I've been ordering this oil for quite some time and I still think it's the best EVOO I've ever tasted!! Fruity aftertaste and delicious on the front of the tounge as well. I'm sticking with this oil for as long as I can get it!!

I'm an American which means I don't know squat about good olive oils. Well, that used to be true. Now I know a little something about them that I'd like to share with you. I was a typical person... I bought olive oil at my local grocery store but I didn't really know anything about it. In time I learned about cold-pressed olive oil being preferred. Next i learned a little more about the deeper concepts of olive oil. I sampled various relatively expensive domestic brands, the kinds available at my local Harris Teeter. But my experiences weren't very fruitful. I simply wasn't moved. Until I decided to give in to a wild hare and order a foreign bottle of olive oil. And WOW! What a difference!! Such a fruitful nose and a beautiful color. I never knew it could be like this. I simply didn't have a clue that this could exist. But what I ordered was fairly expensive. At least compared to what I could get locally. THIS PARTICULAR olive oil was my second foree into non-domestic samples. And not only is it better than the first REAL olive oil I tried, it's cheaper. If you choose this olive oil you're going to pay about 30% more than what you can get locally. With shipping costs and all. (Minus sales tax, yay!) But this olive oil is very high quality. And although it costs a tad bit more that what you can buy locally, the lift in quality makes it worth it ten times over.

I just ordered my second bottle and I see this as being something I do every 3 or 4 months.
