My favorite Middle Eastern store -- usually the home of EVOO bargains -- has
no Italian olive oil at all. I figure this is another harvest, so the oil
should be flowing. Does anybody have a handle on the situation?

Should we just buy whatever Costco has for now?

I couldn't say. I prefer Greek olive oil. The owner of a local
restaurant allegedly has a cousin with an olive ranch I buy
olive oil at the restaurant, currently $12 for 750 ml. Perhaps
not a bargain, but it's a price I'm willing to pay for an olive
oil that I like.

How soon after harvest does the oil appear on the shelves?
I was reading that this year's harvest is much better.

I bought Costco stuff, myself.

Let's talk about Christmas in CHINA, John. I hear they make good
chocolate covered cherries for only $2.00 per dozen there. Hopefully
Walmart will sell them this holiday season.

Interestingly, on Wednesday Walmart announced to Wall Street that
their profits are going down for next year (for those of you in Rio
Linda this means Walmart is rolling back prices even cheaper next
year). The greedy Wall Street Capitalist Pigs reacted by slashing
Walmart's shares 10%.

You mean ordinary investors sold on earnings weakness?

Oh the horror!

Can you imagine booking a gain instead of taking a loss?

Meanwhile:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/wal-mart...ook-1444835896

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. surprised investors Wednesday by predicting profits
would drop as much as 12% next year as the world’s biggest retailer by
revenue spends heavily to increase wages, improve its cavernous stores
and boost online sales.


Why the NERVE of those guys!

I found a really good California olive oil at the local Price Chopper
for $10. Compared to oils costing 3X the price. Can't recall the name
of it, but CA oils are worth checking out.

Considering the adulteration of EVOO, your bargain brands were
probably anything but extra virgin and maybe not even 100% olive oil.
Costco and Trader Joe's are your best bets if you want the greatest
chance of getting what you paid for.

No Tuscan or Sicilian oil this year, my last bottle of Kirkland said
it was Greek. If the harvest really was better this year, I'm hoping
the price comes down. That single bottle cost me what two normally
do.

Right on.

I will say the Kroger Private Selection brand has a very good Greek evoo
and a Spanish one that is almost as tasty.

I have bought pricey brands from a friend when she sold Italian goods
and foods. However, I find that reasonably priced, "own label", sold by
the Co-Op supermarket in Calgary is an excellent, fruity EVOO, from Spain.

My Costco has had two different brands from a region in Spain. How
much did you pay for a liter at Costco?

Sure they do! At least that's what the LABEL says!!

I wonder what else they have in them that the label DOESN'T say!!
After all, China has no FDA, or USDA, etc. All they want to do is make
more MONEY!

You *do* know what melamine is, right?

Plenty. I certainly wont (knowingly) eat anything with even a single
ingredient from China.

I don't remember the exact amount now. I think it was $12-14,
2L Kirkland brand.

That's cheap. We have a store in town that has good oils, but the price
is very high.

A two liter bottle like you bought would be $117.

You're talking about the glass bottle? I buy that one too, but not
this time. Not sure if they even had anything other than the garlic
flavor, but I was going specifically for the big bottle. Their EVOO
selections have been quite "varied" for the last year due to all the
problems in oliveland.

I'm on a Chosen Foods oil kick now. Finding it at Grocery Outlet for
slightly less than $10. Chosen Blend: high oleic organic safflower
oil & a blend of avocado & coconut oil. I haven't given up on TJ's
sunflower seed oil either.

Yikes! That should be used as dipping oil in a fancy restaurant, IMO.

I held my breath when I paid $17 for a L of fancy (award winning, they
claimed) Greek oil a few years ago and it wasn't even the most
expensive one in the shop.

Just ran across this conversion chart on the theoliveoilgrove.com, it
might be of interest to someone

Butter = Olive Oil conversion

1 tsp. = 3/4 tsp.
1 tbsp. = 2 1/4 tsp.
2 tbsp. = 1 1/2 tbsp.
1/4 cup = 3 tbsp.
1/3 cup = 1/4 cup
1/2 cup = 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp.
2/3 cup = 1/2 cup
3/4 cup = 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp.
1 cup = 3/4 cup

It seems quite international now. I've noticed quite a few Korean
restaurants and other Asian businesses along Folsom. And down Sunrise
there is a large concentration of auto dismantlers. Mather Air Base is
now commercial. Aerojet was involved in a couple of mergers but is stll
a presence in RC. Were they still growing hops in the area when you were
there?

Yep.

Worked on a hop ranch (farm) fer 3 summers during high school (RCHS).
This was not near Watt, where all hop farms were long gone by the 60s,
but way out on Sloughhouse Rd. Last time I looked, about 10 yrs ago,
Sloughhouse Rd was all "ranchettes" caternig to the wannabe horsey
set. Most hops are now grown in OR and WA.
