Which olive oil is best?

[thirtythree]

No lie its getting harder to buy stuff but its worth it. I just use butter and lard at this point

The first press is the best. Olive oil has an interesting history. It stretches back to antiquity throughout the Mediterranean, and they used to press it in big mats several times with several uses. The first, extra virgin was always the primo most prized for food uses, the next press "Virgin" was used for soaps and hair products etc and the last one was used for use in lamps. So not all Olive oils are the same.😊

It isn't just glass. You need to look for dark glass which protects the precious oil from light. Also, look for a single region of origin and not labels which identify multiple regions of origin. Moreover, a good olive oil will offer a harvest date as well as an expiration date. Also, look for a greenish color. If the color is yellow, it's likely a fake. The taste should have an olively, fruity, and peppery taste and it should slightly tickle the throat.

I agree and would add Dark bottle and Single source.

Actually extra virgin olive oil can be heated to high heat and does NOT become carcinogenic because it possesses certain antioxidants that prevents that. It is chemically stable at a high heat and is safe to consume.

I think he means 120°C. Pan 120°C. Oven 200°C. Deep frying 180°C. The smoke point is 207°C.

Coconut oil for cooking, olive oil for salads and dipping.

[garysantiago]

Grass fed Tallow, ghee and butters are best for me.

[DustyRai]

He got somethings only right about olive oil. There is more to olive oil then just packaging & what its says. 80% or more olive oil in USA is either fake or blended with other oils.

I use Terra Delyssa EVOO, it is first cold pressed, single origin, pesticide free, and comes in a dark glass bottle.

Tastes great, you can get a 1L bottle for about $15, which is cheaper per ounce than any comparable EVOO I have found. Less than 50 cents per ounce! The throwaway store brands are around 40 cents.

Even when I was younger I instinctively knew to only buy EVOO in glass. I worked at a grocery store in New Jersey when I was in college and those trailers the groceries come in get so hot in the summer. I always figured if you shouldn’t drink out of a plastic water bottle you left in a hot car then definitely don’t eat food in plastic that’s being transported in hot tractor trailers. ❤

Yes. Glass, small quantities, and from one source

Also important is to make sure it comes from one location! Many olive oils that are also extra Virgin olive oil come from many parts of the world...don't get those.

I've tried many, many olive oils, my favorite is Lucini Premium Select! The best I've ever had !

[PrashantSamlal]

There was an extensive research on a Dutch tv program about this. I can clarify a few things. (The tv program is called Keuringsdienst van Waarde)

All olive oils from today can be heated, extra virgin or not! Even if the packaging says otherwise. That idea comes from back in the day when olive oil contained other things, that made it toxic when heating the oil, but that's not allowed anymore.

The only good olive oil is extra virigin, (that is the only label you should look for). This means that they used olives that were picked from the tree branches. If it doesnt say extra virgin, that means that they used olives that were on the ground, rotten olives, and then combined them and purified it (chemically if I'm not mistaken) so that it becomes a consumable olive oil.

Whoa, a rational and balanced short from Paul Saladino. He's got his shirt on. He's engaging in nuance and practical advice. This is how it's done. Not that click bait liver king style bull crap he's been doing for the last 6 months.
