I have discovered a source of extraordinary olive oil on the Danforth:
Uzel Olive
"the best olives in the world"
974 Danforth Ave.
Toronto ON
M4J 1L9
647 477 3170
www.uzelolive.com/
They claim the gemlike black olives are grown without pesticides or chemicals. The oil not a heavy and cloudy; instead, it is fresh, herbaceous, and delicious. Not cheap, but not prohibitively expensive. A gallon costs about $70. (They sell smaller quantities.)
They also sell sumptuous olives, fresh tapenade, olive oil soap, Turkish jams, Turkish honey, and spices. In the winter months, I buy dried figs from the recent harvest.
