Like wine, like cheese, like bread, Everyone has their favorites. mine is from Provence.<BR>From the co-op Moulin Jean Marie Corneille in Maussane, an oil favored by all the great chefs. We usually bring back three bottles that come in their carry-on case.

Cigale...amazing..we actually agree on something..best olive oil I've ever had!<BR><BR>US

We bought olive oil in Baena, Spain in 2000. It was made from 3 different olives. It was fabulous.

Last year I visited with the Cacioli family in Arezzo and toured their small olive vineyards &amp; factory. I'm sure there are oils just as good or better but this is my favorite. Wonderful flavor plus great memories.<BR><BR>www.oliocacioli.com/inglese/<BR><BR>

We brought wonderful olive oil (and tapenades) home from Cervo, on the Ligurian coast of Italy.

We bought wonderful oilve oil in Lucca.<BR>Byrd

We have stayed twice at Le Case Gialle, near Bevagna in Umbria. Last November, Mauro entered the All-Italy Organic Olive Oil Contest and won over 3,000 entrants. We're working on our second six pack and he sells it for ten euro per 3/4 liter bottle and a like amount for shipping. You can drink it from the bottle! They have a website.

Go to Oliviers&amp;Co. in Paris and taste 15 different oils from Europe. Amazing differences in tastes. I brought back 2--one very flowery and one very sharp, tangy. Both Provencal, I think.
