Temecula Olive Oil Company celebrates olive harvest
November 4th 2011

Cheers! Guests enjoyed samples of flavored olive oils like citrus, vanilla and basil.	Louise and Tony Bevilacqua from Victorville stopped by the Olive Oil Press event while spending the weekend at Europa Village.	Thom Curry, General Manager of Temecula Olive Oil Inc., shows the machines used to press the freshly picked olives.	Thom Curry pours a sample of fresh olive oil. “You can’t get fresher olive oil than this,” said Thom. The olive oil had a peppery taste to it which Thom said was created by antioxidants.
Plates of freshly pressed olive oil paste are stacked on stainless steel plates while the oil and water drip down into tubes where the water and oil separate.	An old world style window view of the olive groves just steps away from the Olive Oil tasting bar.	Bar tenders at the Olive Oil tasting bar were loaded with lots of cooking ideas with all of the olive oil and balsamic flavors blends.
