Bee Wilson looks into the murky world of olive oil.
‘Extra-virgin’ suggests great purity. It sounds even better in Italy, land of superlatives and Madonnas: extravergine. It rolls off the tongue like a prayer. So it’s a shame that much Italian extra-virgin olive oil - perfect oil from the first pressing of olives - is anything [...]

Have all of those crocks of olives that are popping up at supermarkets and specialty stores tweaked your interest?
I know what some of you readers are thinking.
“I hate olives!” Right?
The problem, I find, is that the people who feel this way have only ever tried one variety of olives - the standard green [...]

McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, the Irishman started to leave.
“Excuse me,” said a customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done. “What was that all about?”

Olives appear in one of the earliest cookbooks ever discovered, a 2000-year-old text by a Roman named Apicius.
Olives were so revered in Biblical times that it is said that Moses granted olive growers an exemption from military service. Traditionally, olive oil was the oil burned in Hanukkah lamps. The earliest Olympic flame was a burning [...]
