Secrets of a good olive oil

Ever wondered what makes a good or bad olive oil and how show judges go about assessing its flavour and flaws? Olives SA is offering a course at the Adelaide Showground this Saturday which will not only provide the answers, but also a chance to taste some of the state’s best extra virgin olive oil, including the fruits of this year’s harvest. With the industry building up to the annual olive oil competition in October, the course is aimed at show judges seeking to refresh their palates and those interested in becoming judges, as well as foodies who simply want to learn more about the product.
