Popeye would be saddened to discover that a substitution was made for his beloved OliveOil. Or perhaps he would enjoy the change! They say variety is the "spice of life".

The best olive oil is made in California. The oils that you ingest should be of the same quality as fine wines.

(Bob Grant voice) Svacheem!

Pseudo olive oil is usually found at 99 cent stores. Even there, I can find the pure (though not extra virgin) stuff from Lebanon, Turkey, or Syria.

How can they get away with this in Passaic County, where people KNOW real olive oil!

Even I must admit, however, that the best olive oil comes from Greece.

Then again, a Greek/Italian hybrid olive oil can be quite delicious with a Italian/Puerto Rican hybrid woman. ;-)

Forgive me, but I have had too much from the wine cube this evening.

I will admit to the love of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and would be really upset to discover I bought a bottle that had been cut with Soy Bean Oil.

How long is olive oil good? I've had some for an unknown time that I used tonight. It says to store in a cool dark place. I've had it in my cupboard but we had a hot summer. Well, if I die tonight, you guys will know what it was from.

I won't fry with anything but olive oil anymore.

I hope you keep a fire extinguisher ready. The only thing olive oil should be used for is salads. Some Italians put it on pizza but it is not a good idea to heat it up.

It's fine. Italians have fried with it forever. We don't use anything else.

About six months. It should be kept in a dark container in a cool dark place. Near the stove is not a good place ;-)

That some olive oil purveyors would subsitute soybean oil and call it olive oil is an abomination.

Hermes is the Greek god of commerce.

It's analagous to a beer brewery using putting rice into a brew that should only contain water, yeast, hops and barley.

Is that some sort of a Bud bash?

These guys are nuts. You don't screw with one of the Mafia's essential food elements. I'm sure there are some 'made men' in New Jersey who would consider this a 'whacking' offense.

Hear! Hear! I recently became converted to Bariani - an unfiltered artisian olive oil from CA. Compared to it, every olive oil on the grocery store shelf looks like its been diluted with soybean oil, or hazlenut oil, or something.

LOL...

Actually I'm from NY. Born and raised. :D

If I were writing formally I'd have written the latter. I tend to "let my hair down" on these boards.

I don't deep fry anything. I use it only for pan frying and always keep a lid handy because ot the spatter. Now that I recall, that is what they used for lamps in the Bible, wasn't it? Good point.

I use grapeseed oil. It's as good for you as olive oil is. I buy it online.
Like olive oil, it has a low burn point (i think that's what it's called) and is excellent for frying, although frying is not excellent for you.

Come on, some guys love soybean oil, for that extra estrogen kick a man needs.

Easy test to determine whether you have real olive oil or a substitute.

Put it in the refrigerator.

Real olive oil will congeal. Not to Crisco but thicken.

Soy, peanut, etc won't.

(saw that on TV recently)
