THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS PRESENTED WITH WARDIJA PURE OLIVE OIL

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Hon. Anton Tabone, received Mr. Sam Cremona and his collaborators who called at the Speaker's Chambers with an unprecedeted presentation of Wardija Pure Olive Oil made from the first cold pressing of fresh hand-picked Maltese olives of December 2000. Mr. Speaker accepted this gesture of sample registered bottles personalised for each member of the House of Representatives.

This locally produced delicacy is additive and preservative free and all olives derive from organically grown trees found on the hillsides of Wardija, Bidnija, Manikata and Mellieha. After cleansing, the olives are pressed at ambient temperature using only modern stainless steel equipment ensuring the highest standard of hygene, then the oil is left to settle naturally. Due to the high alkalinity of Malta's soil, the oleic acid of this oil is below 0.05%.

Mr. Cremona further explained that the vast majority of these trees grow with little or no care and most are at least a few hundred years old, and some could be old enough to have witnessed the shipwreck of St.Paul 2000 years ago.

The Speaker expressed his appreciation for this informative presentation and augured the venture every success.
