I’m Greek descent - so I use a lot of olive oil, I tend to buy it in a 3 liter can. I usually buy mine at the Greek market. I like Iliada Kalamata Olive Oil. Greeks like different olive oils for different purposes. During lent when no animal products are allowed, they make baklava with olive oil. But for me, the Iliada is the best all-purpose. I wish they labeled olive oils here like they do in Greece and Italy - with the acidity level on the label.

I have heard people mention that the metal cans can give a flavor if used for long-term storage. Personally, I would not expect that *but only because the cans are typically lined with "forever chemicals" and other chemicals that are not good for you.* They can leach into your food. What's your experience with flavor eventually getting affected by the metal can? I am guessing you have not seen this problem.

One of the biggest labeling things to watch out for, that Jack did not mention, when buying olive oil is when the bottle has Olive Oil Blend written on it, most of the time it is a blend of olive oil and a less expensive oil, like soybean oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, or safflower oil. Usually what they do is they write "Olive Oil Blend" in big letters on the bottle, and then you have to get a magnifying glass to read "Blend of Olive Oil and Soybean Oil". Another example of deceptive labeling I saw was a label on Iberia brand "Premium Blend" Olive oil. They wrote Sunflower Oil & Extra Virgin Olive Oil on a dark green label, and they wrote Extra Virgin Olive Oil in gold colored letters, and they wrote Sunflower Oil in black lettering which made Sunflower oil difficult to read against the dark green label.

Just to add, blending or "bait and switch" is extremely commmon in this industry even without the explicit "blend" labeling. Almost 80% of domesticly bottled / imported 100% EVOOs in US stores have been found to be a blend of more than 2 oils that are not from olives. Plus these food testing lab technolgies are usually a decade or so behind manufacturers', so you should expect the scam to be even worse today. The only way for us consumers to know is to try the "real" 100 local stuff from a small estate in Italy/Spain/Greece etc, remember that taste, and compare it to anything store bought. Or look up "comparison taste tests" from the real experts. I have found Pasta Grammar and Vincenzo Plate videos to be particularly helpful.

Jack and ATK changed their tune a bit on EVOO. I recall just 2 years ago when Jack said it was a "very bad sign" if the label listed a bunch of different countries of origin. They said California Olive Ranch brand was their winning choice partly because back then it was sourced from and bottled in one single region. It's why I pay more for COR's "100% California" oil instead of buying the cheaper "Destination Series" oil. It's fine if Jack and ATK change their mind about traits they think we should be looking for in a product, but at least address why they changed their mind. Why is it now okay to buy oil that is blended from several different sources when it wasn't advisable just 2 years ago?

It can be misleading. They’ve gotten better with the labeling over the years but I remember when the “global” version first came out, it was difficult to distinguish the oil that was solely from California from the one from multiple sources. You really had to pay attention which was hard to do when you’re in a rush grocery shopping.

You can freeze EVOO and it will stay good-as-new. It turns into a beautiful buttery consistency. So when you find some that's really good, you can buy a lot, and fill jars as full as you can and freeze it. If you want to find out if your EVOO is really EVOO, put a bit in the fridge, it should turn cloudy. That's not the only, or the best test, but it's the easiest and cheap oils will fail. Other oils, such as peanut oil will cloud, but pure EVOO definitely will get so cloudy you can't see through it- so if it doesn't get cloudy- it probably doesn't even have EVOO in it.

I live in Spain and we are surrounded by the Mediterranean and Alboran seas, Atlantic Ocean, The Straight of Gibraltar and of course the sea of olive oil. I moved to Spain in 1992 and quickly learned the importance of this wonderful liquid (Lorenzo's Oil) in a mediterranean diet. The king or queen of olive oil is AOVE sin filtar (Aceite Oliva Virgin Extra sin filtrar). I buy it in 5L jugs, when available, (usually in November, as olives are harvested in September and October) something I do not think you can find UNFILTERED extra virgin olive oil in American supermarkets because of its reduced shelf life and a thick olive oil perhaps, is not appealing to American consumers. Whatever the case may be, the taste is extraordinary with hints of a freshly squeezed fruit which leaves a very intense bitterness and itching on the palate as well as a very distinctive aftertaste of fruity nuances. The taste cannot be compared to what is found in American supermarkets. In Spain there are more than 15 varieties of olives that are used to make oil, each one with its distinctive characteristics and it is not uncommon to find the name of the variety printed on the bottle label.

What is strange in the US about oils is how supermarkets set up an olive bar. They have only a few olive types, but manage to serve them in a few different mixes and preparations (e.g., with garlic) so it looks like more variety. More odd is the reality that very people buy them. It is like they are there to create a mood, a setting of indulgence and freshness. They take up useful space, though, so I wish that trend had never started.

There are millions of people starving around the world and western civilizations bore themselves with foods and need to invent this that and the other like food stupidity and cooking shows.

I did a little looking at the oil I buy most often. Kroger's own EVOO oil. It does come in dark green bottles with a lid that closes and depending on my budget that day, it can be a smaller bottle, or a larger one, and right now, I have about half of a bottle of the 1.18Qt bottle sitting in the pantry, but I decant to a cruet that sits by the stove and that's poured into most dinners for cooking. I do that as one, it's easier to regulate how much I pour each time. The screw cap of the bottles, no matter the brand barely work once opened, so the threads are crap. That and they tend to glug more than they drizzle. The cruet has a pour spout for that purpose. For a neutral oil, I use either Canola or veggie oil instead if not with butter, but usually drizzle a bit of olive oil to reduce the burning tendencies of butter. It is cold pressed, EVOO and it has a cryptic code date for the regions the olives come from, which are several countries, and the current bottle has olives from both Tunisia and Spain. I'm guessing the olives were picked either last year, or earlier this year, with a best by date April of '23. Mind you, I'll be done with that oil long before then as I will refill the cruet every few weeks and this bottle was purchased I think last month if I recall. I have also gotten Betrolli too, and maybe California a time or 3, depending on price/what's on sale. I find the Kroger not as biting as some in flavor, and I have had EVOO that was a bit more peppery or grassy and maybe one that had hints of butter notes in the past. I used to buy them by the large cans, often for $20 or so at a local importer shop when I still lived in Seattle. it was the same place to get a Lb of the real deal Parmesan Reggiano cheese for something like $15.99 a Lb, often can snag a 3/4 lb for $10-12. I tend to avoid virgin and refined olive oils or anything with lite or light as either it's light in calories, or flavor, depending on the spelling and most of the time, it's left me wanting.

Enigmaa5195 - correct. Cook with butter, tallow, lard or any natural fat from an animal, but no plant or seed oils. ATK should know that seed oil like canola, palm, safflower, etc., etc.,including olive should be left out of the diet as they are the real cause of illness.

Seek brands tht use one source not multiple sources for the Oil bc regions matter and don't really fry with EVOO smoke point is too low it isnt slightly bitter and spicey isn't good at all

As usual, read the label. As in, actually read what it says is in the container. The only way to cut through the crap is to find a trusted source. We get our olive oil from a woman who went to school with our daughter. She sells the product of her family’s groves in the Peloponnese that are processed and bottled by a local coop. Wonderful olive oil.

OMG good I was hoping you weren’t gonna say Bertolli is crap. Been my fave since I was a kid. I’m gonna go grab some bread now and dip away.

We use Bertolli light olive oil to make mayo because we don't want the taste of olive oil to overwhelm. Is light olive oil still good for you (or at least better than canola)?

Good Olive oil has low acidity. Good Olive oil has its acidity specified on the label. It is generally lower than 0 ,5%.

Wow, I do believe you know what you are talking about... But when you add heat to an EVOO you lose many of the flavor components, correct? If you use an "olive oil" or a "pumace oil" you get most of the same fats and you are not waisting your money on the flavor that is burned off, correct? Thanks!

So, what's the difference between Virgin olive oil and non-Virgin oil? Is one good for cooking and the other better for salad dressing and dipping?

Ariston makes the best olive oil, the plain one not the flavored ones. If you want a pure, great tasting olive oil look for “First Cold Pressed” on the label.

California Olive Ranch, while a good brand you don’t want the destination series, you want the 100% California as the destination series is sourced all over the globe with less quality control.

I was at the point of separating extra virgin olive oil from the fake olive oil. Like if it doesn't get solid in the refrigerator it might be ok. (Is that true) It seems that when I find an oil I like in a few years the next bottle is not as good as it use to be. I use it mostly on popcorn with Zaatar and sliced apples.

Nope. The refrigerator test is totally bogus. There are plenty of types of oil that will solidify in a refrigerator and many high quality EVOO that will not. It is also dependent on the temperature you keep your fridge at.

Multiple videos mention that 18 months is about as old as you want your oil to be. I've had much older, but it always tasted horrible. (Sometimes a man has to eat even if his only ingredients suck.) I think another thing to consider is how long the bottle sat while at least half-empty or with a loose top. Once you let a lot of oxygen in the bottle, the rancidity starts to settle in more quickly. (Though, the oil can go bad without ever being opened to the air.)

Can I transfer it to plastic squirt bottle? Will that effect the flavor? Don't they do that in restaurants.
