    Default Olive Oil

    Need a recommendation for some decent olive oil before my wife looses her mind...

    Backstory: I brought Heather back a bottle of olive oil from Mallorca - it only lasted a week, now she's desperate for more. Apparently its not imported, I've looked all over for it.

    It looks like Earth Fare/Greenlife/etc have lots of options, where to start? Need something that's not gonna break the bank (Sorry Hampco) that's easily sourced. It'll be used exclusively for dipping homebaked euro-style bread.

    It's been a while, so I'm bumping this thread.

    Any more ideas for a "daily driver, but still very good" olive oil?

    I'm not looking for the hyper-premium stuff from olives crushed by 25-yr old virgin maidens by the light of the full moon, but still something better than the stuff from who knows where that's imported into Italy, has a "Made in Italy" label slapped on, then is transshipped out.

    TIA
