Extra virgin

olive oil that is. Yesterday coworkers and I went out to lunch to celebrate one's birthday. At the restaurant they had a small bottle of extra virgin olive oil sitting on the table. We discussed why it was extra virgin and wondered what happened to that extra virgin. On the label it said "For nutritional information call 800-825-6633." I wondered what it would tell me, so wrote the number down and called it once I was back at work.

Apparently 800-825-6633 is no longer the number to call for nutritional info on the olive oil. It rang a couple times, then picked up and squealed fax machine in my ear. A very pleasant sound :)

So, no news on the extra virgin or how nutritious it is for us. Which doesn’t really matter since we didn’t eat it…
