Abdullah...You PM me your mailing address and I'll send you and fine bottle of Italian olive oil.

The oil arrived today, though the USPS tracking still has it in another country.

Many thanks John. I've already sampled it. Light fruity flavor with a mild peppery finish.

A really nice oil, and an awesome gesture for you to send it.

The olive groves of the Alto Chianti are quite rightly considered one of the major riches of the area. Despite the climate not being particularly favorable, due to the possibly icy periods, and the little production per plant which is extremely low if compared to other Italian areas which always have been dedicated to olive grove cultivation, this extra-virgin olive oil is considered one of the best Tuscan products.

Well that worked it well Abdullah. Doesn't get any fresher than that. I often peruse the cooking isle at TJ Maxx when I am bored and have found some wonderful oils there. But not pressed three days ago!!! We use grape seed oil to cook.

I buy and import few hundred loads of olive oil. 80% of the world's olive oil is produced in Spain. Italy has done a great job marketing olive oil and blending different oils from Mediterranean countries to provide a consistent flavor profile month after month. Olive oil do breakdown over time and the same oil will have a slightly different flavor profile one month from the next. Buy olive oil in the metal tins as they are the best storage container for this natural oil. Stay away from clear plastic bottled oils. I buy in metal tins and store it in a dark, cool and dry place. Then I have a small container that gets refilled for the kitchen counter top.

If you are a stickler about a specific country of origin, then look for a "product of xxx" instead of a "packed in xxx"

All olive oils are great if it is from the first press and are called extra virigin for obvious reasons.

I like Tunisia olive oil actually and find them to be of an excellent value.

Does the Mafia still control Sicilian olive oil exports? I think that's how the Godfather got started.

I thought he got started taking over Don Fanucci's protection racket?

"Leave the gun, take the cannoli." You are right, of course.

Wow, I am thankful that we can easily find extra virgin olive oil at the specialty stores in the US... can't image money it will cost every month shipping olive oil to my house!!!

Olio2Go.com has really great stuff from Italy. They even will tell you the harvest year.
