I spent an hour one day tasting a variety of expensive olive oils at the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto and came home with something very pricy that tasted like car grease. The following day in exasperation I just hauled something off the shelf at our local supermarket and it turned out to be fantastic. Masserie di Sant'Eramo (the "flavourful" kind, not the "delicate" version) always gets compliments and it's very difficult to find; no other supermarket in Toronto or where we live now on the west coast has it, at least to my knowledge. I was delighted to find that it's available through Amazon since I had given up hope of finding it anywhere other than at Loblaws in Toronto. Strongly recommended!

I've been using Masserie Flavorful Extra Virgin Olive Oil for well over a year. I can dribble a little of it over almost anything (except dessert) to add a lovely flavor. Even though one isn't supposed to waste good olive oil on cooking, I do cook with it and find it does nice things to vegetables and fish. It's good in place of butter on toast. Since olive oil is heart healthy and this one is not overly expensive, I probably use it more than anything else in my kitchen.
It is hard to find, so I'm delighted that Amazon makes it available.
