Meet the stallholder: La Barre Olives

Want to put a face to the business where you get your produce at the Market each week? Or a name to the face of the guy who sells you your fruit and veg? Or simply find out a little more about your food and where it comes from? Then check out our ‘meet the stallholder’ video series on our Market YouTube channel.

This month –  meet Charlie from La Barre Olives. Charlie has been producing olive oil for about 15 years, selling it at the Market for the last four years. He grows the La Barre Olives at two groves – one at Yass and one at Cowra. Charlie says one of the nicest things about their oils is they combine the fruit from each of the groves and get a really lovely, balanced oil. The La Barre range includes flavoured oils with the most popular being the chilli and garlic oil, and the rosemary and garlic oil which are both great with savoury foods, roasts, and on steamed vegetables. Charlie says the most fun part of his business is experimenting and coming up with new varieties – there are currently 17 products at the Market, with most available for taste testing including the La Barre dukkha and caramelised balsamic. Tasty!
