Naturally extracted from olives, olive oil is one of the healthiest oils you can use.

This year, when I was curing some green olives, a large percentage of them were infested with larvae from the olive fruit fly. Rather than toss them all, I decided to try making some olive oil from them!

I didn't expect to get a lot of oil but was actually pleasantly surprised.

While making olive oil at home isn't for everybody (it's somewhat labor-intensive), it's not as difficult as you might imagine.

I wouldn't recommend trying to make all of your own olive oil without buying specialized equipment. For occasionally making olive oil from small amounts of olives that would otherwise go to waste, though, this is a worthwhile project. It's also fun to see how to obtain oil from something like olives.
