Yes right, they changed the name to "spread" so it's all gone away

With added olive/waste oil nowadays.

Yup, that's "olive oil" which is made by scraping up the waste which
would normally be used for compost or winter fuel from the floor of the

de-odorised, partially hydrogenated and added with lecithin and water to
make a "spread". Mmmmmmmm enjoy.
