>>23611976kek it's a pride thing I guess, in the end the top tier quality extra virgin olive oils are not that different from both regions, in olive oil rankings they tend to go back and forth for the top spots, might be a matter of taste. But you don't use those for frying unless you're a millionaire, and they are too strong for that anyway, they would completely overpower the flavor of whatever you're frying.
>>23611963you (and everyone else in the thread) should try a top quality jamon iberico de bellota at least once in their life, I've been to a lot of places and tried a lot of things but nothing comes close to it. Very expensive but worth every cent.
