We all know the term sommelier refers to a wine expert, but did you know that it can also refer to an olive oil expert?
Yep. Olive oil sommeliers! Olive oil is very much like wine when it comes to characteristics based on its geography, territory and processing. No two olive oils are completely alike and each one, depending on the olives used, has its very own flavor and quality profile.
And just like wine, there are some excellent extra virgin olive oils and some very poor-quality ones. The difference lies in the taste and the health benefits. So, next time you are in the olive oil aisle of your supermarket, remember to look for quality, especially when it comes to something which is so often used in every day cooking.
