The Moore River Olive Association has produced telephone notepads with 25 Frequently Asked Questions about olives and olive oil on them. They are a great gift, great olive education and useful. Here are some sample FAQ’s – compiled by Richard Gawel:
FAQ No.5 – Do light olive oils contain fewer calories than EVOO ?
No. All olive oils (and indeed all edible oils) have very similar energy values.
Here’s another …
FAQ No.11 – Does the colour of olive oil indicate quality ?
No, not quality but it can tell you other things. It is related to the amount of chlorophyll the oil contains.
