If the shop in palermo is the one I’m thinking of (Almacen Something, it was called) then the olive oil is really bad.

We opened a bottle of “Abra de los Olivos”, Manzanilla which is just -great-

It’s not cheap, but really high quality

I’d love to find it if it is! Though, I’m quite happy with these, I must admit.

I remember being told once of a shop in Palermo that sold primarily their own olive oil. You could even take an empty container and have them fill it up if you wanted to go that far. Not sure if they are still around and if so the quality.

What a pleasure to finally find some truly excellent olive oils. I take it for granted that I have a fairly wide selection, even in an edge of civilized living such as Ipswich, Mass.
