Finding the Right Olive Oil: A Love Story

Based on a true story:

Before she left the Sicilian Airport something caught her eye. It stood there strong yet unpretentious, its golden color shimmering in the light. She wondered if she had enough time, but her curiosity took control and the bottle became hers.

They spent some good times together. His lusciously thick and smooth body quickly became her favorite staple for summer salads, grilled vegetables, and bruschetta. The rich, well balanced flavor is actually the result from the most ancient traditions of the Gradassi Estate. Like all good times, her love affair had to end.

She spent countless hours reliving the moment when they first met in Sicily, and of the moments they shared together savoring the simple things in life. She yearned to have it back because the others could not compete. This was the one. She didn't know if or when she was to return to Italy, but that couldn't stop her searching for her long lost love.

She called the airport with desperation to find her one and only. She emailed the store with hope that destiny would fall into place. Correspondence continued for days as multiple parties became involved in the search. She began to lose hope thinking that it was only a one time thing, left only to be remembered. She then received a call. They had found what she had been looking for:
