Default Olive Oils

What brand of olive oil do you use for regular cooking/sautéing? I see
that Consumer Reports is recommending Goya for everyday use? What are
your thoughts on that brand?

Thanks! I have used Bertolli and Colivita before but I always end up
getting someone confused by the array of choices when I go to buy more.

I ran across this as well:

I think that Colavita is the best of the commonly available brands. Goya is
quite good too in my opinion.

That's a good choice. Trader Joe's cold pressed Italian extra virgin
is also good for regular use.

If it's going onto something without being cooked, I use a more
expensive oil, almost always a Ligurian one. But tastes at
the high end differ.

Trader Joe's Calamata EVOO.

Dimitri

Kalamata or Calamata olives are dark eggplant-colored Greek olives. The are
usually packed in olive oil or vinegar, and are frequently slit so they
absorb the flavor of the wine vinegar marinade in which they are soaked.
They should have a rich and fruity flavor.

Yup. I've always wondered why people pay 20 times more for an Italian
olive oil of the same caliber. I do remember reading in the NYT of how
much olive oil Spain sells to Italy. But I don't know what grade? I have
tasted excellent EVOO from Italy, but they were very $$$. Luckily, they
was given to me as a gift.

I use Goya's EVOO for salads, et cetera. And use corn oil for deep
frying; butter for the rest.

I love olive oil; but I do remember getting saturated with the stuff on
a trip to Greece. I left the country promising never to use olive oil
again : ) I don't think there was a food item that they did not add
olive oil to. Don't get me wrong; I love Greek food and their culture
very much.

Really? I always considered Bertolli to be among the worst.
For a mass-market brand (i.e. something you can get in any
supermarket), I like Star. But I'd say Trader Joe's house
brands are the best low-cost olive oils.

Adulteration with cheaper oils is a major problem with
olive oils. I'm satisfied that Trader Joe's is the real thing.

>>> What brand of olive oil do you use for regular cooking/sautéing?


Extra-virgin olive oil is primarily for uncooked uses (dressings, marinades,
etc.) where you especially want the EV flavor. For high temp frying a
"lite" or plain olive oil would be more suitable. Some people object to
"pomace", but most of the commercial kitchens I have worked use it for
frying/sauteeing unles you really want the perfumey flavor of extra-virgin.
EVOO has a fairly low smoke-point compared to some other mono-unsaturated
oils.

Well, I guess that I'll try some others. We don't have a T.J's in=20
these parts and I've also never seen Star, but I'm sure that someone=20

Exposure to light is one of the ways to accelerate olive oil deterioration...
which is why the larger quantities are almost always packaged in cans.... and
the most popular olive oil dispensors are of metal. Even under the best
storage conditions (no excessive heat/light, even refrigerated) olive oil shelf
life is at best two years... don't buy more than you can use within 1 year,
especially so with the more costly specimens... there's really no saving in
buying a large amount even if it's at a lower cost per unit if you need to
tolerate rancid oil half way through or have to toss it. Extra virgin is meant
for dressing the finished dish, NOT for cooking... well, except those with more
dollars than brain cells.

I've never seen Goya Olive Oil, although most stupidmarkets
around here have many of other their "Latino Essentials",
especially canned juices and vegetables:

I put Adobo (whether Goya or another brand,) and Sazon in the same
category as buying chicken bullion and attempting to make stock with
that. All you are buying is salt (mainly) and other spices that you can
buy and make yourself.

Most Latino moms cooks would never add that stuff to their dishes. My
Cuban mother always added freshly cracked cumin, peppers, anojo, and
fresh cilantro to whatever she cooked.

(mostly)Every single one of you, whether you like to admit it or not
have and use chicken bullion cubes. Adobo is great when cooking up a can
of Goya black beans with added garlic and onions slightly mashed with a
potato masher and served with warm tortillas... It's a fine 'quick fix'.

Sazon contains MSG which whether you admit it or not makes just about
anything taste better. Fresh ground Cumin and Cilantro are great but
time and/or inventory doesn't always permit...

I have no bouillon cubes or Sazon, etc in the house. Never have,=20
period. My sister uses that crap and I dread going there for dinner=20
even though I do and never say a word about it. (to her)

(Mostly)......No, I don't like to admit it. or I do... or DO I???
LOL I haven't a single cube of chicken bullion anywhere around here.
I don't care for the flavor-enhancing character of MSG either.....
