I was rather excited to come across this Himalayan Extra Virgin Olive Oil when I was last in Bhat-Batini. Certified as being Extra Virgin, it's apparently the only olive oil made in this part of the world, and certainly the only one made in the Himalayan region. At NRS 1150 it feels like it's a tad on the steep side, by really, when translated it's only about £8 and so, just for because of novelty of it, and in order to support local businesses over her, it's definitely worth it!
I wonder how many I'll be able to get in my luggage!
"Himalayan Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from hand-picked, green-ripe Olives which grow in the crystal clear mountain air of hills in Nepal, at close to 2000m. They are cold-pressed immediately after harvesting. The oil is low in acidity and high in natural antioxidants. To retain its superb qualities, this oil should be kept closed after use, in a cool and dark place. Below approx 8 *C it becomes cloudy which does not influence the quality. It regenerates quickly at room Temperature"
