L'huile d'olive


My last day in Paris, June '10, I passed this store in the Marais. The young ladies that worked there were so friendly, and welcomed my photographs.  In France, an olive oil shop is a work of art.  I have several more I'll share.

    The amber bottles with just a bit of rouge reflection is delightful... wish I had one of those bottles! Delish!

    Genie, I think I overlooked the rouge!

    Leif, no darlin', those pesky TSA guys would have made me throw it out!

    Anita, you're right about that.

    WOng and Grace, I sort of liked the lady walking across the street as well. Thank you.

    Paul and Veronique, Merci!

    Yes, they are—and I just love the way you captured the light coming through these bottles.
    Spent the weekend chez my mostly-internetless maman, but wow! for both your Sat. & Sun. posts!

    I wonder if this oil is from Spain. The Spanish have the very best aceite de oliva.

    how something so simple can look so good and so inviting;. it is true that the red, once more, gives it a nice finishing touch

    Beautiful photo, Genie. Until ten years ago, vegetable oil was vegetable oil to me, and not interesting. However, I had an introduction to fine extra virgin olive oil, and now I am hooked! Show us more!

    Hey, you're Virginia, not Genie. So sorry! I still love EV olive oil.

    We have many special olive oils, but I guess that here they are in another league... Great picture, by the way!
