Know
your olive oil
Olive oil
is actually the juice of the olive, and it is the only oil in the market that
is extracted from a fresh fruit. Of course, we've all read about the benefits
of olive oil, and what it can do to our skin and hair, and of course, we all
believe that all Spanish beauties bathe in this oil. But do we really know how
to use this oil for everyday cooking, more importantly, which grade of oil to
use?
Perhaps not, which is why even though many in the world have switched to olive
oil, we're still unsure about its usage. Time to get educated, then... To begin
with, here's bursting the most famous olive oil myth in India: We should use
Extra Virgin (EV) olive oil because it is
Extra virgin olive
oil:
It is the highest grade olive oil with perfect aroma and flavour. EV oil is got
from the first cold pressing of the olive fruit within 24 hours of
harvesting. It is heavy, and its viscosity is higher than other grades of olive
oil and therefore, it is mainly use is for preparing cold dishes: dressing
salads, pasta, rice and vegetables,
meat and fish.
Olive oil:
This variety is a combination of refined olive oil and EV olive oil. Refined olive oil is obtained by refining oil that
does not possess optimum characteristics. After refining, the oil is
blended with EV oilive ol. Olive oil is an intermediate grade oil the best.
Well, not really. At least, not for preparing Indian dishes. EV olive oil may
be best in flavour, but its flavour is so strong that it can change the taste
of the dish! Also, deep-frying in EV olive oil is not advisable as it is heavy
and viscous as compared to other grades of olive oil. Therefore, EV olive oil
is suitable for only flavouring, dressings and condiments or for integrating
foods - like making cold sauces, crushing ingredients and preparing Carpaccio
or marinated dishes.
So then, what is the best option? Olive pomace oil. It is the cooking grade
oil, and is used all over Italy, Spain and the Mediterranean for every type of
cooking. Pomace oil is not costly, is light and has neutral with medium aroma
and flavour, suitable for pan and deep frying, stir-fries, sautes and stews. It
is also suitable for all types of body massage.
Olive pomace oil:
This is the main cooking grade oil variety. It is a light oil with neutral
taste and flavour and is the most suitable oil for Indian cuisine as it does
not change the flavour or taste of any preparation. This oil is obtained by treating the olive residue
paste (after the fruit has been pressed) with solvents to extract oil,
refining and then blending this product with EV oil in order to enhance the product
and its health benefits, taste and flavour. And, this oil is ideal for cooking
all types and varieties of Indian dishes. It neither changes the taste nor
presents any difficulties while cooking. Indian cuisine, whether fried,
roasted, 'bhunoed' or cooked by any other method, tastes as good with Olive
Pomace oil as it does when prepared in sunflower, safflower, corn or any other
oil. Also, when frying at between 130 and 190 o C, olive oil forms a crisp,
golden crust making the fried food much more appetizing but without affecting
its nutritional value, as the oil hardly penetrates the food, leaving it light
and digestible. Each portion of this oil used for deep frying may be reused 3-4
times as long as it is filtered carefully after each use through a gauze,
muslin or a suitable paper filter.
And this one's for those who think the oil is really costly: Yes, any grade of
olive oil costs more than other edible oils. But look at it this way: It takes
only 1/3rd the quantity of other edible oils to cook in olive oil, and since it
has a high smoking point, it can be reused 3-4 times. Therefore, the effective
cost of olive oil is 1/9th of its actual price!

Ania notes that "not all introduced species are created equal but
gardening with natives is still the way to go" when it comes to garden
planning. For gardeners who might feel intimidated by the thought of converting
a garden, she suggests focusing on invasive species removal and leaving other
introduced species alone, as they're unlikely to pose a threat. Garlic Mustard,
for example, aggressively changes soil chemistry to prevent competing seeds
from germinating, and should be removed, while plants like amaranth don't
threaten indigenous species. Over time, gardeners can slowly transition to an
all-indigenous garden if that's their ultimate goal.
She points out that working with indigenous plants has some advantages. For
one, it creates habitat for animals, a critical issue in areas where natural
habitat is shrinking. Gardeners can attract birds, butterflies, and other
pollinators with a selection of native plants, in addition to pleasing the eye.
Furthermore, working with native species can also reduce water usage without
installing water-saving plumbing systems like greywater systems, by allowing gardeners
to focus on species known to survive in local climate conditions. For gardeners in
areas like Dallas, where droughts can be an issue, native plant
gardening is actively encouraged by some municipalities.
One of the most common myths about native plant gardening is that it makes a
garden dull, lifeless, and boring. "Are you interested in providing a habitat for
butterflies and friendly bees?" Ania asks. "Planting a
variety of showy blooms would do wonderfully for that." Those showy blooms
can be native species.
"Are you interested in plants that will look sprightly and lovely even
in drought conditions?" Indigenous plants work for those too; in
California alone, she notes that plants like Douglas iris, pearly everlasting,
and Calochortus species do well in cultivation and look stunning, along
with many other species, whether you want a riot of flowers, lush greenery, or
stately trees.
Interested in gardening with indigenous plants? Contact a local Native Plant
Society to get lists of plants indigenous to your area. The more local, the
better, as many microclimates host unique species. Native Plant Societies often
sponsor plant sales, garden tours, and other events to promote beautiful local
species, and some also provide mentoring or consultations for free or a small
fee.

As many as 33 pieces of work have
been selected from the some 300 entries to compete in the finals, which
will be held this Sunday.
The winners will receive prize money as well as a chance to perform during
the festival's peak period.
However, six dance groups from various regions including Yogyakarta and
Kalimantan, resigned from the competition, despite making it to the finals, due
to financial constraints, head of dance competition Nungki Kusumastuti said.
"There is a sad story. Only 27 can come to Jakarta [for the finals].
Apparently they still needed funds," she said.
The dance festival will also feature international names such as Tang Fu
Kuen from Singapore and Daisuke Muto from Japan, as well as choreographers from
various nations, including Germany, France, Tunisia and Cambodia.
Highlights in the festival include various dance and multimedia
collaborations, event director Maria Darmaningsih said.
There is a light in his eyes as he discusses the benefits of organic farming,
of the farming methods his grandparents used.
“This year we will produce around 3 tons of organic fertilizer from the cattle.
We have just had an order for one-and-a-half tons from Klungkung. It’s being sent to Nusa Penida for a
banana farm,” says Sadyo as he points to the tomatoes, papaya, mangoes,
chilies, fish and shrimp being grown alongside his village rice fields under
the Government SIMANTRI integrated organic farming system.
Under the system, cattle become the backbone with their manure and urine
harvested and used to enrich soils and protect against plant disease and pest
infestation.
Recent convert to organic, integrated farming is subak head, I Nyoman Sucitra.
Within just six months of changing his farming practices, the lifelong farmer
says he is seeing results.
“My rice yield was down a little bit, but the quality of rice is far higher.
But also I don’t have to pay the costs of fertilizer, so as a farmer I feel
this is the right road and a road my children can follow. We can continue to
pass down this land as it was passed to us,” says Sucitra of Bali’s green
revolution that could protect farmers and save the tourist industry into the
future.
Trade Minister Gita Wirjawan said in Jakarta on Thursday that the decline in
the demand from Indonesia’s main buyers such as Europe and the US could result
in the decline in the country’s exports this year,
“If we can achieve last year’s exports, it will be a good achievement,” Gita
said on the sidelines of an economic ministerial meeting at the National
Planning Agency (Bappenas) in Jakarta.
Gita also said that imports should be closely monitored so that the surge in
the flow of foreign goods into the country would not affect the trade surplus.
“We have to stop illegal imports,” he said. “Common illegally imported goods
are toys, steel, helmets, fruit and vegetables,” he said, adding that the entry
of illegal foreign products had seriously hurt local producers.
To intensify the fight against illegally imported goods, Gita said that the
Trade Ministry would conduct much more intensive cooperation with the customs
directorate general and law-enforcement officers.
In 2011, Indonesia’s exports were valued at US$203.62 billion and imports were
$177.3 billion, making a surplus of $26.32 billion.
Economic think-tank National Economy Committee (KEN) predicted that exports
might decline, both in terms of value and volume, due to the ongoing global
crisis.
KEN proposed that to prevent a steep export decline, the government should open
new markets in other regions for its goods other than the traditional
destinations, such as China, the US and Europe.
Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo said that not only Indonesia, but other
members of ASEAN also believed that they had to start opening new markets in
regions outside their usual export targets.
“One of the new regions that ASEAN countries will try to cooperate with is the
Latin America region,” Agus said while adding that the agreement to intensify
trade with that region was made during the latest Asian Development Bank (ADB)
meeting in Manila.
A joint-report composed by ADB and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)
reveals that Asia is now Latin America’s second-biggest trading partner, with
about a one-fifth share of the total of Latin America and Caribbean trade.
Growing at an annual average of 20 percent since 2000, trade between Asia and
Latin America and the Caribbean reached an estimated $442 billion in 2011.
The surge being fostered by an increase
in free trade agreements (FTAs) between Asia and Latin America and the
Caribbean.
Between 2004 and 2011 an average of two FTAs took effect every year between the
regions, resulting in a total of 18 such agreements today.

The provision was contained in Bank Indonesia Regulation (PBI) No: 13/4/PBI/2011 on the Repeal of PBI No.10/22/PBI/2008 on the Fulfillment of Domestic Corporate Needs for Forex at Banks.
In the previous regulation, PBI No.10/22/PBI/2008, the access to forex at banks by those debtors were somehow limited. Banks even can1 propose for the forex needs against rupiah to BI for those domestic corporate.
Head Public Relations Bureau of Bank Indonesia, Difi A. Johansyah addressed such revocation aimed to show that Indonesia™s economy is already normal, enabling those corporate to directly access forex . “Thus, the companies can now access forex at domestic market instead of going to BI,”� he said to Bisnis yesterday.
He further added that such provision is also issued to anticipate the economic condition amidst the crisis specifically and to avoid speculative forex loans which may trigger currency fluctuation.
“Prior to his, PBI [Fulfillment of Domestic Corporate Needs for Forex at Banks) aims as an anticipative measure so that companies not rush for forex which may destabilize the currency,” he said.
Difi added that at the moment, central bank believes that the current economic condition is relatively normal, thus such provision needs to be revoked as the forex availability domestically is rather sufficient along with the excessive foreign inflow.
During the 2008 crisis, rupiah touched IDR12,000 per US dollar following the rising forex needs either for corporate interest, capital accumulation or only for speculation.
Preventing speculation
Thus, BI issued such regulation to anticipate the currency speculation that may worsen rupiah even more. In such regulation, bank may propose forex needs against rupiah to BI as it only applies for governmental institutions.
Besides, bank is prohibited to propose forex needs for any domestic corporate related to the bank. Any proposal relating to forex must2 have underlying economic activities in Indonesia.
Underlying economic activities include forex debt settlement, import payment, and any other needs supported by legal documents or as long as the company exploits it neither for any transactions nor investment in the money market.
Director of Bank Mutiara, Benny Purnomo supported such revocation since it may3 increase the corporate access to forex loan. The bank once named Century recorded an intensified forex transaction in its core business.
“By such revocation, the domestic company has more choices in fulfilling its funding needs. They can use both dollar and rupiah,” he said. (T02/NOM)
