For the second year running Hastings table olives and oil producer Telegraph Hill has picked up a golden double at the prestigious Olive Japan International olive oil competition.
And it repeated its success of last year in winning a silver medal too, taking Telegraph Hill's total honours tally to just over 50 since it first won a silver at the 2004 Los Angeles County Fair. It's picked up something at New Zealand and overseas events every year since.
Telegraph Hill scored gold in Japan with its roast garlic infused olive oil and its lemongrass, kaffir lime and chilli infused oil, while picking up the silver for its thyme, sage and rosemary oil.
As Telegraph Hill owner Geoff Crawford said, it had all been going pretty well for a company which started out humbly in a small shed on the grove off Howard Rd back in 2001.
Mr Crawford was delighted with the latest success because, he said, it reflected well not only on his company but also across the whole New Zealand olive oil industry.
