While on our Wine Walk<\/a> in downtown Paso Robles, we made a stop into a little shop called We Olive<\/a>.\u00a0 What\u2019s that, you ask?\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s a shop that specializes in all things olive!\u00a0 They\u2019ve got everything from olive tapenade, to olive-based skin care, to olive oils.\u00a0 The coolest thing is that you can do an olive oil tasting, and get an idea of the different kinds of oils and their flavor characteristics.<\/p>\n

Olive oil tasting was similar to wine tasting, in that there are a lot of subtle, and not-so subtle flavors that show themselves in the oils.\u00a0 Depending on what type of olive, where it was grown, and how the oil was made all make a big difference in the flavors.\u00a0 Then you throw in the flavored oils and you\u2019ve got an even broader bunch of tastes.\u00a0 Some oils are more mellow and just slide down your throat, and some are more pungent and spark a tinge on your tongue.\u00a0 You\u2019ll get a little splash of oil in a cup to try, don\u2019t be afraid.\u00a0 They\u2019ll also let you wander around the store and taste all kinds of treats, everything is open to sample!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Olive oil has numerous health benefits, including being packed with anti-oxidants and \u201cgood\u201d cholesterols.\u00a0 You can use olive oil to cook with, to dress salads, make marinades, dip breads, and just drizzle over pastas, vegetables, and meats for added flavor.<\/p>\n
