This evening I discovered to my horror that I am half way through my last bottle of Douro Olive Oil

I thought I had a six-pack in a cupboard but it turned out to be an empty box.

AHB has kindly offered to attempt to organise a bulk purchase for the team if there is sufficient interest.

Please post here if you are interested and perhaps AHB could make tentative enquiries about prices?

Interested.

Holy crap. We're so connected. We're vibing.

This morning, I was just grabbing one of my last bottles, and thought, "Uh oh. Must enquire with Alex about acquiring more of these!"

Yes please, can I have some more? Two dozen would be wonderful, please.

Thank you!

We ran out last month (although there is supposed to be a small amount somewhere I have yet to lay my hands on, if it is still there).
Either way I will be interested again also, please.

I have never managed to lay my hands on any. But I had dinner with DROJW tonight and she said she had tasted an attractive Taylors one this week.

What style are you interested in? More 'herbaceous'/'green', more mature....

Yes please. A dozen if possible.

Yea please, two dozen.

If it's possible to get a couple of bottles that would be great, thanks!

Couple of bottles if possible would be appreciated.

Six please.

It’s still there. We just need to be in London at the same time…

We have the potential for a multiple dozens order, which is hereby declared "sufficient interest".

Could AHB please do his thing? Thank you.

AHB is on it.

I would want some too. When will the next shipment of Quinta do Noval's olive oil come through?

I would be interested in 6 bottles please. Thank you.

If the order isn't set yet, could I up this to 4 bottles please?

Six ditto

There are two varieties of Noval olive oil available - there is now a special edition centenario as well as the standard blend. I must confess my reaction to the news was a little cynical, I speculated if the special edition was made from olives grown on trees with original rootstocks and not grafted. I must learn not to be so cynical.

However, the good news is that there is plenty of the normal olive oil available to us. If people let me know below or privately how many bottles they would like @ £10 per 50cl, I will place an order. Your interest above on this thread was speculative. Your interest below is a firm commitment which will lead to a request for cash in the next week or two.

Let me know too if you'd like any of the centinario edition @ £20 per 50cl. If there is interest and we can, between us, get a multiple of 6 bottles, I'll also order some of those.

I would like 4 bottles of the bog standard stuff please!

May I have 2 bottle of the normal stuff oil please?

A dozen bottles of the normal oil please, and also a bottle of the Centinario if there is enough interest. "strict selection of the very finest olive oil from Quinta do Noval, produced from ancient trees with very low yields". Interesting. "we found it so exceptional that we decided to bottle it separately". Hmmm. I'm also a little cynical, their normal oil is already exceptional, but perhaps it is even better. Anyway, I'm now curious enough to do a tasting and find out haha. Thanks.

Two bottles of regular please.

Just the 6 standard bottles please.

Six of the standard please, and, if a group order is made of the super-premium one, a single bottle of that.

Would like a dozen please.

Two dozen please. And one of the pokey ones.

2 bottles of the standard if possible please.

Two dozen £10s please.

And six of the fancy schmancy £20s.

One dozen for me please

6 bts of the 10£s and 2 bts of the 20£s if possible please.

This has turned into rather a large order for 20 6-packs of the regular olive oil and 2 6-packs of the fancy-schmancy oil.

I can have them delivered to my house, but people will have to arrange to collect them from me or be willing to allow me to bring them into London for tastings a few bottles at a time.

Very happy to wait until a convenient time for collection/meeting up.

I'm happy for either, but I'm close enough that picking them up makes more sense than you carting mine into town.

Pray tell?

Can I baggsie some, please?

Oops. I missed that. Yes please to a six pack of the fancy stuff if possible, plus two six packs of the standard.

Good news. The olive oil arrived this morning.

Slightly less good news, I have now been invoiced for the oil. Please could those of you requesting bottles:
(a) transfer the money to my account at the rate of £10 per bottle of ordinary and £20 per bottle of Centenario and let me know you have done so;
(b) let me know if you would like to collect your oil from my house or whether you are happy for me to bring it in to London a few bottles at a time to be handed over at TPF tastings; or
(c) if you have kindly volunteered to help at the BFT whether you would like to collect your oil that day

Many thanks!

Phil, Wolfgang,

I can bring some or all of your olive oil with me when I see you next, but then you will have to carry it home with you. Let me know if you want all, some or none of the bottles you've ordered when we get together.
