Share in the fruit of over 100 olive oil producers’ labors
T
he 13th Annual Olive Oil Festival will once again take over the Downtown City Park, albeit a little earlier than in year’s past. But don’t you worry there will still be plenty to see and taste from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 4. In year’s past the festival was held in August, but it was moved to June this year to allow for a better experience for the oil producers and attendees. Summer heat in Paso Robles is not so kind to olive oil and taster’s palates. Visitors will have the opportunity to taste the diversity in each drop of oil influenced by the micro-climates that exist in Paso Robles and the surrounding areas. More than 100 vendors are expected to be set up in the park as more than 2,000 visitors descend on downtown Paso Robles for the annual day-long festival hosted by the Paso Robles Downtown Main Street Association. As with many Paso Robles Downtown Main Street Association events, the Paso Robles Olive Oil Festival is family friendly and Main Street Director Norma Moye says that they aim to keep it that way. “It’s a wonderful day. Bring the family. We will have things for kids to do,” Moye said. “You will learn all about olive oil. Make some friends and enjoy another great aspect of the
Paso Robles community.” The event begins with a blessing of the Olive Festival, which is fitting because missionaries are credited with bringing the first olive trees to California. Along with the tried and true crowd-pleasers like free olive oil ice cream, there will be olive oil tasting and food demonstrations. For those who haven’t experienced 100 percent virgin olive oil by United States standards, arguably much different and better than its European counterpart that adheres to less stringent standards — they’re in for a real treat. The festival will feature a locally made “mill on wheels” amongst the large variety of vendors ranging from producers to artisans and caterers. Whether made into jams

or ice cream, sprinkled on sweet desserts or mixed with fruit extracts for baking, there’s plenty to see — and taste — at this year’s festival. Olive fun for the adults includes olive oil tasting, wine tasting, head-tohead chef competition, beer tasting, art galleries, olive tasting, cooking contest, recipes, gourmet food vendors, olive trees and garden items. Festivalgoers are encouraged to check out downtown’s variety of boutiques, restaurants, clothing and apparel stores, wine tasting rooms and much more that will be catering the olive enthralled visitors. Participants will taste an array of fabulous Central Coast extra virgin olive oils in combination with selections from the bounty of local farms. A
cooking demonstration, olive oil tasting and food pairings are guaranteed to demystify this wonderful ingredient. To sign up for the event that is open to all ages, visit centralcoastolivegrowers.org or call (650) 245-9279. Cost is $45. A pre-festival social mixer will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. June 3 at the Allegretto Vineyard Resort by Ayres, 2700 Buena Vista Dr., Paso Robles. Cost is $25 per person. The mixer features local wines, an olive tasting bar and olive-inspired samples. The festival main event is free and open to the public with wine and beer tasting tickets at $15 per person. Entry forms for the cooking contest are available online at pasoroblesolivefestival.com.

Olive Festival Artists Hellie Blythe LOCAL ARTIST
Hellie Blythe spent all of her childhood, teen years, and adulthood creating things two and three dimensional, and has sauntered into the forth dimension to write several books. Hellie is the youngest of three children raised by their parents on a farm and at the ocean during World War II. Her education was long, serious, and excellent, encompassing arts, math, history, language, philosophy, agronomy, trapeze work, boat handling, cartography, hunting, shooting, stalking and fishing. She is aquainted with metal-working, glass torchwork, glass blowing, and can play “Happy Birthday” in Japanese on the violin. She recently retired from set and scene painting for Pioneer Players’ stage productions. Swinging from and dangling on ladders is precarious for old bones. Every year Hellie travels to Limoux, France to study art. Hellie’s most serious dilemma is a lack of time to accomplish everything she would like to create. There are never less than 6 paintings in various stages of development haunting her studio. Hellie and her husband Hye have been married over 60 years. 50+ have been spent here near Paso Robles, raising their own 4 children, 4 grandchildren, and one great grandson.
Laure F. Carlisle LOCAL ARTIST

She often says “I don’t know what drives me to create but I do know that if I am not creating something then I am not a happy person! Creating is as much a part of me as breathing!”

Olive Oil Tasting People’s Choice Tasting Extra Virgin Olive Oil
E
xtra Virgin Olive Oil is the best of the best. It’s high in heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids and full of antioxidants in the form of polyphenols to bolster a healthy life style. A shot of EVOO a day is good for the body. It’s also a food enhancer. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on pretty much anything and it will enhance the flavor of that food. But what is Extra Virgin? Aren’t all cold pressed olive oils extra virgin? The answer to that question is NO and here’s why. It takes more than cold pressing an olive for it to become extra virgin. The olive has to be in good condition and fresh. The mill has to be clean. The olive oil has to be stored properly throughout its journey to your kitchen. It needs to settle so that the sediment can be removed for storage and before bottling. It needs to meet certain chemical criteria established by USDA. In California, we’ve adopted even more stringent criteria for certifying extra virgin olive oil through the California Olive Oil Council. In addition to all of that, it has to pass a sensory evaluation for flavor and smell. There are only three positive sensory attributes of extra virgin olive oil: Fruity – Perceived either through the front of the nose by smelling or retro-nasally through the back of the nose when tasting. The oil should smell and taste olive fruity. Bitter – This taste sensation occurs ½ to ¾ back on the tongue. An EVOO with a high polyphenol (a naturally occurring antioxidant within olives that help preserve
14
flavor and freshness of the oil) content will be more bitter. Pungent – “Picante” or a biting tactile sensation in the back of the throat. An extra virgin olive oil has to be fruity. It does not have to be bitter or pungent, although most have some bitterness and pungency. An extra virgin olive oil cannot be defective at all. There are many defects, but the most common are: Fusty - Characteristic flavor of oil extracted from olives that have been stored in fermenting piles and have undergone an advanced stage of anaerobic fermentation. Musty – Moldy flavor from olives that have been stored too long
PASO ROBLES OLIVE FESTIVAL GUIDE – JUNE 2016
before processing. Rancid – Old oils which have started oxidizing due to exposure to light or air, they will have a very high peroxide level. Let’s explore how to taste olive oil. To really get the flavors of olive oil you don’t want to taste it with bread. Just taste the olive oil. Pour some into a plastic cup or a wine glass. Take the cup of oil and place it in the palm of one hand and place the other over the top. Now gently warm it by rubbing your hand around the cup to coax the oil to release its aroma. After about 30 seconds take your hand off the top and put the cup to your nose and
inhale the aroma, the oil should smell fresh and olive fruity. Next slurp some oil into your mouth and make a smacking sound to get oxygen into your mouth as you move it around. You’ll be able to pick up some of the bitterness of the olive oil by doing this. The flavor may be described as grassy, tomato leaf, or artichoke. When you swallow it, you should be able to pick up whether there is any pungency or pepper. Once you have tasted the olive oil, it should evacuate your mouth cleanly and it shouldn’t leave a heavy oily feeling. That’s another sign that the olive oil is fresh. Make a log of the tastes you experience, list the producer, olive cultivar, and any differences good and bad. Remember; go with the olive oil that tastes good to you. Listen and ask questions when tasting a producer’s olive oil.

Olive Facts A staple of Mediterranean cuisines, olives are most often eaten out of hand, though cooks also use them to flavor everything from pizzas to martinis. Raw olives must be cured before they can be eaten, and the curing medium--usually lye, brine, or salt--affects their flavor and texture. So too does the olive’s degree of ripeness when it’s picked. Green olives are picked while unripe, which makes them denser and more bitter than brown or black olives, which stay on the tree until fully ripened. Olives become bitter if they’re cooked too long, so always add them to hot dishes at the last minute. Here’s a small representation of the many olive varieties throughout the world:
Mission Olive
Arbequina Olive
These are the common black ones that are ubiquitous in supermarkets, pizza parlors, and salad bars. Substitutes: Kalamatas (more flavorful)
These are tiny green Spanish olives with a mild, smoky flavor. They’re hard to find in the U.S. Substitutes: Manzanilla olives (much larger)
Nafplion Olive
Cerignola Olive
These are green, brine-cured Greek olives. They’re somewhat salty. Substitutes: Greek green olives. AKA: Nafphlion, Nafpelion, Naphlion
These Italian olives are very large and have a sweet flavor. Black Cerignolas are softer than green Cerignolas. AKA: Bella di Cerignola
Nicoise Olive
Kalamata Olive
Pronunciation: nee-SWAHZ Notes: A key ingredient in Salade Niçoise, these small purplish-black olives have a distinctive sour flavor. Substitutes: Kalamata (works well in a tapenade) or Gaeta (also works well in a tapenade) AKA: Niçoise olive
You can find these popular Greek black olives in most large supermarkets. They’re salty and very flavorful. Substitutes: Gaeta olive, smaller than a Kalamata; or Amphissa
Sicilian Olive
Manzanilla Olive These green olives are available in most supermarkets. They’re often pitted and stuffed with pimento or garlic. These are the olives that are often put into martinis. Substitutes: Caper berries (These are also used to garnish martinis.)

Olive Facts GROWTH HABITS The olive is a hearty evergreen tree with gray-green leaves and small white fragrant flowers in the spring. A young olive tree has smooth gray bark, but as it gets older it gets very gnarled. They have a long life expectancy of well over a hundred years, sometimes thousands, and a grove can be rehabilitated from a period of long neglect. A mature tree can reach a height of 30 feet. They have small leaves with a protective coating and hairy undersides that slows transpiration, enabling them to survive in a hot and dry climate. An olive tree tends to grow dense, thin branches. To produce more fruit, the tree is pruned heavily. They begin to bear fruit between 4 and 8 years old. CLIMATE & SOILS Olive trees thrive in mild winters and dry summer subtropical climates, characterized as a Mediterranean climate. They can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, preferring a neutral to alkaline soil. Well-drained, sandy loams are an excellent soil texture for olive trees, as they are moderately tolerant of drought and flooded conditions are deadly. Southern exposures produce better yields and protect from frost. Olive trees can accommodate steep inclines or terraces, the limiting factor being the feasibility of harvesting. PROPAGATION Worldwide, rooting of cuttings is the most popular method of olive propagation. Due to the ease of rooting, most olives are grown on their own roots, from cuttings, suckers, or ovuli. Traditional olive groves are usually comprised of large trees, scattered at irregular distances from each other, as a result of tree mortality or grafting/rooting to fill in empty spots. More intensive orchards are typically planted at higher densities in organized rows. Olives naturally form large shrubs, with spreading canopies similar to citrus trees. Young trees may be headed to promote initial branching, and shoots below 2.5 to 3’ are removed to allow for mechanical harvest. Pruning cuts are designed to open the canopies to light, increasing the depth of canopy involved in fruiting and discouraging insects. HARVEST Most table olives are harvested when they change from green to yellowish-green in color and are firm; this is usually mid-autumn. Oil olives are harvested in late autumn or winter,when the grower feels the ratio of green olive to black is right for his blend of olive oil. As the oil content increases, the olives change color from green to violet to nearly black. Green olives are harvested first. Olives can be hand picked, gathered with a special wooden rake-like tool, brought down by hitting the branches with long poles, or by mechanical means. Traditional hand harvesting is a process that is not only tedious and laborious, but represents the major proportion of the costs of production. Table olives are cleaned and transported to processing plants, where growers are paid based on fruit size, color, and total weight. The fruit are washed and may be stored temporarily before processing. Oil olives are brought to mills where they are crushed whole. OLIVE OIL PROCESSING After picking, the olives must be processed in less than 24 hours to avoid oxidation. The period is short enough to prevent fermentation but enough to allow the olives to release their oil easily. The milled olives travel to vats in which slowly turning blades mash the olives into a homogenized paste, from which the oil is extracted. The term cold-pressing refers to the fact that the oil is extracted without heating the paste, furthering insuring the purity of the oil. The oil is extracted from the paste through a centrifuge. It separates the vegetable water and the olive pumice from the oil. This is the oil that receives the appellation of “extra-virgin” olive oil. Originally, the oil and water mixture was stored in vats until the oil rose to the top and was skimmed off. Today, the separation is accomplished by pumping the mixture into a centrifuge, which forces them apart and into separate receptacles. OLIVE OIL PACKAGING & LABELING The oil is stored in stainless steel tanks or food-grade plastic totes and drums. It must be racked to eliminate the natural sediment at the bottom of the tanks that could ferment and cause defects in the oil. For bottling, dark-tinted bottles or cans are preferred to keep out light and prevent oxidation. Look for an olive oil that is labeled with the date that the olive oil was harvested and where the olives were grown. Olive oil is a fruit juice that has natural preservatives, but it does have a shelf life. Use olive oils from the current harvest season to ensure freshness. Depending on how the olives were originally handled, stored, and bottled they may be used for up to 2 years after harvest and still meet the criteria for extra virgin olive oils.

Olive Facts
COOKING WITH OLIVE OIL (From Olive Oil, from Tree to Table, Peggy Knickerbocker, 1997)
BAKING WITH OLIVE OIL FRYING WITH OLIVE OIL The use of olive oil in baking dramatically cuts the cholesterol and saturated-fat content of a sweet or bread. It produces lighter tasting baked goods and allows the flavor of the other ingredients to shine. You need less olive oil than other fats in baking. Use the following conversion chart as a general guide for adapting recipes. BUTTER 1 teaspoon 1 tablespoon 2 tablespoons ¼ cup 1/3 cup ½ cup 2/3 cup ¾ cup 1 cup
OLIVE OIL ¾ teaspoon 2 ¼ teaspoons 1 ½ tablespoons 3 tablespoons ¼ cup ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons ½ cup ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon ¾ cup
• Use a deep-fat fryer with the thermostat set to 350 to 365 degrees F, or clip a thermometer onto the side of a non-electric pan. • Make sure you fry in oil at least 2 ½ inches deep and heat the oil slowly. • Do not add to many pieces of food to the oil at once, or the temperature of the oil will drop and you won’t get crispy, golden brown results. • If more oil is needed, add it to the hot oil and wait for the temperature to return to the original temperature before proceeding. • Lift food out with the spring-loaded tongs (slotted spoons hold oil). • Salt draws water out of fried food, rendering it soggy; let diners salt their own portions. • Drain fried foods on wire racks placed over paper towels. Foods drained directly on paper towels reabsorb the drained oil. • When you have finished frying, clarify the oil by frying a piece of bread, a strip of lemon peel, or a slice of potato in it. • Once cooled, strain the oil through cheesecloth or a paper coffee filter, then store in a refrigerator. Do not use the same oil more than 3 times, although olive oil experts say that between seven and ten times is safe. This is an exception to the recommendation not to store olive oil in the refrigerator.
HOW TO STORE OLIVE OIL Olive oil should be stored in dark glass or tins specifically coated for olive oil. For easier handling, if you purchase your olive oil in larger bottles or tines they can be decanted into smaller bottles for easier handling. These should also be a dark glass to protect the oil from light. Heat and light break down olive oil so do not store your olive oil in your kitchen window or next to your stove. Bottles of olive oil should not be refrigerated. Condensation can occur on the lid and drip water back into the oil, which could spoil the oil’s flavor and cause rancidity. Refrigeration also makes the oil cloudy, although it will clarify when it is brought back to room temperature. The best place is to store your olive oil is in a cool, dark place – like your kitchen cabinet. Oils mellow and change in density as they rest in bulk containers before bottling. Once they are bottled, the flavor can hold or change, and does not improve. They should be used quickly, ideally within a year, or two years at the most. After that, it is downhill. Mt Olive Dancers
