Thread: Hhelp with EVOO

Try putting it on stuff.

btw,

what does extra virgin mean?

Extra virgin olive oil, the cold-pressed result of the first pressing of the olives, is only 1 percent acid. It's considered the finest and fruitiest of the olive oils and is therefore also the most expensive. Extra virgin olive oil can range from a crystalline champagne color to greenish-golden to bright green. In general, the deeper the color, the more intense the olive flavor. After extra virgin, olive oils are classified in order of ascending acidity. Virgin olive oil is also a first-press oil, with a slightly higher level of acidity of between 1 and 3 percent. Fino olive oil is a blend of extra virgin and virgin oils (fino is Italian for "fine"). Products labeled simply olive oil (once called pure olive oil) contain a combination of refined olive oil and virgin or extra virgin oil.

Almost made you vomit? I take multiple Tbsp's of EVOO daily with no problem...it tastes nice and olivey. Maybe it's an acquired taste though, just remember that you're not drinking something thats like vinegar.

If you don't want to chug EVOO like it were whiskey, just take the 1 TBs and pour it onto your eggs/meat/cheese/whatever. Problem solved.

to add to what others have said, is it a NEW bottle of oil? or is it old? EVOO goes rancid after a while (just happened to me and it was NASTY).

Also, most people don't drink it straight up - you add it to your salads and vegetables, cook with it, mix it in with brown rice and salsa, or put it into various foods...

The only oil i've had straight up have been flax seed oil and macadamia nut oil.

You know what? It might be an old bottle. I know it beens sitting in my garage but for how long, i dont know. Ill have to check it.

if you have problems with olive oil I guess you're not taking flax then are you?

I do take flax. The flax seed oil I take is in soft gel caplsules. Why? Does that taste like ass too?
