Growing up, my mother had a small bottle of Pompeii brand olive oil. It
was probably old and past its prime and I thought it was nasty stuff.
Years later I tasted some really good fruity oil and since then have it
on hand all the time. We have a store in town that has about a dozen
different oils and you can taste before you buy.
