Title: for Helen (think this is in the wrong place)! Post by: JANE on January 12, 2009, 07:53:53 PM Is there a chance that you may eventually start selling Olive Pomace? I now realise I can get almost everything I need re. my recipe apart from this, and as it plays a big part in my soap making I thought it better to purchase from you rather than anyone else. was just wondering......

I can indeed get pomace however, I am not sure that, at smaller quantities, I can be as competitive as what is sold in supermarkets :'( The thing is, if you can get it local it would save you the shipping costs :-\ Can you get this in your supermarket do you know? Title: Re: for Helen (think this is in the wrong place)! Post by: JANE on January 13, 2009, 12:39:41 PM Thanks Helen, I've just been into A*di. They are selling 500ml for £1.79. This is much cheaper than what I am paying at the moment. My usual supplier prices it at £2.67 for 500ml. What I have tended to do in the past is get everything from one supplier but I now realise it's not as cost effective as I thought because the heavier the weight the more expensive carriage is.

The cheapest place I found it at was Asda - 3 litres pure pomace (their own brand) £7.59 Title: Re: for Helen (think this is in the wrong place)! Post by: JGorse on February 12, 2009, 10:09:36 PM I spotted pomace in Tesco today - pomace oil written all over the tin in huge letters. It was actually 55% pomace, 45% blended veg oils and an anti foaming agent. :-\

I went to ASDA to buy that one and then realized it is a blend. Look for the own brand stuff. I found it on a bottom shelf near the other olive oils Title: Re: for Helen (think this is in the wrong place)! Post by: abigailbalfour on February 13, 2009, 01:45:06 AM OH got all excited when he saw this, too - called me to ask if I wanted some. I made him check the ingredients and was sadly disappointed.
Then went to a different supermarket, saw this myself and got all excited. I checked the ingredients and was sadly disappointed. OH said that it was the same one he had seen, and I realised why he had got excited himself. I used to get my pomace from Booth's, which was lovely and cheap, but the branch which used to do it has stopped. The Asda stuff is more expensive, alas. :'( |
