I've experimented with olive oil and liked it but found that it only
really works if you are having food shipped to you.  If you are purchasing
along the way it is really really hard to refill a 6oz bottle of olive oil.
You just can't find small bottles of olive oil in the grocery store.

You either have to split a purchase with other hikers, toss out most of
the olive oil, carry a huge bottle, yogi some from trail angel, etc.

Hmm.  Maybe olive oil would be a nice bulk item for trail angels to
have handy similar to the way that alcohol fuel is often available in
small quantities.
