Why are some olive oils very spicy, some buttery? More interested in why so spicy sometimes. I never thought of an olive as being something that’s spicy. Thanks!

I don’t think any olive oil would be “spicy” by itself, that’s probably due to the oil being infused with peppers or other spicy foods.
As to “buttery”, some oils are produced from different olives, or different pressings, and the characteristics of the oil may vary, producing flavors that might be considered “buttery” or “mild”.
