<pre>Hi

Following the e-mail I sent on Monday about Testing To IOOC International
Trade Standard for New Season EVOO Top Twenty, a few people have contacted
us about the testing.

The most cost-effective and fastest turnaround for organoleptic and chemical
testing that has been found by Olive Business is by Chemiservice in Italy,
who require 500ml of olive oil. Oils can be couriered, but we have found
that oils posted by air mail get to Europe in around 6 days, and it is far
cheaper. Turnaround for testing is 48 hours.

The Chemiservice price list is available on the website
(http://www.olivebusiness.com/newseas...oc_testing.htm).

If you would like to discuss your options for testing please email
salsi@...

Please contact me on +61 3 9387 9919 for any more information,

Best wishes
Michael Field
