Unlike Old London (might be) the olive oils on sale here seem to come from the usual sources. Some from Italy some from Spain. We found a nice bottle from Napa, CA. at TJ Max. All I know about selecting one is, Extra Virgin and First Cold Pressing. When I think of Italy, olive oil is one thing that comes to mind. So I just have to know, what is it like to shop for a bottle of oil when living there? Are there stores that specialize in olive oil? There must be. Is that where you get yours? Did you buy the first liter and the second liter at the same place? Were they both the same oils or did your taste change in 4 months?
