I have received some useful information regarding olive investment
projects around Australia.

I am also interested in getting information on

¥ Olive Mills - all sizes

I need names, addresses and phone numbers. The name and state would be
enough.

Can anyone help?

<pre>Hello All,

Bouteillan - (Boutillan)
oil variety
French Languedoc
good adaptation to irrigation
high wield in oil
demands frequent light pruning

Lucques - (Lecqure)
Table variety used exclusively for the production of green table olives
French Languedoc
demanding in soil, irrigation and cultural practices

Verdial - (Verdale)
This are a group of varieties with their origin in the southwestern
part of the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal’s Beira Baixa and Alentejo; and
Spain’s Extremadura and Andalucia).
They produce big fruits that can be used has table olives or for oil
production producing a high wield of good quality oil. In general,
these are rustic varieties that have a high tendency to alternate
production.

The other two I am unable to identify them, by their names I would say
that their booth Italian varieties (Arezzo and Lucca are two cities of
Tuscany). If I am able to figure out what they are I will let you know.

Regards,

Joao Correia
