Olive Oil
We say things like "add olive oil," "mix with olive oil,""toss with olive..."
What olive oil you choose to use depends on how luxe you want your dish to be.
Extra virgin for more luxe, kitchen olive oil for less.
Some guidelines:
Dressings that aren't heated require extra virgin.
Lots of oil used, save a buck and use the kitchen oil.
Grades:
