Haven't heard of that one but I'll be on the lookout for it now. I bet if Kathy doesn't stock now, you can always ask. I'm a big fan myself of Nunez del Prado, an organic olive oil from Spain. Thanks for the tip!

I wonder if they carry PASOLIVO Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Paso Robles, CA. This is far and away the standout artisan oil from California. The only place I've seen it so far has been Fox & Obel.

it's funny, you know, when i was a kid, before olive oil was cool, before most americans had any idea what it was, my folks used to buy it by the gallon from those markets on harlem avenue. but as things often work out, now i find myself living just a few blocks from Mrs. Rose's place, and her story is a good one, so i'll likely stop in and buy something from time to time.

Places like these make me feel good about moving to Andersonville. I can appreciate a good olive oil and plan to patronize City Olive once I'm settled in.
