La Tete Dans les Olives

It’s so hard to choose among the Sicilian treasures sold in this tiny specialty shop: olive oils, smoked fish, anchovies. Sometimes after I’m done shopping I stay for an aperitivo. It’s just like Sicily: only the bay laurels and Barbary fig trees are missing. I love their Bianca olive oil: It’s light, delicate, and has a taste of lemon. Add some olives, fennel seeds, and red pepper and it’s delicious.
