Where I come from, we use sunflower for all our cooking.... Olive oil here is used for prayer and fasting.... And for other spiritual rituals

I came to realise other countries use olive oil for cooking when I started learning to bake.

Surfing the internet for recipes to improve my baking skills introduced me to the many practical uses of olive oil in terms of food

From my previous experience, olive oil sounds odd to be used in the kitchen..... I still haven't tried it, I am skeptical about how the flavor will align

But it's great that you've come to appreciate it even more than your prior encounter with this oil, and you have learned to find harmony among it tree too

I wish you luck in the challenge....
Nice photos by the way
