Olive Oil
Olive oil is an oil that is derived from the olive fruit, which is a traditional crop of the Mediterranean Basin. Olive oil is used in cooking, pharmaceuticals, soaps, fuel, and cosmetics. It is very popular in Italian dishes and salads. The first people known to use olive oil were the Neolithic people of the 8th millennium BC.

Is olive oil a colloid suspension or a solution?
Yes.
All colloids are suspensions but not all suspensions are colloids.
A colloidal suspension consists of particles small enough that they will not settle out of the material in which they are suspended.
Oil can be emulsified with a surfactant e.g., detergent to form an emulsion, a type of colloidal suspension. An example of this form of oil/water mixture is mayonnaise.
Homogenization of the butterfat (oil) in milk prevents the butterfat from layering out as you would see in un-homogenized (straight from the cow) milk.
Compare those two systems (mayonnaise and milk) to Italian dressing. No matter how hard or long you shake the bottle, in a short time the oil rises to the top. For a time, the oil was suspended but the droplet size never approached the size needed to form a colloid. See what happens if you put a drop of dishwashing detergent in the bottle of dressing before you shake it...but, don't put it on your salad.

Where did Popeye's olive oil come from?
Course o42, more properly 42 degrees, II minutes North. Fair Italy. She was obviously an Italian Girl, though not the Lollobrigidienne pattern.
Is olive oil better to cook in then vestable oil?
Olive oil is known for being healthier to cook in, but it cannot withstand as much heat as vegetable oil. It will burn onto the pan. Olive oil is better used once cooking is almost done, or on raw vegetables - such as spritzing on a salad.
Olive oil can be used for frying, but not high heat frying. Peanut oil, which is also a very healthy mono-unsaturated oil smokes, and burns at a much higher temperature than even some vegetable oils.
Extra Virgin olive oil is highly flavorful, and very good on salads. Regular olive oil has some olive taste, but is very good for cooking. Extra light has very little flavor. All can be used for light frying.
Is tea tree oil the same as olive oil?
Not at all. Tea Tree oil is an extremely fragrant oil used in lotions, shampoo, for massage oil, skin treatment/ointment, etc... It is sometimes used in foods in very small quantities, but is toxic in higher doses. I wouldn't not recommend eating it.
Olive oil on the other hand is made from olives and is primarily a food product. It is used for cooking, preserving (cheeses, vegetables, etc...) and can be eaten by itself or on bread with parmesan cheese and black pepper. Extra-Virgin olive oil has the best flavor for dipping, and many prefer it for cooking.
