Olivery News

Royal Easter Show awards are announced with Telegraph Hill getting champion olives.  We also picked up a silver medal for our Barnea Manzanillo Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Full list of winners are on the easter show website.

Spring has begun in Hawke's Bay with beautiful blossom everywhere.  Everywhere except the olive trees that is! Olives will blossom in late November.  We are starting our pruning program in October. This picture shows the start of the flower buds.  You can see them growing from where the leaf meets the stem.

NEVOO is dance in your mouth flavour, splash it on everything and enjoy the aliveness of this fresh from the press olive oil.  Harvested on the 17th May 2013 this oil is at its best right now.  I'm really enjoying it on steamed vegetables in season right now is broccoli and cauliflower.  Pop into the Olivery to get yours or visit Bellatino's in Havelock North.

Once a year we get to see this sight.  I love my Kalamata olives!
