How to enjoy spectacular olive oil without dying in the attempt. A daily tip on extra virgin olive oil.
How many times do you go to the supermarket to buy olive oil and, standing in front of a thousand bottles, you think:
You: Which one should I buy?
Your brain: Since you have no idea, grab the most expensive one—just don’t overdo it.
You: But wait, should it be mild or intense? Virgin or extra virgin?
Your brain: I don’t know, but play it cool. Pretend you know what you’re doing—they’re looking at you.
You: It’s just that I have no idea what each thing even is.
Your brain: I’ve heard something about extra virgin.
You: Yes! And I’ve heard something about first pressing… but I don’t know if it needs an acidity of 2 degrees, or if it had to be mild, if the bottle should be transparent or glass??? aaahhh
Your brain: And what’s the difference between that black one that costs 4 euros and that one for 12?
You: Probably nothing—marketing….
ME: I’M GOING TO LOSE IT LISTENING TO THIS.
In Spain, there are more than 1,000 olive oil brands. Some seem crafted with care; others, with an industrial deep fryer.
And that’s not even the worst part.
The worst part is that there are more and more “experts,” cooking influencers who can’t even dress a salad, and well-known people recommending refined oils.
But NOBODY EXPLAINS WHAT EACH THING IS!!!
And of course, with so much smoke, the hard part is finding a real olive oil and learning how to tell the difference.
One that doesn’t come from the supermarket wrapped in plastic and that actually tastes like… something.
One that hasn’t spent 2 years gathering dust on an LED shelf.
