<pre>Sorry John, my e-mail runneth over and sometimes I am not sure whether I
have replied to specific questions or not.

Alan Watt and myself are using an Oliomio 100 for our olive pressing and
those comments by Stan Kailis on temperature were most helpful. Thanks Stan.

This is our first season for using the Oliomio and help by anyone with
experience of using the machine would be appreciated. Any grower in the
region with olives to press, who may be 'lurking' on the discussion group,
could contact us with a view to pressing their olives.

Peter Caird, of Victorian Olive Groves (a free plug Peter) has helped with
his often amusing tangles with the machine and another source of information
on the Oliomio is Kent Hallett in South Australia.

I am about to head off to Jordan, Syria, Turkey and Cyprus in a couple of
weeks. Amongst other things I am planning to visit leading olive
grower/producers in each of those countries so if anyone has any specific
questions they would like answered, in the context of olive
growing/producing, I would be happy to do a little fact finding for you.

Jamal Sadoun, our discussion group mentor, has kindly contacted his
parents in Jordan in connection with my visit and I hope to find out from
them details of the Jordanian olive experience. Jamal told me that his
grandfather (1890-1967) started the olive business in Jordan.

Regards,

Phil Bramley
