Lucca? I'm between Siena and Florence, in Colle di Val d'Elsa. This position, near Chianti, is perfect for oil and wine!
Have wou seen, any days ago, the small inondation near Lucca? Serchio river cause problems from time of Leonardo da Vinci, when he proposed safety works for this river.

I love it as well and use it in almost everything. Can you tell us how you use the different grades over there?

No, I didn't hear of the floods but most of my family moved all over the world. Only have a cousin in Grosseto now.

I live in Phoenix, but there is a really good store called Cucina in Chandler. They sell imported olive oil and vinegars from around the world.

We get our olive oil locally from an Italian family, by the flagon, we use it in anything from baking my own bread to bruscetta, salads, great with balsamic. We have an increasing local business of producing our own olive oil here in Australia !! Really great stuff !!



Cheers Ps have always wished to visit Tuscany !!

My family has used olive oil for everything since I was a kid, and now I use oilive oild for everything.

I am conviced that when you get to heaven, it smells just like garlic and onions sauteing in olive oil. Is there a better aroma? I think not! I use to wake to this smell every Sunday morning before church as my mom got the pasta sauce cooking for dinner. Now my kids wake to the same smell.
