Recipe from: The Passionate Olive

Olive oil can be used in place of butter as a spread.

Use the plastic top of a butter dish or part of an ice cube tray to freeze olive oil, or pour the oil into a plastic bowl or very small rectangular pan and freeze.

When the oil solidifies, store it in the refrigerator.

Use the firm olive oil as a spread instead of butterwhen serving bread, baked potatoes, other vegetables, and anything else on which you usually spread butter—your heart will thank you.
