I get asked all sorts of questions about olive oil.
That's why I wrote the book Tree to Table. But here's some of the more frequently asked questions.
Q: What is LITE oil?
LITE is the biggest con of all. There are not less kilojules in LITE. It's processed and tasteless.
Q: What is POMACE oil?
POMACE oil is made out of the leftover mush from extra virgin production. When I first saw this made in Spain I couldn't believe it met food quality standards. Imagine black muck, put through an industrial process to convert it to an oil, add a bit of green and you have pomace oil.
Q: Do Chooks like Olives? (not really frequently asked!)
Yes. Ours do. After harvest I give them the left over's and they are always enthusiastic and I love their eggs even more.
Q: What is the GST on the olive oil purchase?
The GST is for the postage
