Olive oil

Since the disappearance of the much-missed Adamou's from CHR, I've been traipsing down to the Athenian Grocery in Moscow Road, Bayswater, every three or four months to buy a 5-litre can of Kolymvari olive oil. I'm about due for a refill, and was wondering if anyone knows of a closer and more convenient store where I might purchase a can of Greek extra virgin. (I know this is a real 21st century problem, but I've always found ChiswickW4 to be a very helpful resource in such circumstances)

Might be worth trying one of the grocers on Acton High Street - Safa or Hakikat. I'm pretty sure they sell olive oil by the tin but whether it is Greek or no I am less certain.

Further up the high road in Acton, across from the Red Lion and Pineapple pub is a large food store that has a lot of greek products including olive oil.

Thank you, Mark and Karen, I will explore your suggestions.

I get mine from Amazon, but a 5 litre tin lasts our family of four for almost a year, you must be feeding the five thousand, or bathing in it if you're going through one every 3/4 months.

I got a bottle of Greek olive oil from the Isatanbul supermarket in Hammersmith (next to the Plough & Harrow)It's a fabulous shop! Couldn't tell you if they sell larger tins of it though?
