I am not a lover of [[Margarine|margarine]] or spreads, and always insist on [[Butter|butter]] on my [[Bread|bread]] unless I want to dunk it in [[Olive|olive]] [[Oil|oil]].  Many years ago, I did try a brand of so-called olive oil spread simply because I like olive oil, but it was just so lacking in flavour that the [[Rest|rest]] of tub was binned.  This lack can probably be explained quite simply by the small quantity of olive oil used in these spreads - typically 21-22%.  The largest proportion of oil (34-38%) however, is actually a combination of other [[Oils|oils]] such as [[Rapeseed|rapeseed]] ([[Canola|canola]]), flax, [[Sunflower|sunflower]] or palm. [[Olive oil]] spread indeed!
 
The following is an easy recipe to make your own [[Olive oil|olive oil]] 'spread'.  It is not a spread as such because it contains more than 80% [[Fat|fat]], but can be used as such and does deserve to have '[[Olive|olive]] [[Oil|oil]]' in the title far more so than its processed namesake.
