A lazy, wet Sunday afternoon - what else to do - but taste the five bottles of olive oil that Mark has managed to accumulate while I have been in Sydney. All Italian, all EVOO, all various price points. We were in agreement! Our favourite was Colli Etruschi, Lazio Italy - it had the longest finish and was the most peppery and greenest of the five. It was also the most expensive. A close second was Borgo de' Medici, Tuscany. Both of these we will drizzle on salads, vegetables and grilled steak from the WFO. For everyday cooking and salad dressings- Whole Foods 365 100% Italian had the greatest depth of flavour. Trader Joe's Premium was not too bad, Sur la Table's Marca de Verde il Classico was lacking in flavour and length. Of course we had a glass of wine to accompany - Schmid 07 Kremstel Gruner Veltliner.
