<pre>Constantine:
I would argue with you that there is no U.S. informational site for
foreign olive oil. As you are perfectly aware, we have had a free
international directory on our site for the last 3 years. We have
extensive listings on cultivars, pressing information, olive recipes,
culture, health information, etc. Much of the information on your
new "expanded" site seems to be suspiciously similar to what we have
had listed for years, down to the same picture under olive oil art.
We have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars promoting olive oil
internationally on the internet and in other media without any real
benefit as our main business is not imported oil. Much of our
content is original as opposed to your un-attributed content cut and
pasted from other sites.
We are the largest and most active olive oil informational site on the
internet with the highest satisfaction rating from search engines
such as Ask.com
For international listings, please visit
http://www.oliveoilsource.com/associations.htm If you would like to be
included, please email us. The listing is free, as is the individual
web pages for every U.S. producer.
We also have a free sister site for producers wishing to broker bulk
olive oil:
