<pre>Thought the group may be interested to see the latest in product
developments in infused oils appearing on supermarket shelves in
Australia. Apparently the products have been available in Australia
since 2002 .... but now they are available in your neighbourhood
supermarket (dare I mention the nationwide chain) .... I should have
checked the expiry dates :-).

I quote from the leaflet on the neck of the bottle:
"Borges, in collaboration with Ferran Adria, one of the world's most
innovative and "cutting-edge" chefs, present a new range of totally
natural and original olive oil dressings (without artificial
flavours, colours or preservatives) which can vary or intensify the
flavour of your favourite dishes."

For those of us who are not "au fait" with Ferran Adria, a starting point:

Pricing reflects the superstar image of Ferran Adria..... premium
pricing is a good description.

Aaah.... where are you Neil Perry .... perhaps what the superstar
Australian chef has done for Vittoria Coffee
(http://www.vittoriacoffee.com/content.php/1141.html ) can be the
inspiration for Australian olive oils .... particularly since he has
released his new cook book!

Who needs Ferran Adria when we have our own superstars......?

Cheers,
Lambros Karavis.
