Very exciting, this rural living stuff! Yesterday we picked our olives (with some help and guidance from wonderful neighbours) who also took us to the local press, who are going to turn them into oil!
However, its not been a great yr for olives owing to the wet summer, so the amount of oil will be quite little, but I'd still like to try and put some in a few small bottles for close friends/family. However I've had a bit of a look around in a few stores, but have drawn a blank, so can anyone tell me where I might be able to get some small glass bottles (sort of 250 ml size), pref in Christchurch/canterbury, that I could use to to put Olive Oil in and give as little gifts.
Do any of the big chains carry bottling/pickling type provisions.. ?? or does anyone know of a specialist place (you can tell we are pretty new at all this!)
Any suggestions much appreciated!
