OLIVE OIL 2010
Our 2010 Olive Oil harvest was very small. We only bottled a small amount, sold it locally, and decided not to sell any on the internet.
Roll on 2011 crop! With all the glorious winter rain in 2010 we expect a bumper crop in 2011.
Every season creates a slightly different olive oil. It's the same with our honey, beef and garlic.
Our job as farmers is to make sure the soil is well looked after to support the crops during all the different and often difficult climate variations.
When we have olive oil for sale we notify our customers.

Here's me back in 2003 with the very first bottles of Virgo Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
A proud day.
A Letter From Roger Sternhell
- Use Virgo Olive Oil to look Slick
Roger the Fruiterer here.
Now I know late last year I went on and on about the Garlic being the greatest achievement on Elmswood. But on taking a closer look at what goes into Patrice’s Olive Oil I am very impressed and excited.
To understand and create a perfect Olive Oil takes a lot of knowledge and dedication. Unfortunately the flamboyant investment bankers machine of the 80’s distracted Australian society's attention.
Despite the history of olives going back to - some say - 8000 BC, these analysts and consultants simply couldn't work it out and got their sums wrong. Disappointing profit results for all. Producing a quality Olive Oil is risky hard work and, as just about any Olive grower will say, it is not to be done for the sake of mere money alone.
Growing olives is a story on its own, but the production of the oil is fascinating reading itself. Patrice's book Tree to Table reveals what all the fuss is all about.
And the proof is in the tasting, you really can tell. I guarantee you will be impressed, delighted with your purchase.
So please immerse yourself in Patrice’s remarkable Olive Oil and its story. Enjoy the experience.
Regards, Roger
