Hi,
I would be interested in buying some for my fruit and veg shop, im sure it will sell nicely. I like organic things and organic olive oil will go nicely in there. Please inbox me as soon as you are ready, and we can talk further.
<P>I'm getting some 250ml bottles ready. They'll look like this:</P>

<P> </P>
<P>(I still can't work out how do images any more since the site changed, so no more 'photo quiz pictures)</P>
<P>They're quite small, only quarter litres, like the bottles of flavoured oil you get in supermarkets. I've yet to work out a price, but they'll be a <EM>lot </EM>more expensive than the 'extra virgin olive oil' (usually mass produced and refined) in Tesco or Waitrose. This oil is from olives organically grown, hand picked, milled and cold pressed the next day in a village mill, in one of the best olive producing areas of Italy. It's cloudy because that's how it's meant to be and the flavour is actually at its best. It settles and goes clear in 3-4 months.</P>
<P>They make nice gifts or lasts about a year in the kitchen.</P>
<P>I'll post again when I have devised a new label and worked out a price, and figured out how to make it available.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I only have 18 small bottles of olive oil left now, after packaging quite a few as Christmas gfts and giving some away as presents, so I'm going to put off olive oil merchandising until some time next year when I can get hold of another 30 litres, or a new crop of 60 litres.....</P>
<P>When they're ready they will almost certainly be available from behind the counter at the Noble and Season, I'll post again when they are! </P>
<P>Please see my separate post about bottles.</P>
I've only just seen this, and now I'm out of town. Will definitely buy some when I'm back though.<br>'Stroud Green.Org Goes to Italy' - yes please! It looks beautiful.<br>
Yes, there was a long and fascinating article about olive oil adultery in the New Yorker a few years ago. Ah, here we go:<br><br>http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/08/13/070813fa_fact_mueller<br><br>Ah! I see that the article and the book are written by the same person. The article was very good but I am not sure I'd want to read a whole book about it (that's why I love the New Yorker). <br><br>
