There
is nothing more that I love than dipping warm crusty bread into olive
oil, or making a quick and easy pesto. I’ve even tried olive oil ice
cream, I’m not going to lie it wasn’t to my liking. however, it shows there is so much more you can use olive oil for.
Not only do I use olive oil to cook with, I also use it on my body. It’s great for removing make up with, used as part of a homemade hair mask/conditioner and moisturising cuticles.Some people drink a teaspoon in the morning as a tonic!
