The first time I tried high quality olive oil was at at an Italian restaurant. The oil was delivered with a piece of freshly baked bread and a small container of salt flakes.
When I tasted it I thought it was unreal. It was that good.
I don't remember the restaurant or even where it was, but do remember the tasting experience!

One is McDonalds dry; the other is Michelin star silk.
- jnurmine 8y agoYes, exactly! The hummus comparison is spot on. Another example: supermarket guacamole (that green weird-tasting paste) vs. guacamole from real avocados freshly made.
