Olive Oil

[hampco]

Fonte di Foiano are the same people who do my brother's oil - and they're just down the road from him. Great stuff, not sure how Andy's compares to the Gran Cru but I'll bet both are excellent.

I have wanted to try your brother's juice. Making it a priority now.

Steve, you inspired some searching. Turns out they are cycling family, so the connection isn't so random.

Bumping this... One of my local pushers (wine) is also a direct oil importer and this cold past year meant the first good moraiolo harvest in a long time and now I have three bottles of the good stuff (from Pruneti, Sagona, and Franci). Problem is... I need ideas for what to do with *really good* olive oil. Sure, eating it with bread is OK, and I think I'll get some fresh local burrata, drizzle some oil and some fancy salt on it. I'll certainly make some pesce crudo... and then I'm out of ideas.

So how do you eat your best oils?

Pour over some high quality vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with sea salt.
