Eliunt olive oil tasting

In ancient Italian Etruscan culture, the “Eliunts” were considered by most to be the best producers of olive oil. They were using farming techniques passed down by their forefathers and they were highly skilled in their craft. Top notch olive oil is now being produced all over the globe including some stunning examples right here in Australia. Like a fine wine, the flavour of an olive oil is heavily informed by the terroir (the geography, geography & climate of a place) and also by the harvesting process meaning oils can take on a range of characteristics. Some are bright and fruity, some have slightly bitter characteristics and some will have grassy or citrusy notes.
