York Olive Oil Co. -

This year’s Perth Royal Show is coming up soon and the results of the various competitions are being announced. The big news (for us, at least) is in the Perth Royal Dairy Show; we entered thirteen different ice creams and all thirteen won medals. And the biggest news of all, our Jarrah Honey Ice Cream won a Gold Medal and was awarded the trophy for Best in Show Champion Ice Cream. We are really chuffed that the care and attention we put into crafting our ice creams has been identified and awarded by the judges. No need to go to the Royal Show to try our ice cream; it’s available from our factory shop all year round.

Meanwhile, in this year’s Perth Royal Olives Show our Extra Virgin and Lemon Infused olive oils both won medals. In addition, oils produced at our press for other growers won a haul of eleven medals including four Silver and a Gold. So congratulations to all the medal winners including Renny & Fee Lee-Steere (Hawthornden), John & Kay Leevers (Hampton Estate), Don & Moira McKinley (Moore Park), Nick Tolcon and, not least, the Gold Medal winners, Pat & Lin Turner of Woondowing Creek. If you are in Australia looking for Extra Virgin Olive Oil always remember that a fresh oil made in Australia will always beat any cheap import lurking on the supermarket shelf.
