try pumpkin oil its amazing

Any virgin olive oil is good,
This is the oil which results from the first cold pressing of the olives. It is natural and pure and has no other oils added to it.I always add a little fresh black pepper and a tiny pinch of sea salt.Then I dip some crusty  wholemeal bread.um magic!!Also i have some before I go out drinking,it lines the stomach.

Proper Italian extra virgin olive oil. 

Also you can buy this oil flavoured with different things, chili flavoured is lovely.

Has to be Italian Extra Virgin and, if you like it, add a few drops of Balsamic vinegar to it.
Anything virgin or extra virgin, but don't spend a fortune. The oil I get from *gasp* Lidl tastes just as good as the stuff from Carluccio's and it's 1/5 the price. Don't get anything really cheap though, and avoid pomace like the plague. The balsamic vinegar tip is a good idea as long as you like it, adds a little extra zing. Have fun. Oh and, by the way, those part baked bread products work really well with dipping oil, nothing like warm bread just out of the oven, and a lot less hassle than baking your own (unless you like to do that anyway)
try flavoured olive oils, such as chilli oil or rosemary oil - fabulous. You can make your own by adding herbs or spices to a  bottle of oil. Add them whole, rather than chopped, e.g. a sprig of rosemary
In Selfridges I tried a combination of hazelnut oil and raspberry vinegar.  It was truly incredible.
roomby's got the right idea - find a suitably beautiful or retro-chic bottle with a cork and/or chrome-spout lid... scrub some fresh red chillis (maybe a few black or mixed peppercorns) and pop them in with a few bay leaves. then fill with some nice oil as described above. leave it for as long as you can bear, a few months...? Marvellous.
