum in the Altınoluk province of Ayvalık in Balıkesir. Speaking to the Anatolia news agency, KURED Chairman Ali Karapınar said they had talks with the owners of the factory, Germencik Province Director Niyazi Can and Ortaklar Mayor Ümmet Akın to make the factory, which dates back to 1930, a museum and received their support.

L’huile d’olive de plus en plus prisée par les Français
Favorisée par les études scientifiques sur ses effets bénéfiques sur la santé, l’huile d’olive connaît un succès grandissant auprès des Français, avec une consommation qui a quadruplé en 20 ans.
L’huile d’olive s’est imposée dans les foyers français. Ils sont désormais 62,8% à l’utiliser aujourd’hui, contre 52% en 1996 et seulement 31% en 1986. Elle se place désormais devant l’huile de tournesol (53,6%), les huiles combinées (33%) et l’huile de colza (24,1%).
Malgré leur engouement, les Français ne consomment encore que 1,5 litre d’huile d’olive par habitant et par an, alors qu’un Italien en consomme 10 litres, un Espagnol 11 et un Grec 19.
L’huile d’olive française, en moyenne trois fois plus chère que l’italienne et cinq fois plus que l’espagnole, représente désormais 18% des huiles alimentaires consommées en France contre 12% il y a 20 ans mais 40% en valeur.

Shoppers import fresh olive oils from around the globe to their kitchens
Sunshine in a bottle
By Kim Mikus
Shops devoted to fresh olive oils and balsamic vinegars are ripening.
The number of stores featuring a wide variety of extra virgin olive oils is increasing as shopper’s look for healthier alternatives and more flavorful oils for cooking.
Food celebrities hyping the virtues of EVOO — extra-virgin olive oil — are another factor contributing to the recent popularity.
“It’s catching on like wildfire,” said Ed O’Connell, co-owner of The Olive Mill in Geneva, one of the first tasting shops of its kind in the area. The Geneva store has seen about 25 percent increase in sales this January over last, O’Connell said.
Oils and vinegars are the primary product at these new stores. Shoppers are able to taste the various selections, from pomegranate vinegar to basil olive oil, before they’re bottled and corked.
The specialty stores growing throughout the suburbs boast they offer the freshest olive oils from Italy, Spain, Australia and California. A franchise, Oil & Vinegar, is also moving into the market with stores in Algonquin Commons and Westfield Old Orchard in Skokie.
