Welcome back to Gooramadda Olives for Part B with Rob Whyte.
It starts at breakfast, with a quiet truth: once you use really good olive oil, the tomato sauce bottle doesn’t stand a chance.
We talk about the health benefits of quality olive oil, how the body can respond differently to things like ibuprofen, and why what you choose to cook with actually matters.
Rob shares practical tips for using olive oil every day, pairing olives with wine, and describing flavour without the pretension.
We also dig into awards — local, national and international — pest control, and the patience farming demands.
Because olives don’t do overnight success.
They’re in it for the long game.
