<pre>Hi everyone.

Olive Business (Salsi Pty Ltd) has launched Table Olive Savantes in
Melbourne (Australia). Building on the success of the international Extra
Virgin Olive Oil Savantes programme, this initiative will provide much
needed support for the new Australian and New Zealand commercial table olive
industries.

The most important element of the Savantes approach is to provide
participants with the ability to assess their products in the culinary
context and keep up to date with the changing trends and requirements of the
marketplace. They can then adjust their production, processing or purchasing
accordingly.

The international Savantes network is expanding rapidly and now covers four
continents. It includes consumers, executive chefs, olive oil retailers,
table olive retailers, food retailers, distributors, importers, consultants,
government, processors and large and small scale producers.

Learning continues between formal courses through online discussion groups
and organised tastings. The first three-day Table Olive Savantes Qualifier
Course will be run in Melbourne on 18-20 November 2002.

For more information about both Table Olive Savantes and Extra Virgin Olive
Oil Savantes, please visit www.savantes.com/savantes.

Best wishes,
Michael
