They were both on sale this week.
Any idea what's what ?
Any idea what's what ?
My EVOO is stored in the dark kitchen pantry until needed, then moved to the lazy susan cabinet next to the stove in the main kitchen for daily use. I rarely keep more than two, 1-liter bottles of EVOO in the house at any time, and with our consumption rate, it never has a chance to go bad. The brand I buy, Belladoro ($6.69/litre) comes in a dark green glass bottle, and is a blend of olives from Italy, Greece & Spain. This makes the EVOO more affordable than a pure Italian product, and still has very good flavor. I stuck on Belladoro after sampling at least a dozen brand names in my kitchen. It's great for finishing and/or dipping with a few herbs added.I've got a couple of questions in regard to olive oil - regular or extra virgin.
How does one keep olive oil, once opened, from going rancid so quickly?
And secondly, how do they tell which ones of those little critters are actually virgins and haven't been around the block a time or two? I've always wondered about that......................
