I recently came back from a two week trip to Morocco.
Prior to going I had a mild obsession/love of olives, but while there, I fell in love with olives in a massive way!
Especially the black olives. Wow!

Anyhoo, going to Loblaws now and buying olives from their olive counter is crap (compared to what I had earlier)...

So where (in the GTA, preferably Etobicoke are?) can I buy some good quality olives?

Kalamata olives from Greece are the best imo. You have to get them fresh at Greek stores to get the best quality.

since you're south etobicoke 'the cheese factory' probably has the best selection (probably one of the best in canada)

Agreed and for Greek oilve oil, make sure it's cold pressed. Highland Farms has good Greek olives and so does IGA on the Danforth.
