Laura and Nalini take a deep dive into the topic of Spanish olives. As the world’s leading producer of the savoury fruit, olives and olive oil are an integral part of Spain’s culture. The duo discuss their recent visit to a renowned producer of extra-virgin olive oil, Masía el Altet, where they discovered more about the cultivation and harvesting of olives, which included downing ‘shots' of olive oil! 
 
 In the regular Slice of Life section, the ladies sample seven different types of olives paired with ‘dirty Martinis’ made from gin, vermouth and, unusually, olive brine. They also discuss their recent international travels: Nalini to Tetouan, Morocco and Laura to Cape Town, South Africa
