Whilst sitting on the throne this afternoon my thoughts
drifted to the health properties of coconut oil and then for some reason I felt
the need to remind myself that I was thinking about coconut oil and not olive
oil. Olive Oil… that’s all it took for
the ADD to kick in and my brain was off on an olive oil tangent.
There are literally dozens of varieties of olives… black
olives, green olives, Italian olives, greek olives, French olives, Turkish olives,
Spanish olives, sigh… the list goes on and on.
So which olive is used for making olive oil and why are there so many
different kinds? Pure olive, virgin
olive, extra virgin olive… seriously?
How does anything become an extra virgin? And can I get on that bus?
Thankfully someone came in the bathroom and rattled my brain
free from the grip olive oil had on it… stay tuned for more random musings.
I've tried to like olives. I've tried really hard. I want to enjoy the olive bar with all of the varieties.
