the taste of olive oil is amazing once you've tasted it. i find it nurturing and very intoxicatingly good. I resort to it whenever I have a sweet tooth as a healing tool.

It can be used like you use any other cooking oils except you can use olive oil uncooked too! Just add a few tbs. to your salads or your foods that have been cooked. I was very skeptical with the health benefits that experts were claiming of olive oil, until I've used it myself. it made a big difference in my life. i'm not afraid to use oils anymore. my skin is now smooth and clear. i substitute olive oil for mayonnaise and salad dressings and my cravings went away. it's easily digested and does not feel 'greasy' at all. it's just fattening enough to satisfy my cravings.

tips: buy extra virgin olive oil (they are the best ones) to use cooked or uncooked.
