The Italian market your referring to is probably A. Litteri, Inc., on Morse
St., NE.  I was impressed with its selection of probably more than 50 olive
oils, but I suspect some may move slowly off the shelves.  E.g., several
months ago, I was trying to figure out how old the oils were and some labels
said things such as "best before November 2003."  I did get an excellent
Australian (not Italian) oil there that was very fresh.
