		<title>Olive Oil Should have 18 month Expiration Dates</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that it is not mandatory to put an expiration date on olive oil?  Some people believe that olive oil is like wine, the more expensive it is&#8230;the more they should savor it and make it last!  This is a huge misconception!!!  Olive oil turns and becomes rancid.  The shelf life of olive oil is 18 months.  If it is stored in a cool, dry place and is bottled in a dark glass, it may last for 24 months. </p>
<p>Do yourself a favor&#8230;use your &#8220;good&#8221; olive oil on everything that you enjoy it with!  Use it up, you don&#8217;t want to save it and find that it is rancid when you want to use it!  Just think, would you dip bread in most store bought olive oil?  Probably not!  Then, why would you want to cook with it or put it on your salad if it doesn&#8217;t taste good right from the bottle?</p>
<p>Enjoy olive oil, it is delicious and healthy for you!  Spend a little more to get a delicious, good quality oil and by all means&#8230;check for an expiration date!!!</p>
<p>We are proud to say that Tutti Amici olive oil always has an 18 month expiration date stamped on the label!  You will never get an outdated bottle from us.  We order once a year and whatever is left over (usually not much) gets shipped to our Olive Oil Soapmaker!!  Check out our all natural olive oil soaps at <a href="http://www.tiezziimports.com">www.tiezziimports.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you watch the Dr. Oz show?  It is amazing to me that so many people watch him everyday and then follow his advice.  This must mean that he gives really good advice&#8230;right?  Well, as the owner of Tiezzi Imports, I can tell you first hand that the advice he gave today was very accurate! </p>
<p>Dr. Oz talked about the things to look for when buying olive oil.  Olive oil labels are very important.  First, you must look for a dark colored bottle because, it keeps the light out, which in turn protects the oil&#8217;s vitamins and nutrients while making it last longer.  Second, it should be &#8220;cold pressed&#8221;, which means that the juice from the olive is extracted by pressing the olives between stone wheels.  The new and less expensive way to press is through centrifical force, which heats up the juice and depletes its vitamins.  Last, but not least, the olives should all come from the same country.  You don&#8217;t want a mix of olives that might contaminate the oil!</p>
<p>So, I hope that you will look for these characteristics when shopping for &#8220;great&#8221; olive oil.  Yes, you will pay a bit more, but at least you will know that you are getting the &#8220;real&#8221; thing!</p>
<p>We pride ourselves on knowing that Tutti Amici Cold Pressed, Extra Virgin Olive Oil has all of these characteristics!  This must be why we have an award winning olive oil!!!  Check us out at <a href="http://www.tiezziimports.com">www.tiezziimports.com</a> and tell us Dr. Oz sent you and we will add a small bottle of Tutti Amici Olive Oil to your order!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are holding on with all our might to our olive oil  business.  Our local and federal  taxes for small businesses keep rising, the euro is in constant flux and everyone wants to know, why small businesses can&#8217;t hold on! </p>
<p>Did the people in Washington or even at the local state level ever come out and ask small business owners what they need help with?  Does anyone try to promote small businesses?  No, the answer is NO!  We get a &#8220;Business Entity Tax&#8221;  of $250 per small business and then a form that arrives every year  to be  checked as to whether or not we are still in business and if we are,we must check over the information to make sure the state has it correct&#8230; and put in your $20 payment for a job well done!!! </p>
<p>Try to call the state because a mistake was made on your paperwork, hold for a minimum of 20 minutes and then get a rude and obnoxious person who passes you to another person because they can not seem to figure out what the problem is&#8230;Is that what the Business Entity Tax pays for?</p>
<p>On the Federal level, just make sure that you pay your taxes on time or we will come looking for you!</p>
<p>Did anyone from your state or federal government ever send you a form that says, &#8220;How can we be of service to you?&#8221; or &#8220;Is there any type of endorsement or help that we can give you to help you succeed?&#8221;  NO, the answer is once again, NO!</p>
<p>I would be happier to pay state and federal income taxes if I thought anyone was willing to help me succeed!  However, it seems to be a backward system&#8230;if you are a large, successful company, we will help you with anything you need, promote you, lobby for you AND, you don&#8217;t have to pay the average tax amount!!!!!</p>
<p>When does the hardworking American ever get the respect they deserve?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My husband and I love to have dinner parties!  We are not like most couples who have hobbies like hiking, biking, tennis or other outlets.  We love to entertain, create meaningful dishes and share with our friends!  My husband is an excellent cook, while I enjoy the prep of choosing the courses, setting the table and making the party special.  Usually, I try to find just the right centerpiece, great napkins and rings, and a &#8220;favor&#8221; to use as a place setting. </p>
<p>My newest obsession has been Tiezzi Imports 250ml bottles of Tutti Amici Olive Oil!  They are small enough to use as a favor on the table and cute enough to draw attention from our guests!  The olive oil is not only award winning, but good for you, delicious and the name itself translates to &#8220;all friends&#8221;&#8230;it is the perfect favor for my dinner parties, favors for weddings and bridal showers and just plain perfect to dip your bread into!!!</p>
<p>Buon appetito&#8230;enjoy with &#8220;all friends&#8221;!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, one of our good customers found out that her Cancer had returned.  She scheduled her surgery and was about to leave for the hospital when she frantically called and requested a bottle of Tutti Amici Olive Oil.  After hearing the story and the reason that she wanted it so quickly, I was amazed and couldn&#8217;t help but deliver it to her personally as my gift!  She told me that everytime she goes in for surgery, she can not go to the bathroom.  As we all know, the hospital staff does not let you go home until you have done your duty!  So, her request for our olive oil was because she said, &#8220;it helps me go!  I drink it in the morning after surgery and within an hour or so, it has moved me!&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, I don&#8217;t know if this works for everyone&#8230;but, I like that it works for my good customer and friend! </p>
<p>To your health girl!!!</p>
