From a small family run estate, comes Yellingbo Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oil in casks, one of Australia’s most revolutionary and sought-after exports to the US market. Created by Howard and Jeremy Meltzer, from Three Bridges Olive Grove, this award-winning extra virgin olive oil is the first premium olive oil to be bulk packaged and sold in an innovative 100% airtight cask.
Yellingbo Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oil was the first and is now the largest selling gourmet Australian olive oil in the United States. As testament to this success, it now graces leading restaurants including Table Fifty-Two and Trump Plaza in Chicago, Le Cirque, Telepan and Public in New York, as well as the sets and kitchens of the celebrity chefs at the The Food Network.
Olive oil, when exposed to air and light, begins to turn rancid within days. The 100% recyclable Yellingbo Gold Cask is based on the concept of the iconic Australian wine cask. With an internal bladder, which collapses as the olive oil is used, the oil remains completely sealed from air and light, preventing oxidation and rancidity, offering extra virgin olive oil, on tap, fresh til the last drop!
When is a 500ml bottle ever enough? The Cask also offers tremendous value for lovers of fine olive oils. Available direct online, US families can now enjoy Yellingbo Gold in the 4L Cask, at chef’s wholesale prices. (The 4L Cask, $69.90 online, contains exactly the same Yellingbo Gold EVOO which, in bottles, 4L would cost $200).
Storing easily in any pantry, the cask also features a patented drip-proof variable flow tap, which eliminates leakage and the greasy layer of oil that eventually coats glass bottles and tins. The tap also allows for easy decanting into smaller bottles, if required.
What’s more, Yellingbo Gold Casks are kind to our environment – each cask is made of recycled materials and is fully recyclable. It folds flat when finished for safe and easy disposal, reducing waste and environmental impact, compared to a tin, by 95%. (Olive oil tins generally end up rusting as landfill).
Yellingbo Gold is a premium olive oil, far superior to many of its competitors. In late 2008, tests commissioned by the Australian Olive Association and broadcast by 60 Minutes, showed that a number of ‘European’ olive oils exported around the world and labelled ‘extra virgin’, did not meet internationally recognised standards. Much of the olive oil coming from Europe in fact contained blends of other oils, such as canola.
Estate grown using organic farming methods, hand-picked and cold-pressed within four hours of harvest, Yellingbo Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oils are a careful blend from Manzanillo, Leccino, Frantoio and Barnea olives. The new cask perfectly preserves the oil’s complex, buttery taste, with final hints of sweet apples, nuts and caramel.
The Yellingbo Gold Cask is the only bulk premium extra virgin olive oil available direct to families at chef’s wholesale prices, in casks, exclusively from www.yellingbo.com
Yellingbo Gold EVOO is also certified kosher, and five percent of the profits are donated to the Jasmine Foundation (www.jasminefoundation.org), a charity established by the Meltzer family, which assists children orphaned by the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami that devastated Southeast Asia – a tragedy Jeremy witnessed - to which he almost lost his sisters – after which he spent time working in relief camps.
Yellingbo Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oil Casks are a practical, economical and delicious culinary innovation for every US home.
