Meet Our Nose and Palette
Rachel has been blending with us for the past 7 years and is an expert in her field. She is a regular attendee at the International Professional Olive Tasting and Blending Programme in Australia, known as Savantes.
Her tutor at Savantes is international taste and flavour expert, Judy Ridgway. Under Judy's tutelage Rachel has learnt to understand and recognise the taste and flavour characteristics in Extra Virgin Olive Oil and enhanced her own 'memory bank' regarding aroma.
There are 4 components in Extra Virgin Olive Oil which give complexity to its flavour and aroma. These are freshness, fruitiness, bitterness and pepper. All olive cultivars grown anywhere in the world encapsulate distinctive flavours in their olive fruit and within each growing season the characteristics in the oil will vary.
Each season Rachel uses her acquired skills and knowledge to achieve a consistency of aroma and flavours in the ōriwa Extra Virgin Olive Oil blends.
Rachel's involvement in the Savantes programme and her participation as a member of the Olives NZ Sensory Panel has given her the expertise to create a rich, complex and irresistible blend of ōriwa Extra Virgin Olive Oil year on year.
