Editorial Reviews:
ChefShop.com is donating 5% of all Yellingbo revenues to the Jasmine Foundation for orphaned children. See below for details. Made in Australia by father-and-son team Howard and Jeremy Meltzer, Yellingbo is beautiful golden-green extra-virgin oil, a blend of four single estate-grown olive varietals. Its fragrant aroma offers mellow hints of sun-ripened fruit, and the palate is buttery-smooth, finishing with a subtle touch of pepper. And since it's from the southern hemisphere, where olives typically ripen April-June, this is the brand-new, just-bottled harvest! Yellingbo Gold limited edition is a carefully crafted blend of Manzanillo, Leccino, Picual and Corregiola olives. Every olive is hand-picked, and the oil is pressed in just four hours at a press only 100 meters from the groves. (Industry-wide, pressing within 24 hours of picking is considered good.)
About the Jasmine Foundation
Not only do we love Yellingbo on everything from crusty bread to ripe tomatoes, but it's also supporting a good cause. Five percent of profits from Yellingbo sales go to the Jasmine Foundation to support children orphaned in the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia. Jeremy is a director of this foundation. This 2007 harvest marks the Meltzers' third year selling their oil; production has doubled since the first year. The name Yellingbo is aboriginal, and the label on the slim, dark bottles - available also in a giftable 250-ml size - depicts a bright-colored bird in traditional dot painting style. The unusual bird is the Helmeted Honeyeater, a native endangered species that has found a sometime home in the Meltzers' olive groves.
