#Olive Oil

Olive oil is a liquid lauded as bottled Mediterranean sunshine, drizzled over salads to bestow an illusion of health. It acts as an invisible shield against pan sticking, while its aroma can turn any kitchen into an overly dramatic scene. Bearing the lofty image of health-conscious refinement, in reality it mostly thickens the oil film on your frying pan. Branded "extra virgin" to justify price differences, what lingers on the tongue is just slippery slickness. Touted as a health elixir when consumed, in everyday life it mostly increases the risk of slipping on your kitchen floor.
