Live From Australia!

Hi Folks!

Leah and I are currently Down Under, specifically in Victoria, previewing, selecting, and purchasing your exquisite UP Certified Extra Virgin Olive Oils.  We're delighted to report that you will not be disappointed in this year's selections from Australia.  Beyond the fact that these oils were made exclusively for Veronica Foods this year based on our exacting UP specifications for production, they've already garnered several gold medals, best in classes, and best in shows.  Needless to say, we're extremely pleased with our quality and performance in the international arena as we continue to strive for next level of excellence.

Below are pictures of the actual trees on the estate where your oils were produced.  The groves are in superlative condition.  The fruit set and quality are staggering.  The next-level agricultural management demonstrated by our partners is a beacon and model in the world of olive oil production.  The natural pest management was a delight to behold as were all the positive environmental initiatives.  When necessary, the estates release predatory insects into the trees to mitigate any pests.  The soil is rich and loamy, rainfall has been adequate, temperatures are perfect, and mother nature is cooperating beautifully.

All aspects of the mill were meticulous and demonstrated the pinnacle cleanliness.  The floors gleamed and the machinery in the crushing plants sparkled.  These are magnificent operations and we are proud to be partnered with these estates.  These pictures are yours to share.  Be proud and loud.

Sincerely,

Rachel & Leah

Part of BBE's environmental initiative is to conserve energy.  They installed this furnace which generates energy to run their plant and uses 100% spent olive pit fuel while generating no emissions.  Brilliant!!!




Here's a mountain of spent olive pits!  These run the generator and are part of BBE's environmental initiative.

Lovely early harvest  straight from the decanter - fresh, green, amazing!

We observed wonderful fruit set and quality around the estate

This Coratina is AMAZING!

Beautiful loamy soil

Processing plant is immaculate. Sanitation is hugely important to the process of making excellent quality extra virgin olive oil.
