You can get a 3 liter tin of Colavita extra virgin olive oil at
Trinacria for about $25. That is what I generally use. It costs a lot
less than at Whole Foods.
I was introduced to Trinacria by my son-in-law who comes from Firenze
(Florence).
They also sell pastas, olives and inexpensive
Haven't tried Tinacria but I give a thumbs up to Dimitri's. Good stuff.

Stay away from Trinacria's on a Saturday.
It is packed. I've seen it when people have to wait outside to get in.
Excellent Italian subs!
Always take a number as you go in.

Emil,
Where at the Farmers' Market do they sell Dimitri's? I'm always anxious
to try something new even though I am perfectly happy with the olive oil
I already get. And the Farmers' Market is a lot closer than Trinacria.
The Dimitri's website certainly makes a case for their olive oil.
Trinacria's is best when it's packed. Especially around holidays when
Italians and other ethnic folk make it a special trip from all over the
region.
I was talking to an old guy there... and he asked me if I was from around
here. I said yes, I lived in CV, how about him. He said, Yes, I was
I never thought of it that way, Gary.
A packed Trinacria is always interesting.
