An Amazing Olive Oil
I bought this the other day because I had a recipe that said to "break out the good stuff" and I'd never actually tried anything beyond a decent quality olive oil. I've always heard of people raving about olive oil, and I've never really thought it was much more than a vehicle for cooking. I prefer it to most other oils which have too much of a canned or processed taste to me, but I rarely do anything with it aside from sauteeing or coating something to roast or grill. The taste is fine, but I've never really liked just dipping into it solo.
That has now changed. This olive oil from France was really amazing. Almost minty, or somehow extra fresh in some way. Really delicious. It would be amazing drizzled on just about anything, from brocolli, to pizza, to fresh tomato, to my finger. It kind of explodes in your mouth. It was expensive which is it's single bummer quality, but i figure I'll use it only periodically. Or maybe every night. That's some damn fine olive oil.
