Thank you, N P. In the past, I have done a Search for it, but never thought of Amazon. I’ve been on the warpath with them for not shipping in a decent time, then charging so much for shipping and "handling" (how much do handlers cost?).

It is time to restore my supply, that is for sure. Now, about Olive Oil - for topical application any one will do just fine, in fact I used to use Canola Oil. I wouldn’t purchase the EVOO for topical use, or cooking though. I do "taste test" it (it’s lovely and varied) for non-cooking purposes, but the less expensive ones are fine otherwise. Overall, I’m adamant that it comes from Spain, but most do now, anyway; some from Cypress, etc. though. Italy’s crops have not done well, and it is obvious.

If you decide to "check" the taste, try this: Sip about a tablespoon full into your mouth, and at the same time "inhale" it, over the lower teeth, lips partially pursed, and suck in slowly, and evenly, until it sprays into the back of your mouth, bursting into flavor on the front of your soft palate (behind the hard palate on the top of your mouth).

You’ll notice the notes in each differnt type you do this with, some more "peppery," some frutier, on and on. What’s tragic, is finding one you fall head over heels in love with and not being able to fine it again. :-(  Like every great food, it is sensual.

Enjoy, and thank you.

N P, by the way, applying oils, cremes (lotions are disfavored to me due to their water content) are best to moisurize on wet skin - nothing passes into the cells (except by advertisers); however, applying an oil-base product to wet skin helps to keep the moisure on the skin, and cells can benefit from w-a-t-e-r (notice the wrinking of skin when swimming a long time). So, stroking oils on the skin after bathing or showering (or merely applied to wet skin) does the trick. Adulterated oils (perfumed, or with other compounds added) are a waste of money, and a loss of luxury - IMHO.
