SAVE ON TOP QUALITY OLIVE OIL
May 22nd 2012 14:57
If you are a fan of cooking with top-quality extra virgin olive
oil as opposed to ambiguous blended bulk olive oil products
or, gulp, vegetable oils, there is a way to save.
"Cook's Illustrated" magazine recently did a taste test
study of 10 of the top-rated olive oils produced today. They
also compared the prices per liter of these top oils from
olive producing regions in Spain, Italy, the U.S., and Greece.
Their findings indicated that Terra Medi Extra Virgin Olive Oil,
pressed from Koroneiki olives was an excellent choice for olive
oil gourmands. Terri Medi at US$20 per liter (approximately)
was also the most reasonably priced of all the oils tested.
In contrast, the most expensive olive oil blend, McEnvoy
Ranch's Extra Virgin Olive Oil blended with six varieties of
Tuscan olives did not fare so well with the magazine's panel
of testers. This oil sells for approximately US$50.64 per
liter, more than double Tera Medi's price point.
Many times you can find small bottles of expensive olive oil
at closeout prices on the shelves of discount food stores,
a.k.a., "dented can stores."

behind bars to help prisoners successfully
transition back into society. Virginia based
Prison Fellowship helps prisoners hook up
with a church family. Volunteers from the
various churches throughout the country,
help to secure employment and housing
for prisoners upon release.
A step in the right direction, at least.
