FAQs of Olive Oil

Flaschengeist oils are premium quality, cold pressed organic extra virgin olive oil produced in Australia. That’s right – Australia owned producers and proud of it!

What is 'extra virgin' olive oil?

 In order to be 'extra virgin' olive oil, the oil needs an acidity level less than 0.8%, among other attributes. The acidity of Flaschengeist oil s is typically around 0.12%. It is also considered the best; least processed ‘comprising’ (extract so to speak) the oil from the first pressing of the olives

What is ‘first pressed’?

 The oil that comes from the first "pressing" of the olive, is extracted without using heat (a cold press) or chemicals, and has no "off" flavours is awarded "extra virgin" status. The less the olive oil is handled, the closer to its natural state, the better the oil. If the olive oil meets all the criteria, it can be designated as "extra virgin".

What is 'cold pressed' olive oil?

The phrase "cold-pressed" is a term originating from the traditional olive presses. This term came about many years ago when olives were "pressed" to extract the oil on traditional machines at room temperature, without the use of additional heat.

What are Gourmet Caramelised Balsamic Vinegars?

Our limited edition CARAMELISED BALSAMIC VINEGARS are best described as sweet, tangy and intense, with a drizzle consistency, slightly thicker than molasses.

So in basic terms, a CARAMELISED BALSAMIC VINEGAR is a balsamic reduction with an intensified flavour and consistency that will boost any dish.

It’s a fancy, gourmet, ‘foodies delight’ embellishment!

Balsamic vinegar has infinite applications at home and you don’t need to be a gourmet chef.

It’s one of those embellishments that can elevate a dish to another level so don’t be afraid to experiment.

  • drizzle a few lines over a salad
  • squeeze some decorative dots on an ‘amuse bouche’ plate of melon and prosciutto
  • spoon a little syrup over a chunk of high-quality Parmesan
  • garnish some puréed soup with a few drops or a swirl
  • use as part of the glazing process in a honey baked leg of ham
  • blue cheese, or mature cheeses are a perfect partner for a glaze in either cooking, marinading or serving as a tasting platter – think of the combo such as walnuts, blue cheese, warm Turkish bread and raspberry glaze drizzled over the top
  • don’t forgetting simple dipping – add a few drops in a small bowl with our olive oil and Dukkah. Dip in some warm crusty bread and enjoy. Easy and affordable for entertaining!

Our CARAMELISED BALSAMIC VINEGARS range are all manufactured in Australia

What is Dukkah and its uses?

Dukkah has many uses; serve with good quality crusty bread and our Extra Virgin Olive oils, as a coating for fish or chicken or sprinkle through a salad for texture and crunch. Dukkah is the combination of spices and nuts that are pounded after roasting into a form that is neither a powder nor paste.

Our Dukkah is common in Middle Eastern recipe and typically includes hazelnuts, chickpeas, coriander, cumin and sesame seeds. Each batch is made uniquely for Flaschengeist and may vary from time to time depending on seasonal and market demands.
