Olive Oil

[Jean]

Okay Mary Jo,
try this, the old fashioned Italian way..
Pour your olive oil into a dish, add Fresh Rosemary, then have some
frsh baked whole grain or multi grain Italian bread, dip the bread in
and enjoy. I like to bake the bread in the oven and serve it warm and
crusty.

Another way to enjoy your olive oil, pour it over fresh steamed broccoli
with fresh garlic, and squeese some lemmon juice over the broccoli.

Regards,
jean

Try using the olive oil with some other type of salad dressing like italian, etc.... mix the two together and pour it over a salad.. tastes pretty good.

taken by itself sounds pretty gross

well if you are going to sop it up with bread, I would add some balsamic vinegar along with that rosemary.....yum!!!

Olive oil is like wine. You have to try a lot of them before you will find one that you like. I now use it in cooking all the time. I would never just eat it as medicine. I happen to like L'ESTORNELL extra virgin olive oil. It is organic and you can buy it at Whole Foods.
Good luck,
Barbara H.

Hi Marejo

I agree with you that olive oil must be an acquired taste. I can't handle drinking it straight, although many do.

I use it instead of butter on my toast. Then I sprinkle some spice or sometimes grated Parmesan cheese on top. I actually like the taste of it this way.

Yes, olive oil alone in a tablespoon I think it is hard to swallow!!!!
I think it is better just to put the olive oil on a green salad in the italian way; in this way you take the oil and also salad that is good for our health!!).
Another thing: there are different kind of olive oil, the best is Extra virgin olive oil, don't take a normal olive oil!
