Mike & Ellena Conway of Latah Creek Winery visit the Mirisolas in Sicily

(excerpt from their September, 2006 Newsletter, page 2) www.LatahCreek.com
"SALVATORE MIRISOLA ORGANIC EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
from Riesi, Sicily
This fabulous organic extra-virgin olive oil is made from 100% Mirisola high ridge estate-grown Nocellara-Etnea, Moresca, Coratine, Leccino and the pink-hued Biancolilla olives. Mike and I visited this grove and the Mirisola family when we were in Sicily this spring. We imported this marvelously intense, organic extra-virgin olive oil [through The Organic Olive Oil Company] in order to share it with you. The fruit is picked by hand early in the harvest, then crushed and pressed within 2 to 6 hours of picking. The result is absolutely pure, impeccably fresh, perfectly balanced true extra virgin organic olive oil full of flavors and aromas that speak of the land and people from which it came.
... You’ll love the flavor of this great olive oil. This is not the least expensive olive oil you’ll find, but it certainly will be the best you’ve ever tasted."

The Culinary Institute of America learns about our Olive Oils

August 10, 2006: Organic Olive Oil Company's Shelton Reichardt presented a seminar on organic olive oils to student chefs and instructors at The Culinary Institute of America / Greystone,  in Saint Helena, CA.

"Facilitated by Adam Busby (Director of Culinary Education) and Chef Ken Woytisek C.H.E., C.E.C. (Head Chef Instructor), Chef Ken Woytisek asked me to speak about organic extra virgin olive oils: production methods, positive and negative attributes of olive oils, & definitions of organic and extra virgin.

The setup was impressive -- a full academic theatre with a professional kitchen down in front! About 35 students and chef instructors took part, also tasting five of the oils carried by The Organic Olive Oil Company.

Lively questions and answers accompanied the tasting and post-class discussion, during which a number of students stayed to taste our other oils and chat. This was great fun!"
