Australian Olives

Early indications are that this is going to be an amazing year for the Australian olive harvest, with yeilds in areas such as western Victoria, up by 50%.  This is due to the wet summer which has left trees laden with ripening olives.  Family owned Toscana will be busy gathering olives from around 28,000 trees.  Their award winning extra virgin olive oil comes from one of Australia's oldest olive groves established in 1943. If you live in Australia you can contact them for a free tasting sample!  Elsewhere you can buy the oil online.  Enjoy!
