I'm ordering some (new harvest) olive oil which should arrive in the UK in January. I'm ordering 48 x 50cl bottles. Cost is approximately £10 per bottle.

I'm happy to share (or happy to keep them all!). If anyone would like any, please say so here.
  • AHB - 30 bottles
  • CMAG - 12 bottles
  • PW - 6 bottles

Assuming this is the same as discussed at the Calem tasting, then yes please to 6 for me.

It is the same. Most people asked me to reconfirm after the Calem tasting - something about not remembering too clearly after a bottle and a half of port.

I don't remember that. :wink:

Enjoyed the two bottles we bought from you a few years back (a suspicious looking exchange at Waterloo Station). A bit grassy, but that only required discretion in its application.

I agree with you about the grassy tone, but I've learnt to like the green note and find it adds to certain salads and other cooking. You need to know it's there, but once you can use it to adds a dimension that other oils lack.
