Olive oil

Am I the only person that dislikes olive oil? I just don’t like the flavor. There’s a shop in the nearby town I shop in, that sells imported olive oil, flavor infused, EVOO, regular olive oil and vinegars. My husband eats his salad with just olive oil and black pepper on it. I made smashed baby red potatoes on Sunday, and couldn’t even finish one potato. I don’t think it’s the quality of the oil, cuz I have tasted samples at the shop and found none of them pleasing to me. So, back to canola oil for me.

I love olive oil, but it has a very distinct taste so it makes sense that not everyone would care for it. Nothing is universally liked!4

I've never met someone who doesn't like it, but you can't possibly be the only one in the world. *shrug*0

It definitely has a more pungent flavor that I could see people not liking, so there are probably others out there that dislike it. Me, on the other hand - if I ever needed to pound down 3000 calories in a sitting for whatever reason, I'd reach for some baguette and EVOO. That stuff is good and goes down easy.6

A buddy of mine hates it.
An unchecked amount of olive oil definitely contributed to my weight gain. I adore the stuff.0 -
I hate coffee. Your dislike of olive oil pales in comparison, based on the shocked reactions I've received when revealing that shameful truth about myself

Ghosts don't drink coffee anyway so it is the same amount!2 -
You don't have to use olive oil. Use whatever you like. I love coconut oil, but it's not for everything.0

Three times. I despise coffee! I have nearly been shunned by coworkers for my refusal to drink it. I do, however, love olive oil.3 -
I love it, but there's always someone who dislikes everything, and I don't think it's that unusual to dislike olive oil.1

I love olive oil. You can try grapeseed or avocado oil as an alternative.1

My coworkers give me the confused "oh" when I tell them. Then I laugh evilly when they're out of coffee and trying to commiserate with me about it because they forgot I don't like it. I am not impacted by your predicament, dear coffee drinkers! I shall drink my diet coke all the way to my desk!1 -

Does it count if I don't like coffee but i drink a lot of it because i really like sweetened coffee-flavored cream?
I do like olive oil but was only introduced to it as an adult. My mom cooked exclusively with crisco

Legit if I need extra calories from fat at the end of the day I’ll just pour some EVOO in a shotglass and shoot it lol0

I don't think it tastes like anything, weird! That's the reason why I don't care for it-don't want to waste calories on something with no flavor lol.0 -

For me it's most noticeable during cooking. Smelling anything sauteeing in olive oil is like instant appetite, even if I just ate
But I can easily see how the strong smell could be unpleasant to some people. 0 -

Agreed! With the exception of a few cold applications, it's almost neutral. Sesame oil, now that's where it's at flavourtown wise.1 -
Cheap olive oil is tasteless - in more than one way.0
