Hello all,

Can I fry with Extra Virgin Olive Oil? Are Italian oils better than
those from elsewhere.

I found great info on Italian recipes and Extra Virgin Oils at great
prices at this site: http://www.bellaitaliaonline.com/

But still ne more info.

Most Italian Olive Oil sold in the US is, indeed imported from Italy;
Nope. Most olive oils are from other countries but labelled "product
of Italy".

however, because there's so much demand for "Italian olive oil" the Italians
buy much of the oil from Spain and blend it. To me, Spanish olive oil is
much better tasting and is bargain priced compared to so-called Italian
olive oil.

Most sites like the one you referenced are simply scams or for the
desperate. Because of the hype and mystique, many such outlets sell pure
crap at premium prices to the uninformed. Any city with an ethnic grocer
will have equal or better product, at much better prices.

So, quit shilling or spamming for rip-off artists and look for a real job.
