Organic Olive Oil

E and I had lunch at Kailis Brothers in Leederville just before Christmas. After we had finished lunch we ducked into the seafood market to have a look! I always like to see what is on offer, especially now since C supplies so much of our fish and seafood. There was an olive oil tasting set up, and it was for Kailis Organic Olive Oils. There were several different varieties, including one that was blood orange infused and another that was lime infused, as well as a standard extra virgin, and all organic! I definitely recommend tasting them if you can. They also supply you with recipes you can use the oils with, the blood orange infused oil seemed to be aimed towards desserts and cakes, and the lime infused towards seafood.


Last Christmas C and I came across the Valley of the Giants Wines and Olives. It was newly opened, a very modern architectural tasting room with lots of lovely timber. We tasted the olives and the olive oil, and were so impressed that we bought a (rather large) jar of their olives as well as a couple of bottles of olive oil! The oil was lovely, no horrible aftertaste that you find with some of the oils.


Olio Bello also offer organic olive oils, and C and I also have some of their product in the cupboard! When we visited the display we got to see how the press worked and taste some of the raw product!


It is so nice to be able to purchase a locally grown product, and for that product to be worth purchasing!
