Hello everyone, and Happy New Year!

Will you forgive me if  I start the year with a bit of a gloat? I doubt anyone will remember me tweeting from my volcano-stranded visit to the Madrid Gourmet Feria in April last year that Oro de Bailen was one of my two favourite olive oils tasted? Well, it won two-star gold at the Great Taste Awards in July 2010. OK, my timing might be way out but my taste buds are clearly spot on.
