Olive Oil 411: Type, Taste and Quality

NEPTUNE, N.J.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--While it’s no secret that choosing olive oil is the smart, healthy choice when selecting cooking oils, many home cooks are still in the dark when it comes to which olive oil to choose. What’s the difference between extra virgin, regular and light? Which one is best for particular cooking needs? Luckily, it isn’t as complicated as it may seem—it all comes down to type, taste and quality.

There are three main types of olive oils sold in the U.S. market: extra virgin olive oil, olive oil, and light olive oil. No two olive oils are alike—each variety has its own fragrance, color and flavor profile, from intense and bitter to smooth and fruity. With such a wide range of flavors, there’s an olive oil to suit everyone’s taste and cooking needs.

Extra virgin olive oil is produced from full-flavored ripe olives and is the most flavorful of olive oils, boasting a robust, fruit flavor and a more full-bodied taste and aroma than other olive oil varieties. Extra virgin olive oil is best enjoyed raw in order to appreciate its full taste. It’s perfect for dressing salads and vegetable dishes, basting meats and seafood, seasoning soups, marinades and sauces, or alone as a dip for bread. Reach for extra virgin olive oil when you desire a full, rich flavor in your foods. Olive oil is an excellent, all-purpose cooking oil that is more golden in color than extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil has a mild, sweet flavor with a hint of fruitiness, and can be used for everything from sautéing and stir-frying to basting grilled or oven-roasted meats, poultry and seafood. Olive oil also works well as a flavor enhancer for sauces, marinades and dressings. Olive oil retains its properties during heating, which makes it good for frying. Light olive oil has a light golden color and is the mildest of olive oils with just a hint of olive flavor. It’s an excellent choice for baking, and can be used in place of plain vegetable oil in most recipes. Its mild flavor is great for delicate dishes, such as fish or fresh vegetables, and it’s also the best choice for high-heat cooking methods and frying, because it remains extremely stable and won’t burn.

Well here is a great article originally published in the NY Times that supports what we here at Weird Poughkeepsie have been saying for a while now. A better quality of life and a much more diverse landscape to set that life in. Here you can make your own rules create your own scene and have all the benefits of City and Country life without the curse of suburban sprawl. We have big box stores and strip malls but they are an ugly convenience a shameful laziness and are the last choice of most….. Shop local try everywhere else before Wal-Mart. I have always loved the John Waters meets David Lynch by way of Gotham City if it were in an H.P.
