If you love olive oil like I do, stop by and give it a taste.
The Governor's Olive Mill的点评
点评:I visited the in-town location, called Olive Fabrica.
The guide talked to me about their olive oil options, as well talked to me a little bit about the oils themselves, as well as allowed me to taste each kind.
They definitely keep things simple, and sometimes simplest is best. They don't need 10 different flavored varieties of olive oil. Just the tried and true version.
They had small 90 ml canisters which is a great idea for those traveling with hand-luggage only.
The guide talked to me about the difference between gold-label and silver-label. Their gold-label is from an earlier harvest. Tasting them side by side, you can definitely taste a difference. I liked both, but there were certainly distinct notes to each version.
Unfortunately, they do not produce the gold-label in the small 90 ml size. They do however sell their oil at the duty-free shop at the airport, so I thought that may be an option. Unfortunately, though, they apparently don't sell the gold-label at the duty-free shop either.
Since I was restricted to hand-luggage, I got some smaller 90 ml canisters in town, and then bought a larger canister from the duty-free shop at the airport. I really wish I could have gotten the gold-label version though. That might be a splurge once I get through my current stock.
翻译:我参观了位于市区的Olive Fabrica门店。
导购向我介绍了他们提供的各种橄榄油,还简单讲解了不同橄榄油的特点,并让我品尝了每一种。
他们确实把产品保持了简约风格,有时候简单反而最好。其实他们并不需要10种不同口味的橄榄油,只要那种经过时间考验的经典款就足够了。
店里有90毫升装的小罐装橄榄油,对于只带手提行李的旅行者来说,这个规格真是个不错的选择。导游跟我介绍了金牌标签油和银牌标签油的区别。他们的金牌标签油来自较早批次的收获。将两者并列品尝的话,确实能尝出差异。两种我都喜欢,不过每种都有自己独特的风味。
遗憾的是,他们并不生产90毫升小包装的金牌标签油。不过他们会在机场的免税店出售这种油,所以我原以为那或许是个选择。可惜并非如此。显然,免税店也不卖金标版本。
由于只能携带手提行李,我在城里买了些90毫升的小装瓶,后来又在机场的免税店买了一个大包装。不过我真的希望能买到金标版本啊。等用完现在的库存后,我可能会奢侈一把买来试试。
