Israeli Gold Extra Virgin Olive Oils Available at A Southern Season

Springfield, MA (PRWEB) September 11, 2005 -

– The Harrington Trace Corporation, a gourmet food import company, announced that its Israeli Gold extra virgin olive oils will soon be on the shelves of A Southern Season in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, marking the first time the store has stocked an olive oil imported from Israel.

Israeli Gold extra virgin olive oils are offered as three single-note varietals: Manzanilla, Barnea and Soury. Each varietal has its own distinctive character and all three are bottled in cobalt-blue European glass bottles. A Southern Season chose Israeli Gold olive oils because of the quality of both the oil and its packaging.

"A Southern Season is a world-class market known for its uncompromising commitment to quality," said John McBride, president of Harrington Trace, "I am very proud to have our oils selected by a store with such a strong reputation." He added that Harrington Trace is actively pursuing relationships with other quality markets across the country.

The oils also expand the geographic range of olive oils carried by the store. McBride explained that his company sought out Israeli olive oil specifically to fill a void in the marketplace as Israeli oils are still relatively rare in the U.S. "Just like fine wines, olive oils embody the geography and climate of the place where the fruit is grown," he said. McBride said Harrington Trace wanted to offer consumers the unique flavor characteristics of Israeli oil in unblended varietals, adding that the Barnea and Soury varietals are rarely seen in the United States.

Israeli Gold is a trademark of The Harrington Trace Corporation.
