It's likely you know less about olive oil than you think you do. If you are picking up a three gallon jug from your local grocery store without checking the label first you may be surprised when you taste freshly-harvested, fresh-pressed olive oil for the first time. In addition to being great tasting, olive oil is a healthy, plant-based fat that can easily be incorporated into a keto diet. To find out more about the differences between low-quality and high-quality olive oils, Drew speaks with 'The Olive Oil Hunter' T.J. Robinson. Once a chef at the Biltmore Estate and a behind the scenes creator at the Food Network, T.J. now travels the world discovering the freshest, best tasting olive oil producers. During this episode, T.J. shares the proper way to assess olive oil, the health benefits of using fresh, unadulterated oils, and how to incorporate it into everyday cooking. Plus, he gives Fit2Fat2Fit podcast listeners a special offer.
