Uy, pwede palang magbenta ng tingi-tinging olive oil dyan. We go to COSTCO and buy 3 liters of California olive oil for $13. This is for frying and baking(higher flash point). The extra virgin is $20+ for 3 liters, to much for personal consumption. We get the EVOO for salads from Trader Joe’s is $8(1 liter), I don’t know where it’s from but it tastes very fruity and fresh. The extra virgin olive oil shouldn’t be kept more than a year, so the trick getting it as close to the production time as possible to enjoy it.

I’m not a fan of expensive cooking ingredients but my sis insists I buy her a bottle of Olive Oil for our mom’s upcoming birthday celebration. I went to the grocery yesterday and to my dismay, the stuff they sell are pricey and I have only 200 pesos with me. I found in the bargain section a discounted bottle of olive pomace oil. It’s less than 200 pesos so I can still buy a bar of chocolate. I texted my sister and asked if I can buy that instead of the olive oil but she still insisted I buy exactly what she asked for. Naghagilap tuloy ako ng barya sa bag just so I can buy a bottle of it. Buti may pamasahe pang natira sa akin.
Is there really a difference between olive and olive pomace oil? I mean they both are made from olives and they look the same to me but the former is only pricier.
After reading your article, mas lalo nakaka-alangan bumili. Kahit may mga marked down na ring olive oil maybe because malapit na yun mag-expire.

There is fruity taste associated with olive oil. That is why it (extra virgin) is excellent for salad and and bread dip. Once you have been using olive oil, you probably don’t want to go back to the other oils, except if it is too pricey.

Since we are 100% Pinoy, forget for a while the bread and salad. So we always look for rice, right? Yep! My favorite use of olive oil is for fried rice, pork adobo, ribeye steak (in worcestershire sauce) and home style sardines. It is just pure heaven. There is the sweet aroma of olive and its flavor.

I use olive oil…or let’s just put it this way, i breathe olive oil and because of this i can tell when olive is mixed with something else. real pure extra virgin olive oil is heaven.

as well as people need to be educated on the use of olive oil. its not just for cooking, but for salads (in lieu of those fatty mayo based dressing), for bread (together with balsamic vinegar or even with just a bit of salt and pepper for dips), so vegies (use again for dressing or dip) and just for everything else including facial wrap with avocado and almonds.
