Volgende week op Kokkedoor (spot the Prince Albert Olive Oil!)
Die oorblywende Kokkedoor-stryders het net-net begin mak raak, 'n bietjie rammetjie-uitnek selfs. Nie vir lank nie, want die Kokkedoor-slaghuis lewer wildsvleis op en beoordelaar Nic, 'n gesoute jagter, wys wat in 'n springbok se saaltjie steek. Jagters, met hul oog fyn ingestel op smaak, sit aan en die Karoo se eie Wildsvleiskoningin, Annetjie Reynolds, vel haar oordeel by die langtafel...

Harvest is here.
The first oil of 2013 is from the Favalosa varietal - green apples on the nose and full mouth feel with lovely peppery notes!

#ff
Prince Albert Olives is a new arrival in the social media and blogging world, so if you are too (how did you find us here?) let me start with some Twitter 101:
On the social network twitter people do #ff, "Follow Friday" - on Fridays you compose (a) tweet(s) with the hashtag (# symbol used to mark keywords or topics, to categorize) #ff and include the twitter handle (the username selected and accompanying URL, like so: http://twitter.com/paolives) of someone you follow you want to suggest for your followers (people who have selected to receive your tweets on their timeline) to follow.
Do you follow?
So for this Friday we tweeted:
Our first ever #FF (a #FEFF?) to @tenaciousdog thanks for our much praised and loved packaging ow.ly/iyUae
Tenacious Dogs are the guys who captured the charming Victorian characteristics of the town of Prince Albert in our packaging design, Jack Russell Design.
Feeling web-savvy so googled our packaging, on google images nogal!
Apparently miss Erica Craig, designer, Photographer, Stylist j'adored it.

Celebrity Endorsement
We thought we would brag a bit with some "celebrity endorsement"...
Musician and actor Lochner de Kock says this of our oil:
"Ek en my persentjie van Natasha. Dadelik getoets...........skoon, lieflike varsgesnyde gras en omgeploegde aarde geur en smaak."
"Me and my present from Natasha. Tested it immediately - clean, lovely fresh cut grass and ploughed earth nose and taste"

Live long and well (oiled).
TIME magazine's Health and Family segment reports on research to find the reason why the Mediterranean diet is a well-known weapon in the fight against heart disease.
Their findings were conclusive, Olive Oil is the trick:
"The group that showed the least heart problems and lowest rate of heart disease deaths? Those who ate a Mediterranean diet high in extra-virgin olive oil. Coming in at a close second were participants who ate a Mediterranean diet high in nuts. Compared with those eating the low-fat diet, the extra-virgin-olive-oil group showed a 30% lower risk of having a heart attack, stroke or dying of heart disease after five years, while those consuming the Mediterranean diet with more nuts showed a 28% lower risk of these outcomes."
We've always known this, now it has been proven!
