Olive Oil
Olive Oil has been a traditional harvest in the Mediterranean countries. Besides cooking you will find it in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and soaps.
I am most interested in the cooking angle of Olive oil for a healthy diet. It is a widely agreed upon fact that due to the Mediterranean diet lots of the diseases are kept in check. Exactly the opposite of our US Diet. I for one use it a lot. One simple example is. If I just want to have a quick breakfast I'll get a plate add some paprika, chili pepper and Olives in it and drizzle a healthy amount of olive oil. and dig in.
What is your opinion on Olive oil, how do you use it. Any good recipes?

Olive oil with salads is great, with dips its super. Try olive oil with dips.
I use extra virgin Olive oil for cooking and salads, olive oil is part of my daily diet. I didn't plan on it either. Just a family thing. Try Olive oils and find the taste you like. I love the extra virgin olive oil.
