• Basil Olive Oil Products Bring Greece to British Columbia

  Can olive oil really be a B.C. product? Well, not technically but Basil and Helen Koutalianos, who own a grove of a thousand olive trees in the North- eastern part of Greece , are doing their best to introduce it to the province. Like grapes, the quality of olives depends on the weather conditions, particularly moisture and heat. The harvest for 2005 has just begun and Helen reports near perfect growing conditions for the year which should bode well for the many local chefs who swear by this great oil!

  The Koutalianos' import their oil and bottle it in their facilities in Pitt Meadows. Their product line began with the olive oil and now includes specialities such as raisins, balsamic vinegar, olives, tapenades, olive oil soaps, moisturizers, and even sea salts and organic food bars.
