Do you have olive trees there? Maybe the weather isn't suitable for them.

Yes, we use a lot of it. We use it in our cooking and sometimes as a dip for bread and Pretty uses it for salad dressing.

@nela13 I agree, it is delicious but we didn't know it was healthy, until somebody on myLot said that several years ago. We switched to it when I told Pretty that.

I know picking olives is very labour-intensive. I hope you can get them all picked before it rains.

@nela13 They have machines to harvest all sorts of vegetables and fruit but they don't seem to have invented anything to pick olives.

I do not like the taste of olive oil, I prefer butter. You are so lucky your parents grow olive trees and process the olives for oil.

Yes, we do like olive oil. We would probably like it even better if we had our own grove like your parents. But we are fine with the kind we're using. I can imagine that it would be quite a bit of work to harvest but I'm sure that the hard work is well worth it.
