Old Village Olive Oil

Our Price

The economy is on the mend.  Well that is what the experts keep telling us.  Then again these are the same experts that told us the Canadian economy was in good shape in September 2008.  Regardless here at Old Village Olive Oil we have not raised our prices since we started in 2006.  We know how hard it is to purchase food that is both good for you, and respects the earth it comes from.  That is why we will continue to keep our prices the same during this time.

Thank You

We had another successful demo at the Healthy Butcher (Eglinton) last Saturday.  I would like to thank the entire staff for all their help.  I would also like to thank all the customers that stopped to talk, sample and ask questions about the best tasting Extra Virgin Olive Oil on the market.

This Saturday

Please join us at the Healthy Butcher (at the Eglinton location) this Saturday. Come and taste one of the most delicious extra virgin olive oils on the market.

 

Don’t forget to send us your recipes.  We are compiling them and will publish them soon on this blog.

2009 Crop up date

A quick note about this years crop.  We had a hot and dry summer this year, making for beautiful olives.  Rich in flavor and fat with oil.  We did receive rain this month which will supply our trees with badly needed water.  Looks like an excellent crop. 

 

Our demo went very well last Saturday.  We had a lot of good feedback and everyone who tasted our oil loved it.  One concern has to do with our clear bottles.  We are looking at changing our bottles to a dark bottles as our bottle inventory runs out.

The Fall!

OH NO its time go back to school.  The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder.  Here at Old Village Olive Oil we are gearing up for a fantastic “eating season”.  Thanksgiving, Christmas and all those great dinner parties in between are coming up.  Now enjoy the last long weekend of the summer, and lets all raise a glass to the fall.  This year’s olive oil is delicious, and we can't wait to share it with you. 

Another Successful Demo

Another successful demo at the Healthy Butcher.  I’d like to thank all that tasted our terrific olive oil yesterday.

 

There were a lot of concern about the most recent fires in Greece.  It looks like they are under control for now.  Fortunately, the worst of the fires were well north of us.  

Our Demo

We would like to thank the staff at The Healthy Butcher for the last two weekends where we had two demos.

This Years Harvest

It has been two months since we harvested our 2008 olives.  The yield was not as down from previous years, but the quality of the Olive Oil is fantastic.  Our next shipment is on its way.  All our hard work has certainly paid off.  We have received a lot of great feed back from our customers on the quality of our oil.  This year will not disappoint.   

Let it Rain

The family spent a lovely three weeks in the village.  We spent the better half of August and a little bit of September in the village.  We had a great time.  We got to spend some valuable time with my parents and our little daughter was able to see her grandparents.  My sister and her daughter also joined us making for a very festive and family oriented time.

 

Our time was also spent helping in the pruning of our olive trees.  The harvest looks great this year.  There was a scare for a while as the village had not received any rain for well over three months.  The lack of rain is a blessing and a curse.  Aired conditions concentrates the oil making it a delicious tasting oil with very little acidity.  Unfortunately, the aired conditions can harm the trees if it persists.  Luckily mid way through September it did rain.
