Things You Didn't Know About Olive Oil (Probably)

About this episode

The episode explores the truths and myths surrounding olive oil with expert Spiro Collias from Crete.

This week, I sat down with Spiro Collias of Collias Estates in Crete, Greece to learn everything I could about olive oil. You always hear tons of rumors about the quality of oil and how it's made, where it comes from, and how maybe the cheap stuff you get at chain stores might not even really be pure olive oil. Well, Spiro helps us put so many of those rumors to bed, teaching us how to pick a great olive oil and so much more. I can't say enough great things about Agia Marina from Collias Estates.
