Costco olive oil

While I am trying to limit notes here to stores in the CHCHP area, there are some that some of us use that are short drives away. Since we are trying to help people who live here, it makes sense to include some number of those when they are the closest store in a chain.
In this case, the store is Costco.
With the stir created recently over the suspect origin of Italian olive oil, I decided to test how easy it would be to check on whether Costco was really on top of this. For the 2 liter bottles that we buy there, I asked them to tell me how they verified the claim on the bottle that all oilves came from Italy. A very helpful woman by the name of Tammy said she would get an answer within 24 hours. She got back to me within 20 saying she could have called earlier but did not want to wake me up! The answer was reassuring. She said that Costco sends its own people "into the fields" to inspect, and then follows through with the manufacturing process as well.
I have always like Costco, and now I like them even more for being so responsive and reassuring about their product.
