OK so I know I'm Italian, but, we get our olive oil from a Greek guy at Leeds Farmer's Market. We got our first 20 litres about 18 months ago after having been at the market, tasted the oil and then bought a single litre. It was the nicest oil either of us had tasted for some time - and we buy a lot of expensive oil. So Dan did his thing, sent an email and negotiated a price. I think we paid about £7.50 a litre. It was really good oil!
Anyway, we've run out only recently and as we were running short, Dan emailed the guy again.
"Wait for the new oil" he said. "It's going to be delicious". So we did. And today we've just been to the market for our next 30 litres! It's SOOOOO nice, that I think poor Lisa, Malc & Simon are going to be getting just bread dipped in olive oil for their lunch!
So not that this is an advertising website (but it is bloody good oil) if you want to chat to him, his email is here --> ykardamakis@yahoo.co.uk
He's at the Farmer's market in Leeds which is 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. Of course, if you just want to taste the oil - invite yourselves round for a tasting session. We still have a miniscule drop left of last years, and it's interesting to compare the peppery sharpness of the new oil (which I love) with the soft smoothness of the mature oil. YUMMMY!
