This place sells their own Turkish olive oil out of a little shop near Zurich: http://www.epheser.com/

I got a couple of bottles as a gift and thought it was quite good.

Hahaha ! If you're referring to our "rep", it's not a matter of posting but "connections" !

I know about these Greek importers, I've found some online, but they seem to sell the most lousy standard "Greek goods", that one can find in practically every touristic restaurant in Greece and also every Greek restaurant in Germany, such as canned "dolmadakia" (stuffed vine leaves) and beans and also some "OK" feta cheese, so I can easily imagine what their olive oil tastes like ! But if you think the one in Yverdon is good, I would definitely try him!!!

I will update about my olive oil research soon!

Not the very top oil out there, but ALDI sometimes have a rather decent "Terra di Bari DOP" olive oil in addition to their standard olive oil. Certainly beats Migros and Coop oils hands down.

I have a friend who imports greek bio olive oil and extra virgine olive oil from Mesologgi. She is a little bit far from you but she can send it to you. If you want more informations ( maybe in greek!! ) send me a pm...

How to tell if your olive oil is the real thing

this article from UK, the Guardian newspaper


http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandsty...oil-real-thing


had suspected for some years that some oil was being doctored, if nothing else by the difference from what the farmer was receiving to what some sellers were selling at. This was brought to our attention some years ago at Greek Lessons, as the teacher had a brother in Kalamata who sold olives and he quoted the 2 prices, that did not make sense

Here is a Swiss-based online shop for Greek Olive oil.

Hi,

I would recommend the Oliviers in Zürich... They have big variety of Olive oil.
Address: Limmatquai 36 8001 Zürich

Pharmacies normally stock very good olive oil.

In Basel the COOP in the Centre of town have some expanded lines. Oddly enough Denner does some fairly interesting lines as well. Peculiar shop, good for booze....

Otherwise Globus or local deli

Aligro in Chavannes-Renens has a really wide selection of olive oils, usually much more choice than in Coop or Migros. And as it's sold in bulk, it's significantly cheaper than what you get in regular supermarkets.

If you really want that local Mediterranean "hand made" feeling and style, I would recommend you to visit Spanish or Italian Circles. There is one near Crissier, I think the name is Associazione Campana and they sometimes sell fruit and stuff they import directly (I assume). I've seen olive oil in big metal jars over there more than once.

Coop does have good quality bio olive oil from Kalamata. Of course it is expensive, but it is good (my family grows olive trees for a living, by the way).

A friend of mine produces and imports excellent olive oil from Turkey. Their oil has won several awards.

You can purchase directly from their website:

Enjoy!
