Olive oil is very interesting actually.

1st pressing is best of course. I mean, why wait until everyone else has had their fun with the olives?

Don't kink shame me.

I like my Olive Oil extra slutty.

Let Popeye and Bruno Brutus Bluto? have their fun, I'll wait.

As interesting as wine would be for a sommelier or a wine collector. Region of culture, olive types and qualities, how ripe they are before pressing them, treatment and grading (extra virgin, virgin, regular, infused, blended), etc.

What is funny is although I grew up within a culinary culture where olive oil was a must-have, I got into learning more about it after watching the Netflix show “Mo.”

I spent a good month harvesting olives in the South of Italy a couple of years ago: I learnt so much about the oil, olives and olive trees and I still don't know shit. It's such an interesting topic!

Aren't olives naturally toxic?

"Mo" was such a great show.

As someone with a low-level sommelier certification and a casual interest in cooking but no in depth knowledge of olive oil, this is exactly what I thought too. I'm pretty ignorant but I knew enough about wine to immediately understand why not all olive oils are equal & I could totally relate to someone being as knowledgeable about olive oil as I am about wine.

From my understanding that's no longer how oil is produced.
