In an article today, in Spanish, on the CanalSur website, speaks of Spanish olive oil in the USA: Quote: "Olive oil from Andaluc�a, the best olives on the earth", lema de la promoci�n del aceite de oliva en Estados Unidos 30/01/03 REDACCI�N WEB La Junta de Andaluc�a ha cerrado un principio de acuerdo con los empresarios para que todo el aceite de oliva que se venda en Estados Unidos vaya identificado con el logo 'Olive oil from Andaluc�a', realizado por una empresa de Miami, junto a la marca de la empresa productora. Esta medida forma parte de la campa�a de promoci�n del aceite andaluz presentada en el Museo de Historia Natural de Nueva York y que comenzar� la pr�xima primavera con anuncios en prensa y televisi�n en ingl�s y en espa�ol en Miami y Nueva York con el mensaje 'Olive oil from Andaluc�a. The best olives on the earth' para conquistar el mercado norteamericano. La campa�a, que supondr� una inversi�n de un mill�n de euros financiados por la Junta en colaboraci�n con los empresarios --que aportan un tercio del coste inicial previsto--, se centrar� en poner de manifiesto la "calidad y sabor superior" del aceite de oliva andaluz, primer productor a nivel mundial, en un mercado actualmente copado por los italianos, aunque tambi�n incidir� en otros aspectos como el valor a�adido de este producto para lograr una dieta saludable.

taravb Executive Member Registered: 02/22/01 Posts: 736 Loc: Ames, Iowa, USA	viequense, if you plan to bring containers of olive oil home, be sure to take along some large plastic bags to wrap them in! I don't know if there are ziploc bags that would be big enough--but at least bring some bags and twist-ties. I don't think I would put olive oil in checked bags--but I brought a couple of liters home last trip in my (enormous) carry-on bags. YUM!!!

Ok, I got to this thread pretty late and admittedly didn't read all the postings...but as an Italian-American, I can say with certainty that we use a lot of olive oil too!! I'm not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but if you look closely on the bottles/cans, however, many of the "Italian" olive oils are actually made from Spanish olives, and just bottled in Italy... I LOVE Strictly Ballroom, too, I thought I was the only one!! (In fact, that's where I first heard the quote I have in my signature line!!) I love the Spanish scenes, especially when the grandma is talking about the guys body and he has no idea...gotta love it! -GG _________________________ "Vivir con miedo es como vivir a medias."
