So much convenient snippage! It appears Bruce was replying to me. I'm
the one who wrote I think the use of olive oil is overrated.

I don't avoid olive oil, I simply don't use it for every little thing
that calls for oil. Sometimes (like the veal dinner you posted about)
olive oil works very well. It has a high smoke point. Pan seared, not
deep fried. It probably doesn't matter if it's first or third press
since there is very little oil needed.
