Blending the Issue at New Zealand SavantesBlending was the focus of attention from New Zealand olive oil producers who participated in the New Zealand Savantes series. Given a taste of a wide range of excellent extra virgin olive oils from the Mediterranean for comparison, making a different olive oil is the challenge. One trend in the New Zealand oils tasted was the availability of more delicate oils to fill that end of the market. However, even the more delicate oils were considerably more robust than the very delicate oils from Liguria (Italy), Catalunya (Spain), Provence (France) and Messinia (Greece). |

All Olive Oil is Better, Extra Virgin is the BestAs producers of extra virgin olive oil, it seems a convenient part of our marketing strategy to denigrate refined olive oils which are sold as ‘extra light’, or when blended with extra virgin olive oil as ‘pure’ olive oil. Consumers who buy these refined products are already using olive oil so ‘upgrading’ their purchasing behaviour to buying extra virgin makes sense. Refining plays an important part in any olive industry as it removes lampante olive oil from the market. Lampante olive oil is the classification for oils which have high free fatty acid or peroxide levels or have organoleptic faults such as rancidity. Apart from soap making or sale for biofuels there are few practical ways of stopping this oil from being sold as extra virgin. There are also consumers who do not like the strong flavours of extra virgin olive oil and are looking for a flavourless vegetable oil. Many of these are in the foodservice and manufacturing industries which require consistent and flavourless oil. With the push to sell olive oil into the countries where much of the cooking takes place at high temperatures, for example in a wok, the higher smoke point of refined olive oil (242°C ) over that of extra virgin olive oil (190°C to 210°C, depending on quality) is another selling point.
