olive oil secrets

Extra-virgin olive oil is a ubiquitous ingredient in Italian recipes, religious rituals and beauty products. But many of the bottles labeled “extra-virgin olive oil” on supermarket shelves have been adulterated and shouldn’t be classified as extra-virgin, says New Yorker contributor Tom Mueller.

Olive oil is one of the real staples of our cooking, so very interesting to read that we may not be getting what we think we are. As for the expense of it, TJ Maxx and Marshalls actually have quite a good selection for cheaper than most grocery stores.
