When you think of olive oil, you might picture a simple, golden liquid drizzled over salads or used in cooking. However, much like wine, olive oil is a complex and diverse product with a wide range of flavors, aromas, and qualities. Just as wine enthusiasts revel in the nuances of different vintages and varietals, olive oil aficionados can explore an equally rich spectrum of tastes and characteristics.
