is using a garlic crusher kosher as an Italian? I would think not...Tomatoes crushed garlic oregano chili flakes lots of salt good oil.
good crusty bread.
devour and mop up.
That’s better. Phew.
yeah in terms of value/availability in our market, seconded. (acknowledging that most of what we call EVOO is pretty shit)Grade a evoo - Kirkland organic. Well balanced. Good in salads, for dipping and cooking.
I feel like I watched a netflix special about this.I think there was a scandal a few years back about the Euros basically bottling motor oil, calling EVOO and selling it to the witless mangia-cakes in North America.

I prefer sea salt or Himalayan salt.And if possible, a flaky finishing salt. Fleur de sel, something like that.
I buy Greek Olive Oil.New Yorker wrote about it 15 yrs ago

For our day to day I use the costco stuff mbow likes but for special occasions we’ll trek down to Liquid Gold for the good stuff.I buy a lot of Greek, and Spanish too
I think all of the brands I buy are legit....I'd be suspicious if they were riduclously cheap (which they aren't)
Agreed!Only one way to crush garlic.
I’ve seen articles on that too. Concerning.speaking of adulteration of an otherwise healthy product, turmeric from India contains a substantial amount of lead
