For those of us who were waiting for Maine Natural Oils to finally be available retail - the long wait is over.  I know that a large number of people were lucky enough to procure samples in the mail early on.  I've been savoring what I have left and can now go out and get a "real" bottle.

According to Steve DeMaio, one of the founding partners, Maine Natural Oils' canola and mustard oils can be found now or soon at the following locations:

• A-1 To Go (Gardiner)
• A and B Naturals (Bar Harbor)
• Axis Natural Foods (Auburn)
• Barrels Community Market (Waterville)
• Bath Natural Market (Bath)
• Belfast Coop (Belfast)
• Better Living Center (Farmington)
• Lois' Natural Market (Scarboro)
• Royal River Natural Foods (Freeport)

If you haven't tried the stuff, you're in for a treat.  The canola oil is clean and nutty and fresh.  The mustard oil has a nice warmth to it and is  a great dressing on greens.  The sample of spicy mustard that I received (not sure if that's available yet) lived up to its name and was the first bottle that got used up - delicious!
