Yes, that's exactly what I do again sort of that middle of the road olive oil at you're going to be fine if you're olive oil is good to your palate. I actually don't like Christini to be really spicy with olive oil. I think that bread and that toasting sort of brings out that spicy grassy mustardy quality in really pungent olive oils. So and I also like to basically deep fry my Christini by deep fry. I mean like totally SOG the bread with oil before I bake it so that they're sort of frying and crisping all in it. That's how I like to make Christina. So they're really I mean, they're explosively crunchy is the way I like them. So just from a cost perspective. Yeah go with the middle of the road stuff.
