Yep - though I would prefer to get 4 x of these ones if happy with the price. If you don't use a lot they stay fresher as only opening 750ml at a time.
I decanter mine. Never had a problem
I miss the days, a couple of months ago, when the 3L was only $13/kg
Remember when these used to be $9…..
They used to be $6 at half price a few years ago.
Which was basically 2 years ago, right?
Thanks OP. Been holding out for a price drop and now I can stock up.
finally… but….
Aldi 3 lt for $45 still the way to go. Can't taste the difference.
Aldi used to be a lot cheaper. The olive tree olive oil 750ml jumped up from $9 to $18.
Cobram taste a lot better than the olive tree.
costco has 2*3 litter for under $80
of cobram?
Kirkland brand probably, also highly rated
I just bought 4L Red Island for $60 @ costco
Has anyone tried La Gina Extra Virgin Olive Oil at Woolworths? It's $49 for 3.78L, which is $12.96/L.
Not produced in Australia. By the time it ships, most of the nutrients that make olive oil special are significantly degraded.
shipping these days only takes 1-2 weeks i don think it would matter.
They don't ship direct from the farm 🤣 The process is often 6 months+
@bargainshooter: you didn't specify shipping from one country to another is usually 1-2 weeks in a container
Thanks OP. Was getting low. Adding to my big shop with my monthly 10% discount.
how is this one https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/310022/mor…? its $38 for 2.2L ie $1.73 / 100ML
Ok so prices have skyrocketed as a result of droughts in spain etc for a couple of years now. Anyone know if the droughts continued this summer? Will prices revert back to normal is is gouging the new normal?
The prices never go back down m8. Why would these guys say no to free money?
Is the drought reason even true at this point? Or just exaggerated to grab more money
Aldi is selling this for $13.99 atm.
I'm not sure if that's their everday price or their beating WW's price.
Aldi's is 500ml not 750
So it is….I didn’t notice the size difference or the fact Cobram Estate even made a 500ml bottle!
beginner home cook here; is there an actual difference between the brands of olive oil? and there's different types of olive oil, which one should I use? mostly do stir frys.
Stir fry you'll want a neutral oil, our household (Asian) swears by sunflower oil and get the 4L bottles when they're on sale at Woolies. High smoking point so you can fry hot and no real flavour so you can let your ingredients shine.
Olive oils have lower smoking point and good extra virgin is really for putting into sauce or on top of stuff to get the flavour. I use it mainly for pasta sauces (add to canned ones or put quite a lot of it in tomato sauce when I make it from scratch) salad dressing and that kind of thing. Asian cooking equivalent is sunflower oil, which is great to use towards the end of cooking or in a sauce or dressing.
i see, i've always used olive oil but it's getting expensive. tried vegetable oil but found that it can feel sorta thick at times. i'll have to try sunflower oil.
Sunflower > canola > vegetable oil IMO for cooking oils. I believe that's in decreasing order of smoking point (i.e. sunflower hottest cooking, veggie oil lowest).
My wife thinks canola has a smell to it, though I don't really notice it because I have always used it. I still prefer sunflower anyway.
You can cook with *sesame oil (wasn't thinking when I wrote sunflower twice above and now can't edit it), butter and extra virgin olive oil, but these are better for relatively low-temperature cooking - they have good flavours and you want to get those and avoid burning them and getting a bitter flavour instead.
You can avoid some of the oiliness by putting the oil into an already-hot pan and using less, just be careful about timing to avoid oil spitting. I'm honestly pretty bad at this, I've had 3 different stoves of 3 different types in the past 3 years (5 different types if you count benchtop stoves) and can never time well when the pan is hot enough but not too hot to avoid burning the oil.
EDIT: Last sentence "Asian cooking equivalent is sesame oil, which is great to use towards the end of cooking or in a sauce or dressing.
Peanut oil is very popular in Asia for cooking stirfrys
They are quite different for me and I think this one tastes a lot better than most of the other supermarket brands. That being said, taste is a very subjective thing.
Use peanut oil
How does this olive oil compare to a genuine Italian extra virgin olive oil? I hear this brand is ok but what I know is from instagram content creators.
Guys the price on this will correct real soon short term issue atm. Get some to get by and in a couple months this will go on bigger special for sure with overseas oils coming back to stick
doesnt that work out to be $20/ litre so $60 for 3 litres so pretty much same price right now ……
