Sometimes, I really love being Greek. OK, most of the time, but what inspires this post at 15 minutes before midnight is my latest acquisition, which is a bottle of some of the finest extra virgin olive oil I have ever purchased outside of Greece. It's produced by Gaea and it's from Sitia, Crete. I just broke it open and had a taste. There's a harmonious blend of richness in flavour and and a softness in consistency.
Agh! God bless whoever imports this stuff to England.

Did you buy it from the Greek delicatessen on Cowley Road?
I share your enthusiasm for good olive oil and just brought back a bottle from Italy.
hey Christina,
No I actually got it from Somerfield's in Headington...I don't think Yanni at Meli has it? But he's got a lot of beautiful Cypriot oils.
It's excellent....
i mean Christian!

also a big fan of olive oil. my family still pruduces it. in november, if i have the time, i like going to the country and help with olive harvest. we keep a big bag of them to cure.
