Time for an Oil Change is my guest post on the Eating Rules website of Andrew Wilder.
As you can see all month I have taken the #unprocessed challenge from Andrew’s website, Eating Rules . This is my second year taking the challenge , last year I wrote an article on Chick-peas. I have been tweeting about this new challenge, adding recipes to help others with their daily recipes, and wrote this article about an area of food I have a strong love for, extra-virgin olive oil.
I had discovered over the months that UC Davis had completed a study on the much needed olive oil standard, after discovering that the extra-virgin olive oils didn’t meet up to the chemistry or the tasting tests given by the panel. Over 79% of the extra-virgin olive oils on the market didn’t pass the standards.

Fantastic article on “Eating Rules”, Mary! xxoo
Thank you so much for the pictures that go with the “oil change”!! I’ve been in Greece (on the Peloponnessos) during the harvest and slided along on the floors of the plants, but I never took any photos… looking at yours I could smell the crushed olives again and feel the heat of the vessels…. It’s SO very hard work, the harvest itself, but worth all the effort 🙂
Yes, I couldn’t believe they still hand-pick the olives and their poor hands are all torn up! But, the olive oil is terrific and yes I can still smell it the aroma!Thank -you for visiting the site! xoxoMary
Thank-you Wendy!
