<pre>According to an article in the Electronic Telegraph
(www.telegraph.co.uk) on March 7, 2000, a South African olive oil
produced at Morgenster Estate by retired Italian businessman Giulio
Bertrand has won Italy's "coveted L'Orcioli d'Oro" against competition
from Italy's finest oils.

Interesting stuff. Any Aussies entered this competition? Can Marco

<pre>Victorian Olive Groves has entered the Golden Lion For Master Oil Producers
competition to be held in Verona 16-18 March this year. This is held in
conjunction with the Salon Internationale Dell'Olio (International
Exhibition of Olive Oil) at the same time.

Interestingly, the competition does not permit direct comparison with
Italian oils as it is divided between Italian Oils and International
competitors.

Unfortunately, the oil I have for exhibition is now nearly 8 months old and
there have been complications in getting the oil over there. The upshot is
that it may not be exhibited.
