    Only issue with Amazon is that you can't check the best before date before buying. Olive oil is best when fresh.

      Bought this from Amazon in the last month, the expiry was Nov 2022

      This is true, it degrades And goes rancid with time. You should aim for a 2 year expiry, anything less and it’s been in storage, so use faster.

  • dreamykitten on 22/08/2021 - 10:56

    How well are they packaged with liquid and glass products like this?

      Bubble wrapped 2 layers thick and stuffed with paper in the box. Not unbreakable but should handle small knocks and bumps

      In Victoria, they are sealed in clear bags to prevent leakage in box in addition to recycled paper to fill box

  • No Child Support on 22/08/2021 - 11:11

    Can you use EVOO to cook or is it more for dressing?

    • [Deactivated] on 22/08/2021 - 11:12

      I use it for most things except shallow/deep frying. Like frying eggs, stir fry, in pasta sauces, and in dressings. It's smoking point is 190–207°C so it's good for a lot of things.

    • Orico on 22/08/2021 - 11:31
      +2

      EVOO is for dressing salads and pastas and Mediterranean food. The minute you heat it up to high temperatures in frying or long periods of cooking is when the fatty acids/unsaturated fats start breaking down and it changes the flavour. Sometimes I think it tastes almost bitter.

      Don't use it for South Asian food unless you want to be super health conscious. Use other vegetable oils like mustard, coconut, canola, sunflower etc. I use canola for frying, sunflower/mustard for curries and olive oil for everything else like Middle-eastern food, Aussie staples, Italian, Greek etc.

      For Asian food, sesame oil, sunflower and peanut oil seems to do the trick. I'm not East or SE Asian so maybe someone else can chime in.

      I'm yet to find a good oil for frying steaks but these ones are fine:
      When cooking steak in cast iron skillets, you want to use a type of oil that has a high smoke point. For example, peanut oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil, and avocado oil are ideal

      • eraser215 on 22/08/2021 - 12:22

        Tell western Europe about that and see what they say…

      • bargainshooter on 22/08/2021 - 13:47

        Virgin Olive oil has a low smoking point, so yes it's not great for super high heat. But super high heat destroys many nutrients anyway.

        Higher smoking point oils include peanut, grapeseed and canola, however canola is the worst of the bunch as it often goes through a chemical extraction process (yuck) - unless it's cold pressed, which most are not.

        • findingbargains on 23/08/2021 - 20:23

          Not to mention the danger that industrially produced polyunsaturated plant oils pose to our health in terms of causing inflammation and contributing to heart disease and diabetes. Exact opposite of what they were telling us is "healthy" for the last 30 years.

    Currently on 1/2 price sale at Woolworths, and cheaper per 100ml than the above special, is 500ml bottles of Red Island Cold Pressed Olive Oil Extra Virgin. Personally, I prefer the Red Island brand for taste, and their bottles for ease of pouring.

  • zealmax on 22/08/2021 - 11:27

    How does this compare to Aldi organic olive oil? This seems to cost more.

    • Orico on 22/08/2021 - 11:37

      Aldi Oil is junk.
      This is Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil which is homegrown and the best Olive Oil in the world imo.

      • nepalesesquirrel on 22/08/2021 - 12:22
        +3

        Aldi sell at least 2 Australian "homegrown" EVOO's. Good quality IMHO.

    • bargainshooter on 22/08/2021 - 12:16
      +2

      The Aldi organic brand oil is fine but produced overseas. They also sell a non organic-certified Australian grown oil, which is pretty good as well. Australian grown oils are considered better (for Australian because there is a shorter time between harvest, pressing and retail sale (no long storage before shipping in containers, etc). More of the beneficial nutrients are retained when harvest to use is shorter.

      Cobram is a great oil but so are many of the other Australian grown oils.

      • eraser215 on 22/08/2021 - 12:23

        Isn't the Aldi Cobram lookalike oil just Cobram with different packaging?

        • bargainshooter on 22/08/2021 - 13:48

          Doubt it. Why would cobram dilute or cannibalize their brand?

          • drfuzzy on 22/08/2021 - 14:27

            @bargainshooter: They don't. Aldi rebrand it and the manufacturer sells it to them cheaper.

            • bargainshooter on 22/08/2021 - 16:43

              @drfuzzy: Can you show me any references to aldi rebranding? They also sell cobram branded oil as special buys. Seems a bit counterintuitive to sell the same product under different brands from the same distributor?

            • bargainshooter on 22/08/2021 - 16:45

              @drfuzzy: Plenty of references of brands trying to stop ALDI selling products that use the same colourways to trick consumers.

  • Orico on 22/08/2021 - 11:43

    Does anyone know if Costco sells Canola Oil?

    • tp0 on 22/08/2021 - 11:55

      They do. Big 4L bottles for a good price.

  • 9hundred on 22/08/2021 - 11:45

    coles is almost always 1/2 price anyway

  • mkh1991 on 22/08/2021 - 11:45

    I compared this with normal vegetable oil nutritional values and everything seems same i,e fats content (trans, mono, poly etc ) so what's good about these then?

    • tightm8 on 22/08/2021 - 12:09

      Branding, and market positioning, literally the only thing.

      • Orico on 22/08/2021 - 12:24

        Try digging a little deeper. I dunno, maybe the quality of the ingredients, the names of the ingredients, manufacturing processes, shelf life etc.
        You're clearly no whiz in the kitchen.

    • bargainshooter on 22/08/2021 - 12:22

      Those are very superficial values. No reference to nutrients (vitamins, minerals), antioxidants/amino acids. Around 5x more oleic acid in olive oil vs safflower.

      • Loopenip on 22/08/2021 - 14:38

        And most importantly - taste!

    Moro is as good, of the same variety of course. Only difference is Moro is imported…

    • bargainshooter on 22/08/2021 - 13:49
      +2

      Importing is the problem. Most of the nutrients deteriorate by the time it gets to your table. Check out the studies that compare Australian olive oils vs imported (available online).

  • Magicmagic on 22/08/2021 - 13:41

    hopefully they restock!
