Fair exports discussed at olive industry meeting
By Melinda,
The international olive industry is one step closer to implementing regulations that will support fair exports and consumers interest.
The step follows a hot topic session coordinated by the Australian Olive Association (AOA) at the American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS) annual meeting held in Seattle, USA, on 20 May.
Paul Miller, president of the AOA, was invited by the AOCS, the major international organisation for food oil chemistry, to present a session on ‘Regional approaches to extra virgin olive oil quality’, which included nine speakers from Europe, Argentina, the USA, Canada and Australia.
Paul Miller said Australia, which is currently the largest consumer of olive oil per capita outside the Mediterranean, is seen as a technical leader of new olive oil producers due to its modern technical and scientific approach to agriculture.

SOS eyes ‘many’ olive oil companies; admits interest in Unilever’s Bertolli
SOS Cuetara SA is studying the acquisition of ‘many’ olive oil companies and has admitted its interest in international food manufacturer Unilever Plc.’s Italian olive oil brand Bertolli, according to SOS chairman Jesus Salazar.
Speaking to Thomson Financial News on the sidelines of a small-midcaps forum, Salazar said that it is studying ‘many companies’, and that ‘Bertolli is on the market’.
Italian press recently reported that Unilever could sell Bertolli for at least 600 million euros, and suggested SOS and Portugal’s Nutrinvest as possible buyers.
As to SOS’s olive crop this year, Salazar said it is a ‘very good’ season, and expects that it will lead to ‘a stability in prices’ in olive oil.

Mexican Olive Oil: Ensenada to Fairway
By Florence Fabricant,
This extra virgin olive oil, Fairway’s house brand Mexican Mission, made entirely from Mission olives on a small estate near Ensenada in Baja California, is about as subtle as a mariachi band. It is sunny, fairly viscous and green, with substantial olive and sage flavors.
Olive oil figures only minimally in traditional Mexican cookery, and you may not want to use this flavorful oil for frying chiles rellenos or fresh potato chips. But it should be the choice for sautéeing fish, for brushing on shrimp to be grilled or for mixing into the dressing for a salad of nopales and jicama. Fairway is importing and selling the oil for $15 a liter.

Professor Shimon Lavee, chairperson of the International Olive Oil Council (IOOC), visited Vinolive International Wine, Olive, Olive Oil & Technologies Fair in Turkey`s Aegean province of Izmir, and said that GAP region had a great olive farming potential.
“Turkey should make use of this potential,” Lavee told AA in an exclusive interview.
Lavee said that using modern techniques in olive oil production was very important, and told AA that small enterprises should get organized and merge in order to make bigger investments and record great accomplishments.
