Speaker 1:

Welcome back, friends. This is episode 260 and today I sit down with Laura Hamilton to talk about olive oil. Welcome to Bite Me, the show about edibles, where I help you take control of your high life. I'm your host and certified Ganger Marge, and I love helping cooks make safe and effective edibles at home. I'm so glad you're here and thank you for joining me today. This is an informative episode that almost happened by accident. Laura had interviewed me on her show called Her Story and after we'd gone off air, we were talking and it came out that she knew a lot about olive oil. You'll find out more about that during our conversation, but it made me realize that she could answer the questions that many people ask about olive oil, myself included.

Speaker 1:

Over the years, I've come to favor olive oil as one of my favorite infusion fats. I use it in body care products, cooking ingredients and in the blue zones. People often include olive oil in their daily diet. Now, if you're curious about what blue zones are, that's the places where people tend to live a really long and healthy life. But how do you know what? The olive oil that you're using is authentic and what often gets mixed with olive oil in lieu of the real stuff to help keep costs down? What's the difference between extra virgin olive oil, virgin olive oil and the rest of those labels?

Speaker 1:

We cover these questions and a number more no-transcript, no-transcript something. If you head over to the show notes, I'm going to have all the links and mentions over there so you can find it easily. So don't worry, I've got you. And if you enjoyed this episode, consider sharing it with someone else who has questions about olive oil, because there are a lot of things to consider and olive oil can be a really healthy thing to add to your daily diet and, as I mentioned at the top of this episode, it is one of my favorite infusion fats. So with that, my friends, I hope you enjoyed this and once again, I'm your host, marge, and until next week, stay high.
