Some 128 oils were judged much like wine or beer; poured into glasses – blue, to prevent bias based on colour – sipped, and scored by six judges during lockdown.
Judging took place remotely due to Covid-19. Judges were sent tiny bottles of each oil, which they warmed on an electric heat pad to 34 degrees Celsius, and then sipped, sucking air through their teeth to enhance the flavour.
Best in Show went to Olive Black Extra Virgin Olive Oil, an intense blend with green grass, pine, and floral notes.

Does a good job and up to date on all the servicing.
Reason for selling is that it is a pull start and I need a push button start mower. It was my husbands mower. Was perfect for him to use but I need something lighter. I haven't got room to store it. It's been undercover in the garage.
It hasn't been started for a few months .

Shaw is perhaps best known as a stalwart of Hutt Valley and community sport. She has coached the Junior White Sox team and led the Hutt Valley Women's National League team to five successive titles and the Hutt Valley U19 and U18 teams to three successive titles.
Prominent in the success of the Hutt Valley Sports Awards, she was inducted as a Legend in 2013.
The Shaw clan have continued her legacy with daughter, Kiri, and grand-daughter Denva, both playing for the White Sox.
