Only if it is virgin. For frying.

 

I've eat it with salads and sometimes by dipping bread in it.

 

I eat my salads only with olive oil. Cold pressed, virgin. Most of what I can buy is from Italy. But there is a shop that sells 5L (I think) huge tanks of it that are greek, I just do not need that much oil

 

A quick tip for those that might not know it: Keep your olive oil in a shady, cool place but not refrigerated.
The heat can make it pick up an unpleasant odor.

 

Well, the thing is, that would take a huge marketing campaign towards the west. How easily do you believe you would change your culinary habits. Because for an olive oil export to make sense, I think that we need to talk big.

Not really cause 90% of Americans think their olive oil comes from greece.

I must be in the 10 percent. I think of Italy when I think of olive oil. Maybe I'm prejudiced because of the two years I was assigned in Southern Italy near the town of Catanzaro Lido.

I don't see how your posts links to mine. What do you mean?

Nah some people think that cause all the mob movies and shows use olive oil in their plots. Like Soprano's, The Godfather, etc...

Geo- You were saying you'd have to market your olive oil here in the west and that would be a large task. I don't think it would be a large task because we already think we get it from Greece or Italy.

 

Yes, but

1. Do you actually use it in quantities worth exporting?

and

2. There is no infrastructure for exporting it right now, nor it will be in the near future.

 

Simple fact is most imported olive oil in the stores (that I see) is from Italy.

1 Yes easily.
2. Not sure. Is greece so behind the times you don't have railways, ports, and cargo ships?

I really don't know much about greece thens on the news here. All we hear is greece in on brink of collapse and about to leave the EURO. Then they say that will start a chain reaction with Spain and other EU countries following.

 

At least we had the sense to avoid the Euro.

 

Olive oil? I have never seen a squeaky olive.

 

@ Shortbus,you and Olive Oil would make a good pair...just look at you two

or find her for a side by side...show the guys your stuff.

I heard that Germany was going to leave the Euro, then they wouldn't have to bail out all the failing countries.

1 Yes easily.

I have read somewhere that for an entrepreneur to export a product to Italy (inside Sengen) it takes 20 different forms. Imagine the paperwork to reach the US.

Export laws need to become more productive but I don't think they will change any time soon. The parliament is too busy signing funding agreements.

 

Yah that makes since. Gov'ment red tape screws everything up.

 

IOS 6.0 sure isn't funny. It's a bloody disgrace to be honest

 

I heard that Germany was going to leave the Euro, then they wouldn't have to bail out all the failing countries.

Actually, this is not a joke but a very viable way out of the crisis.

 

I like the germans, they have a very good work ethos.
