Some interesting information here from David Gillespie about the different oils we use  . . .

I think we all knew this anyway. Nothing new here.  What oil you use really comes down to what flavour you want .

Thanks GF.  I love a good Olive oil.  We are lucky that we have quite a lot of good producers in our area.  It is amazing the difference in taste. At the Farmers Markets you can taste before you buy.

It seems "oils ain't oils”.

I have about 50 mls left in a bottle and so Iwill be "breeching"the cask this week.  It is the organic conversion virgin , what ever that is. LOL I paid $20 plus delivery which is not  bad.  At least it is Australian and has not been transported from Spain or Italy in a tanker by ship.
