Interesting?

I was negotiating what Oxford laughingly calls its "by-pass" at the
time; but I gathered that the oil, fresh from the mill, has a
delicious and complex nutty smell, and what sounded like a fetchingly
absurd colour which couldn't decide whether it was green or deep
purple. There was talk of omega six or something, too.

I can't tell you what the fresh-pressed stuff is like, but the
bottled stuff is quite good. Ignore the purple prose - anyone with
half a clue about colours knows that they are complementary.
