Looking for Costa D'oro olive oil

[Erica2125]

Has anyone spotted costa d'oro extra virgin olive oil anywhere in the Montreal/Laval area recently? Not exactly a pricey or unusual item, but I'm striking out. This used to be a staple of mine in the states, and I'm hoping to be able to find it locally if possible. I've tried Marche Gourmand and Marche 440 in Laval as well as a couple of local IGAs, but no such luck. I don't make the treck out to Jean Talon often to see if its carried there, but would make it a point to stop in if I knew it was available there, or somewhere else in the area.

I've often seen it at the Intermarchés that carry "International" items and it often goes on sale there - keep your eyes peeled. Unfortunately the Intermarché flyer (it is a banner of Loblaws, like Provigo and Maxi) doesn't seem to be online yet - I've checked out supermarches.ca and the Loblaws site.

thats because its not a banner of Loblaws, a few stores are owned by 2 italian brothers, my friend worked at the one in Laval

Thanks for the correction. They carry a lot of PC products, but perhaps it is a different type of arrangement. I saw litres of Costa d'Oro on sale for $5,98 a couple of weeks ago - a special that recurs from time to time. It is a decent all-purpose olive oil. Would anyone have a critique of their "organic" olive oil which has popped up here recently?

Thanks for everyone's tips - I picked up a couple of bottles at Capitol Butcher today. I have not had the chance to try Costa d'Oro's organic oil, but L'estronell makes a decent organic oil that I like to use on salads.

I bought a litre of Costa d'Oro extra virgin olive oil at the Intermarché on avenue du Parc (between St-Viateur and Bernard) for $5,99. Their sales run through Wednesday. I think it is a sale at all their stores, including the ones in Laval, but you'd have to check your flyer.

Sorry to hijack but any help finding Frantoia olive oil would be much appreciated:

They sell both Costa D'oro and Frantoia at Capitol Butcher in the market.
they sell a very large variety of olive oil at Capitol in the Jean-Talon Market.
at least over 50 different types as well as a huge variety of balsamic vinagers and balsamic reductions.

Milano usually has it, too.

I just bought a bottle of Costa D'oro Il Grezzo EVOO at Boucherie Tranzo on Somerled in NDG

I bought some of that, too, at ExoFruits. But it's meant mainly for seasoning, not cooking. See www.oliocostadoro.com/acm-on-line/en/...

Costa D'Oro Il Grezzo EVVO is readily available at Costco. Bought a liter bottle for $7.99 last Saturday.

Bought a bottle a couple of weeks ago at the Park Ave. outlet of Supermarché PA. ExoFruits on Côte-des-Neiges usually stocks it too, though at $2 more a bottle than PA.
