It's interesting. Here in spain most things are made with olive oil and if you don't eat trash food, the load you get from seed oils is minimum. I know it's not the same story in Finland. Butter in here is almost non existent.

I looked at the ingredients of pestos at a local supermarket and found one out of a dozen that didn't have rapeseed or sunflower seed oil – they are included in so many groceries that aren't raw ingredients that they are really hard to avoid here if you don't pay attention or make everything from scratch.
Olive oil is alright if its extra virgin (cold pressed), because it has much more monounsaturated fat which is chemically more stable against oxidization than polyunsaturated ones.
In pesto aswell? Holy cow, the original recipe actually calls olive oil 🙈 Over here we're in a situation where tuna in olive oil is cheaper than in sunflower oil, the war has definitely caused havoc
I know, right! Some pestos had no olive oil whatsoever!
That is almost a scam 😟
