Thanks for the tip! Good olive oil (Virgin, first cold press) is not cheap and of course I want mine imported from Italy. There has been an issue with ongoing fake olive oil from Italy and Spain and recently they arrested some people in Italy.
Unfortunatly, climate change has impacted olive trees and they are protected in Italy. My friend has one in her garden and it is controlled by the State. She has to take care of it or be fined.

My parents used olive oil, so I grew up with it. But you do need to be sure it is good quality! I agree with first cold pressed. Additionally, do not buy olive oil made from olives from more than on state or country. Being Greek, I lean towards olive oil from Greece. My favorite is from an online company My Greek Basket. It’s pricey but I only use it in salads or drizzled over vegetables. I do not sauté or grill with it has a low smoke point.
