Paying for the glass (expensive)
Quik mafs.
Not much of a deal.. these used to cost $7 a Litre before they jacked them up… rather buy the red island aussie EVOO when on sale is $9 a litre bottle… much beter quality and flavour
Is there a Pro version?
Agree…Not the same quality and taste as the Red Island, Cobrams, Bertolli or Monini. I find La Espanola and Moro to be the worst of all the olive oils with their rancid taste.
If you get 5 for $50 it turns out to be really cheap.
If you wait until tomorrow when the new catalogue specials start you can buy 1 for $10.
Low grade oil and not a bargain.
What would you recommend instead ?
Aussie oil to use raw. Cobram is number 1, but rarely on special. Second is Red Island. I tried a 3 litres Aldi tin and found it was bitter. I stay away from Spanish and Italian, unless you use them for soffritto or frying eggs.
Well I do a lot of stir frying and deep frying
But I know some olive oils change form after certain heat range which becomes bad for you
@SpeedRunnerLink: For stir fry and deep you have better options, also cheaper. I don't know about being bad, there are different opinions, but olive oil will give a flavour to the food that many don't want.
@SpeedRunnerLink: For high heat use a neutral flavored high smoke point oil. For European recipes that benefit from the olive oil flavour stick to Australian olive oil. Since they introduced the Au/NZ standard for olive oil, the consistency and flavour you get from Australian olive oil has surpassed imported European products.
@simulacrum: I read a book about olive oil and unless youre buying from small batch producers the euro supply chain will have dodgy operators adding cheap soybean oil or whatever into the mix. Even if its a couple percent it adds up when youre selling millions of litres of the stuff. Same book said Australian standards and production was the world class standard.
@SpeedRunnerLink: I would never deep fry in Extra Olive Oil. Use cheaper lighter Olive oil or use Conola, Sunflower Oil.
@Gavman: The only worse thing for stir and deep frying I can imagine is butter, which is less healthy and, most of all, burns quicker. Almost everything burns slower than EVO and butter.
Red Island is No.1 best for Buck. Cobram is excellent but never as cheap when on sale so I never buy it
TIL all this - was previously buying La Espanola without knowing any better. Will keep an eye out for the Aussie ones you mentioned to go on sale. Thanks!

Wasn't there supposed to be a worldwide shortage of Olive Oil?
Or was that just the media?Never heard of it.
You're paying to eat the crap the Euro's throw away.
What does european currency normally eat?
True.
Aldi organic australian olive oil has a good rep.
But the 4 litre is $36 which is about $9 per litre where at the 5 x 1litre for $50 ends up being $10 a litre.
