Was this Italian olive oil cut with canola oil, as most Italian olive oil is these days?

how’s it taste?
“4,000-Year-Old Jar Contains Italy’s Oldest Olive Oil”
Now contrast this with some other cultures who, still to this day, are living like primitive savages
Yes, but was it “extra virgin”?
4,000 year old virgin...?
If we could only find a 4000 year old salad to pour it on. Ummm...that would be good eating. I lived in Rimini Italy for several years in the 70s and the first thing I learned was that real Italian food is nothing like Italian food served in America. I learned to love it though and gained more weight than I should have. My favorite was and still is Spaghetti Carbonara. Rimini is well know by Italians as the home of the best carbonara. I have tried to replicate it in America but face it, you just can’t find the best pancetta in Alabama, just a good salted pork is the closest I have come. They do love their olive oil and the pour it on almost everything. I could deal with that on everything except the way they would drown a pizza with it so it was “sensa olio” for me. Ahh, Olive Oil, it brings back so many fond memories.
