One time I was staring very hard at all the dozens of olive oils in the grocer and an old man walked up to me and whispered, "Just go eenie-meenie-miney-moe" which tbh is my actual strategy.
ha old man otmi pretty much stopped eating cheese because i can not get invested enough in choosing which is which

one day I am going to stand in front of the cheese counter and let the cheeses overwhelm all my sensory inputs until the only thing in my brain is cheese
then I will zenlike select a cheese and bring it to the counter

i buy the cheap generic store brand for cooking, and then get whatever fancy-pants shit they currently have on tap at my local fancy-pants food store for drizzling

my diner uses only olive oil
― surm, Tuesday, 8 November 2011 02:04 (twelve years ago) link
but is it really olive oil
― ASPIE Rocky (dayo), Tuesday, 8 November 2011 02:04 (twelve years ago) link
you can rearrange the letters of olive to form veoil or as I like to call it v.e. oil (very expensive oil)

i use "spanish" olive oil from TJs for drizzling and their regular extra virg oo for various cooking needsor i just wring the oil from the olives with my bare hands if i am having guests over
― Yasmine Teeth (La Lechera), Tuesday, 8 November 2011 02:06 (twelve years ago) link
sometimes I'll invite guests to take their shoes off and stomp olives in the bathtub
for everday cooking i use industrial-grade extra virgin from Italy @ $9 per liter
for bread dipping I buy better stuff. favorite brand is Frantoia, Italian, not their most expensive, green, rich & fruity. $22/litre. my son sponges this stuff up so I don't go more expensive,
like to try other oils, Spanish is good esp Arbequina which is lighter, golden, buttery

Right now I fucks with Alidoro Extra Virgin Olive Oil because it was $3.99/liter at the nearby Mexi-mart. Reading this thread and trying to find out about it, I found this site: http://www.delphifruits.com/test-results.html. More than passable for the price.

I always thought quality EVOO was not for cooking/heating. Its too expensive, and too strongly flavoured. Use the lighter 2nd-3rd press for cooking (or really, dont use OO at all, I use ricebran oil it has a nice high smoke point). EV is purely for drizzlin/dressings/preserving antipasto bits.
IMHO, anyway. Also, I can taste the diff between spanish and italian, and I dont know what it is exactly, but i dont like spanish.

I think my opinion w/r/t highest quality olive oil has a lot of overlap w/ my opinion w/r/t high end wine
― iatee, Sunday, 12 February 2012 01:11 (twelve years ago) link
During the reporting for the story, I immersed myself in the subject, discovering a historic, cultural, religious, anthropological, and—yes—criminal depth to olive oil that seemed to deserve fuller treatment in a book.
how much olive oil could the average person read?
