Olio Bello

I can't wax lyrical enough about this place. :-)

A far too brief visit to Margaret River last March saw me, despite a threatening lack of time, make a point of visiting this wonderful business based on organic products, specifically olive oil based products.

I was not really sure what to expect, but as soon as I approached the counter a warm and helpful woman, who I later discovered was co-manager with her husband, explained the oils and products with excitement and passion. Who, these days, is passionate about what they do? Yes, some... but it's uncommon... and I was totally drawn by what Diane said, because it was clear it was not simply sales propaganda but what she genuinely felt, believed, loved.

There was a huge range of produce, ranging from savouries such as chutneys, tapanades and relishes, to salad dressings, to soaps and lotions, to the extensive range of olive oils themselves — and there is an olive oil there for every palate imaginable. I was in heaven, and only budget constrained me. By far my favourite purchase has been the Lime Pressed Olive Oil, which I now use all the time in salads or drizzled on rocket leaves. It's also fantastic with stir-fries and any other occasion where a light-flavoured oil is required. The ratio of lime is subtle but perfect. This is rapidly running out so thank goodness Olio Bello offers online shopping.
