I was selected to try the new Bertolli organic extra virgin olive oil fruity flavor, I used it for cooking my stake, pan-frying my chicken parmys and using a few drops to grease up my pan for home made source! The texture, the taste, the quality it’s all 100× better then the olive oils i have previously used! My daughter and I think its so great we dipped bread into our olive oil and then into ebbs seeds and oh my absolutely delicious.

The oil has a really light smell and taste.
I used it to make a fresh pasta carbonara (with eggs from our own chooks) and then a toasted sourdough with herbs, salt and lashings of Bertolli
It was AMAZING.
The oil is expensive, but certainly one that I would reserve for food that needs to have the oil flavour profile shine through

Bertolli has my trust when it comes to quality and taste of the food products. I love their spreads and sauces.
The Bertolli Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a subtle yet smooth tasting oil. It has a slight fruity hint to it which makes the experience more delightful.
It retails at $20 for 1LTR glass bottle and $15 for 750ml. It is only available at Woolworths and usually low in stock which made it difficult for me to get my hands on for trial. Really happy with the product though. And shall be buying again.

This is the only oil I will ever have in my house and as a true Mediterranean Olive-oil loving lady I absolutely give it my thumbs up. Amazing on fresh tomatoes with salt. Delicious as an alternative to “vegetable oil” in your brownie mix. Bertolli Extra Virgin olive oil is so versatile you can use it in sweets and savoury dishes, and will bring an unparalleled richness and decadence to the flavour of your meal. Absolutely try this.

Bertolli Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from 100% organic olives. I love using olive oil in my cooking as it is a healthier alternative. I tried the Robusto version of Bertolli Olive Oil and loved how it was full flavored with a touch of fruit taste. This goes well with my pasta, salads, bread, and Greek yogurt/labneh. It was a great all rounder and the one liter bottle goes a long way! The whole family loved it and we would be buying again.

I am absolutely in love with this olive oil. We tried it with bread and balsamic vinegar and it was so tasty. It was amazing over a salad and we even made home made garlic and cheese pizzas with it and the fruity taste was great. Great value for money for such a quality oil. It’s all organic so great to know it is healthy and safe for my family. Highly recommend this oil and will be buying more in the future.

I regularly buy organic Bertolli olive oil and find it flavoursome and tasty. This oil is of a very high quality. I use it in cooking and also drizzled over a lovely summer salad. An added bonus for me is if I can find it on special at the supermarket and then I will buy two bottles and stock up.

Great for Antipasto Platters, Salad Dressings and general cooking.
Also, for something a little different, I have found it to be an excellent and non irritating moisturiser for my horse with severe skin issues. A little bit goes a long way and the purity definitely prevents it from irritating his skin!

I’m not into oils for flavour like so many are and don’t really enjoy using them to eat dukka etc this one had a touch too much olive flavour for me impossible to get my husband to try new things at the best of times so he refused too at the smell unfortunately. Perhaps those that like olive flavour might enjoy it though

Olive oil is so versatile and Bertolli is one of the best. It can be use in the fry pan and added to ingredients in cooking but the ultimate test of a good olive oil is how it tastes on its own. Eaten with crusty bread together with olives and dips are the ultimate luxury and Bertolli olive oil stands alone as a tasty and healthy dish.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place!

The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
