MEDIA RELEASE September 2005 SPRING INTO ACTION LAKELANDS OLIVES RELEASE 2005 HARVEST OILS It’s Spring, the traditional time for the release of new season Australian extra virgin olive oils. One of the first to appear on the market is the biodynamic organic certified Extra Virgin Lakelands Olives Frantoio 2005 from Clandulla near Rylstone in the Central Ranges of New South Wales. Proprietor Knut Kammann is passionate about the potential of his 220-hectare biodynamic organic 4000-tree olive grove which is planted on undulating high altitude slopes (700m) where the cool climate and short growing season is ideally suited to olive cultivation, especially to Tuscan origin varieties. The Lakelands Olives Frantoio 2005 is the flagship oil from the estate’s seventh harvest. It displays fresh grassy aromas with fragrant fruit notes and elegant olive fruit flavour on the palate, balanced by a gentle, lingering spicy finish. Lakelands Olives single variety EVOO oils have won three consecutive national Australian trophies, and are regarded as the country’s finest quality olive oils, rivalling the best in the world. 'Our olive oils have a special pungency and purity,’ claims Knut Kammann, who attributes these characters to the grove’s pristine location, and the rigorous organic and biodynamic cultivation methods. The 2005 Lakelands Olives harvest saw the commissioning of a state-of-the-art Alfa Laval Oliver 500 press and Australia’s first ever de-pitter machine, designed to remove the olive pits prior to processing. ‘The new processing line performed well and this year’s oils show enhanced flavour intensity, less bitterness and a finer balance,’ explains Knut. The Lakelands Olives EVOO Frantoio 2005 is available from selected stockists nationally in 250ml gift-boxed bottles, RRP $18 |
