More than just olive oil

Colive from Cyprus is an innovative olive oil made with olives from either side of the green line dividing the Turkish-occupied north and the independent south. Hasan Siber, an olive oil expert whose family is native to the Greek-speaking southern part of the island, wanted to show the world the quality of Cypriot olive oil and to “bridge the divide in Cyprus.” He brings handpicked olives from the harvest in the north across to the south where they are coldpressed within 24 hours with olives from the south. The greenish-gold oil — mostly from Kypriaki olives, an indigenous variety, with some koroneiki and arbequina — has a grassy aroma and warm richness finishing with a touch of bitterness. It complies with the international regulations for extra virgin and is now available in the United States. The company is donating 10% of profits to organizations promoting peace and education.

Colive Olive Oil, $17.99 to $18.99 for 16.9 ounces; sold at amazon.com and all Whole Foods markets.

A foundation for women in food

Toni Tipton-Martin, a cookbook writer and the editor-in-chief of Cook’s Country who received the Julia Child Award from the Julia Child Foundation for

Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts, is redoubling her efforts to support future generations of women in food. Tipton-Martin will use the $50,000 award as seed money for the Toni Tipton-Martin Foundation, a revitalization of her SANDE Youth Project, which championed goals such as celebrating cultural heritage and promoting wellness. Tipton-Martin will run the organization as a nonprofit, and with the uptick in online conferences and workshops during the pandemic, she plans to make programming available online to anyone interested in uplifting and advocating the voices of women in food. These salons, she said, will explore and elevate women’s voices in food, untarnished by the long-standing legacy of male dominance and exceptionalism in food; to encourage women writers to resist patterns of silence and erasure; and to push back against discriminatory behavior in food.
