 11th GOLDEN OLIVE AWARDS Olive Producers of North East Victoria, (OPNEV) takes great pleasure in inviting you and your olive business to participate in the 11th Australian Golden Olive Awards. The Australian Golden Olive Awards was one of the earliest shows in Australia. OPNEV, whilst being a regional association, is keen to promote olive products Australia-wide for the mutual benefit of all industry stakeholders, whether they be large companies or the smaller family business. We believe it is important to encourage the continuing development of olive products across our continent and to provide a vehicle whereby the best in our industry are given due acknowledgement and public profile. This prestigious competition for Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Table Fruit will allow participants from all over Australia to benchmark their products against the very best. A low cost show, held in high regard by the industry, the Australian Golden Olive Awards also provides Free Fatty Acid and Peroxide testing on your oil and microbiological tests on your table olives from fully accredited laboratories, with results provided to you. The tests on your oil allow you to seek accreditation from the AOA for their Australian EVOO logo. How do you become involved ?

The 11th Australian Golden Olives Awards culminates in the Celebration Dinner, to be held at the Pickled Sisters at Cofield Winery in Wahgunyah, North East Victoria on Saturday 11 September 2010. This is a fun night and features the finest food and wine of North East Victoria. There will be entertainment and the presentation of awards and trophies. Accommodation bookings can be made through the Wine Experience at Rutherglen, phone 1800 622 871. Olive producers, like all others engaged in agricultural pursuits have seen varied conditions this year across our region, certainly the rain has fallen a little more and the feedback coming in from the 2010 harvest is extremely encouraging. I encourage you to participate in this exciting competition and benchmark your products against the best in the land. I look forward to catching up in Rutherglen and Wahgunyah.
