Ollo Australian Olive Oil

I thought I would give this a try and see what I thought of it. It's the first time I have seen it at my store. I am excited to try it.

The climate in the Riverland region in South Australia is very similar to the Mediterranean olive and grape producing areas.
The olive trees in ollo’s grove include more than ten superior Tuscan varieties.
ollo’s state-of-the-art cold press processing building is at the very center of the 1000-acre grove. The central location allows harvested olives to be processed within a couple of hours to provide the freshest possible juice (oil).
Quality control standards, as well as the Fresh & Fruity and Mild & Mellow ollo blends, were established by the late Enrico Rossomando, ollo’s Italian Master Blender who had over 20 years of olive oil making experience.


Since its 2005 debut, ollo has accumulated many awards for its Extra Virgin olive oil.

At CostPlus they olive oils from all over the world. I haven't tried the one from Australia but will give it a try next time.

They get some very unique food items in our CPWorld Market. It's always an adventure going there and looking around.

I really like Australian wines. I am hoping I will like this too.
