Thanks, Seth! It’s great to hear you spreading the love for extra virgin olive oil.

It tastes great, you can use it for so many cooking needs, and the health benefits are outstanding. Making it the kitchen go-to oil feels like a great upgrade.

As you know, extra virgin olive oils are not all made equal. If you want the greatest health benefits, look for a single estate, early harvest, ideally from a high polyphenol cultivar (like Picual, Coratina or Koroneiki), with a peppery taste, and in a dark glass bottle. (I wrote more about choosing the best EVOO for health in a follow-up issue).

But then, I think I’m preaching to the choir!
