Redpill me on olive oil, 4chin.
I haven't tasted real olive oil since I was 7 or 8 years old, and I'm 35 nowadays, so I remember almost nothing of how it should looks or taste.
Bought a 1L bottle of extra virgin under brand named De Cecco, Italy. Looks like a reputable manufacturer with almost 200 years of history. By studying this matter a bit I've learned that high quality virgin oil should be stored only in tin/metallic cans and very dark glass bottles. Tried it (a spoonful), has a little bit (very tiny bit) of a bitter taste with a pretty unexpected spicy kick that passes roughly 5~10 seconds after. Is this how high quality virgin oil actually should taste in general, or is this particular brand's quirks? Is De Cecco any good/worthwhile of future purchases? Again - this is the first time in more than 20 years that I've consumed extra virgin olive oil (I've been mainly only using linseed, sunflower, and rapeseed oil until this very day), so I absolutely don't know or remember anything on how it should taste in all actuality. Also - in overall is extra virgin olive oil a le memey, or absolutely worth it? OP pic absolutely related, this is exactly what I've bought.
