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)

I don't know about that w/ Soybean oil. I keep a deep fryer outside and once it gets colder it congeals. Pure soybean oil. Again, not like shortening, but it does.

It could be b/c I've deep fried in it. IDK.
