Twenty Years of Olive Oil, 1997 to 2017

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Today’s the start of the new year and 2017 marks our twentieth anniversary in business here in York. Since the York Olive Oil Company was established in 1997 we’ve built our press to serve olive growers from across the state, branched out into jams and marmalades, ice cream, real wood-fired bread and a few other things. Along the journey we’ve won multiple awards for our olive oil, jams and ice cream, all made on the premises using traditional artisanal recipes and methods and always, always the very best ingredients. We never outsource production so we retain absolute control over the quality of our products.
Twenty years of hard work but there’s been a lot of fun, laughs and satisfaction along the way, and many good friends. Thanks to everyone for your business over the past two decades and we wonder what the next twenty years will bring?

Champion Ice Cream Again!

The results are out for the 2016 Perth Royal Dairy Show and the York Ice Cream Company’s Jarrah Honey ice cream has been awarded Champion Ice Cream! That’s Champion Ice Cream two years in a row. Our Espresso Ice Cream also won a Gold Medal, top in its class and every other entry won at least a Silver Medal.

We think our award-winning products are a little bit unique, so why not come out to York to try some. Springtime is a good time to visit as our Everlasting Daisies are flowering and putting on a fine display and the Flying Fox playground keeps on growing!

Olive Season, 2016

Mary the Ice Cream Monster would like to take a short break from devouring all our stocks of York Ice Cream (Nutella flavour in particular) to tell all olive growers that our press will be starting up after Easter to press the new season’s olive oil. We have started taking bookings from Wednesday 30 March onwards. As usual, you can either drop-off your olives and pick up your oil later or we can press them while you wait, in which case a booking is essential. Contact us to make a booking; (email is preferred as we can’t always get to the phone).

Mary Caught in the Act

And on the subject of York Ice Cream, we have just received the results of the DIAA (Dairy Association of Australia) WA Dairy Product Competition 2016. We entered seven flavours; six of them won silver medals and our Jarrah Honey Ice Cream won the gold medal! This is great news, especially following the Champion Ice Cream award at the 2015 Perth Royal Dairy Show. We must be doing something right! Actually, we know exactly what we are doing right, and it starts with the finest and freshest ingredients.
