I grew up right across from Greece, in Alexandria , Egypt which is another great civilization. My wife however, grew up in Greece and I have had the great pleasure to travel there almost yearly for over a decade now. I immediately fell in love with the beauty of this country and of course the food and it wasn’t long before I realized what a vital role the Greek Olive oil plays in the Mediterranean diet and the taste of all the Greek dishes!
