    Olive oil brand Moro launches Eco Bottle made from recycled material

    Moro, Australia’s number one brand of olive oil*, has expanded its olive oil and vinegar ranges with the launch of four new products.
    The new flavours to market include:

    • Moro Intenso Extra Virgin Olive Oil;
    • Moro Sherry Vinegar;
    • Moro Unfiltered and Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with the ‘Mother’ and
    • Moro Gourmet Chilli Glaze with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.

    Marketing and Innovations Manager at Moro, Nicolett Butchard, said these products were developed in response to the growing consumer trend towards inspired home cooking.

    “The ongoing trend towards home cooking and creating a meal experience, is leading consumers to increasingly want to discover new flavours and experiment with easy and new ways to add depth of flavour to meals,” Nicolett said.

    “As a category leader, Moro puts great importance on the early identification of cooking and flavour trends, a must when striving to provide accessible, quality and authentic flavours that appeal to consumers”.

    “We can’t wait to hear how consumers find the newest additions to their cooking,” Nicolett said.

    New innovations: 
    Moro Intenso is the most robust and peppery Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the Moro range and was developed in response to consumers’ growing appreciation for different flavours of extra virgin olive oil.

    Moro’s Sherry Vinegar is produced in the Jerez region of Spain and aged for six months in oak barrels . A deep and complex flavour which is ideal for simply enhancing salad dressings or marinades but versatile enough for use in stews, soups and sauces.

    Moro’s Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is unfiltered and retains ‘The Mother’ which is linked to health benefits such as improved digestion and cholesterol management. Made with the finest Italian apples, this versatile vinegar will add a hint of fruit flavour to dressings, marinades and sauces.

    Moro’s Gourmet Chilli Glaze is a deliciously thick consistency made with Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and Italian chillies. Brush over meats prior to cooking or drizzle over salads for an easy way to add some warmth and bite to dishes.

  • Olive oil maker Cobram Estate introduces subscription model

    Olive oil maker Cobram Estate introduces subscription model

    The olive harvesters at Cobram Estate are working around the clock at Boort and Boundary Bend to bring in this year’s crop. Each day half a billion olives are picked.

    For the past 15 years a machine called Colossus has been getting the job done, but a new harvester called Optimus has joined the team, and it is tipped to be faster and more efficient.

    Both machines operate in a similar way, straddling the olive tree, before the fingers on their rotating picking heads comb the olives off the branches.

    Cobram Estate’s joint chief executive Leandro Ravetti says Optimus has six picking heads compared to Colossus’s two.

    “That gives you more flexibility but at the same time, more intensity in the action, allowing you to go faster,” he said.

    There are two Optimus harvesters at Boort this season, but Mr Ravetti thinks that number will increase in the coming years, as 40 percent of the company’s trees is still to reach maturity.

    “We need new harvesters to cope with them, but also our Colossus is an ageing group of machines and we’re looking at phasing them out and as they need replacement,” Mr Ravetti said.

    “Rather than buying a new Colossus, we’ll probably be looking at buying more new Optimus and gradually making the overall process a lot more efficient.”

    Mr Ravetti says introducing the Optimus harvester, designed in Argentina, should mean that the company’s need for seasonal workers will remain stable, even as more trees reach maturity.

    Roughly half of Cobram Estate’s olives are grown at Boundary Bend and Mr Ravetti says the new machines will eventually make their way to the groves further north.

    “Boort has the largest amount of younger trees, so naturally, the growth of harvest was going to happen here,” he said.

    “So hopefully by the time that all the machines at Boort are Optimus, the machine is going to be really well designed and very reliable.

    “That will be the time to start replacing the machines at Boundary Bend.”
