Yes, probably because I'm Mediterranean. Otherwise I'd use more butter, lard or cream. But olive oil is the fat of choice in my cooking.

Just a little

>>6529925

EVOO

not just in the kitchen

>>6529932
>I'm Mediterranean

why do you dirty african mooslimz say that shit trying to sound european?

>>6529925
Mostly for pasta, but occasionally for other things. Marinating some chicken breast and I used some in the marinade.

Yes, but not extra virgin.
I use mostly olive pomace oil. I keep some virgin (not extra) around but only for dressings. Even then, I generally blend it with olive pomace oil or lard.

Are any good 2015 harvest olive oils available yet?

Never heard of it

I only fry with extra virgin olive oil.

Some people say shit like "muh smoke point" but it's nonsense.

>>6529925

From Snopes.com:
Independent tests at the University of California found that 69% of all store-bought extra virgin olive oils in the US are probably fake. This study reported that the following brands failed to meet extra virgin olive oil standards: Bertolli Carapelli Colavita Filippo Berio Mazzola Mezzetta Newman's Own Safeway Star Whole Foods.

So maybe, yes, but then maybe no.

yes

non-virgin for frying
extra virgin for dressings and such

>>6529925
No, it's an overpriced cool hipster scam. Verily, each fortuitous occasion upon which I find my very self in attendance, I gaze upon posh pretenders with new money affecting a most unseemly pretense, whilst stuffing they're smug faces with the latest overpriced olive oil and pretending not to be disgusted. Olive oil is yucky and it makes me gag even to smell.

>cooking with cancer oil

>>6529925
Na i use da based gutter oil to make my chickety china da chineez chickun

>>6529925
Yeah. I use a fuckton of pic related.

>>6530077

I resent these accusations, all of my olive oil is completely legitimate.

>>6530077
I've tried Colavita, Bertoli and FB and each have been fucking terrible. Now I know why. Seriously, if you can't taste that it's not real olive oil, you shouldn't be buying the stuff to begin with. You're part of the problem, supporting OO companies that knowingly export shit OO.

>>6529925
>olive oil?

Well, yeah. Don't you? Why not?

>>6530391

what brand do you buy then

everyone keeps talking about fake olive oil, but I never hear anyone dropping the name of an actually good brand

Yes

>>6530421
Varies.
Every few years, I switch brands because the brand I'm using at the time will start to taste off. I think it's because most OO sold here in the US is blended of OOs from many, many different countries and sources. The only ones I've tried that have never been good are the three I mentioned already.
Capatriti and Kalamata have both been good but I stopped using them because they stopped selling in 3L containers.
I'm currently using a homebrand from a regional supermarket chain. The oil in this one is sourced from Tunisia and Morocco and is surprisingly good for the price, $12.99 for 3L when it's on sale.

It could also be because I don't use EV. I use only olive pomace oil (also virgin on occasion).

>>6530290

Which oil do you use?

>>6530421
Lucini when I'm ghetto rich, bulk metallic-can/jug-type Spanish crap when I'm not.

>>6530421
Kirkland is pretty good tbh.

Unfiltered olive oil is best olive oil

>>6529925
Olive oil
>taste degrades when heated
>can't be spread on bread because liquid
>frequently adulterated
>have to pay out the ass for the good stuff
>vegan halal and 100% social justice approved
>favored by filthy mediterraneans and sand people

Butter
>taste improves when browned
>can be spread on bread and melted for dipping if desired
>never adulterated unless you live in some shithole like China
>delicious flavor of animal exploitation
>favored by the noble and cultured central and northern Europeans

What's your excuse?

>>6531308
You can't spread it with a knife, but you sprinkle it on bread and that's a very yumyum thing to do.

>>6531308
Nice troll. But sandpeople don't use olive oil.

Olives don't grow in deserts.

Sand people use smen/semneh/samna, depending on which sandspeak gutterutterences they use for their rudimentary, grunt-like communications. Also depending on which gutterutterence they speak, smen/semneh/samna can mean either
• rendered animal fat, such as from chicken or mutton
• rendered butterfat, such as what's commonly called 'ghee' after the Indian name for the stuff
• fermented butterfat, if being spoken of by a filthy Berber

Olive oil is used by Europeans and Mediterranean coastal Arabs, not by sandpeople. It is not used, for example, in southern Egypt or southern Algeria, where sandpeople actually live.

>>6531312
Or mix it with some herbs and garlic and dip bread in it. Fucking delicious.

>>6531308
>favored by the noble and cultured central and northern Europeans

You mean barbarians?

>>6531400
Not any more. They've long ago surpassed southern Europe in damned near everything. Except culinary skill, ohohoho.

>>6530077
hah i got trader joe evoo

T___T

>>6531308
>delicious flavor of animal exploitation
you do know that for butter especially, if you treat the animals poorly, it tastes like shit?

grass fed, low stress lives makes objectively better quality butter.

Only for vinaigrettes and for crustinis

No, I don't use meme oil.

yes, mostly in cold preparations like dressing a salad or drizzling on something. I very rarely use it for cooking.

>>6531116
motor

>>6529925
To finger my asshole yea

>>6531583
enjoy what ever shit oil you use you lowlife prole

Is corn oil any good?

>>6532884
Can be. To be honest, I can't tell much a difference between corn, soya, peanut, sunflower or Canola oils.
Other oils, absolutely, but those above, not at all.

>>6529925
3 different types.
High quality EVOO for raw applications
EVOO for sweating and in stews and to finish off sauces
Good quality normal olive oil for frying, sauteeing and low temperature high ingredient quality deep frying

Sunflower oil for stir frying and high temperature deep frying

Because the alternatives are hipster shit, aside from sunflower oil, which is disgusting slav shit. Slavs are worse than blacks, they only steal and rape.

>>6535252
Western Europe uses it, too, not just filthy, disgusting, Eastern European Slavs.

In the 80s and early 90s, when I was a kid, I remember seeing adverts on TV for sunflower oil uses Tin Tin characters.

>aside from sunflower oil, which is disgusting slav shit.
>germany is a slavic country

>>6535274
Germany is absolutely a slavic country, retard.

Slavs killed all german men and then raped german women.

>>6530360
kek. underrated post right there.

>>6531308

>being too retarded to make proper garlic bread

olive oil is a must-have for frying and sauteeing

>>6530349
where do you buy that shit my niggy

>>6535291
Nigga with olive oil?

>>6535441
Not him, but the Tunisian butcher around the corner from me as well as the Lebanese import shop a bit further down both carry it so I'd guess to try Durkadurka stores.

>>6535444
>>6535291
Yeah, doesn't garlic bread typically consist of bread with a garlic/herb butter spread?

>>6535480
Indeed you're right. >>6535291 doesn't know how to make garlic bread. The only time I use olive oil in anything garlic-bread-like is when I heat up some OO to about 100°C/212°F and pour it in equal volume over some fresh-minced garlic and parsley (IE, I get a cup of garlic cloves and parsley, run them through my processor to mince, then pour into a heat-safe container, heat up the OO and pour it over the mixture).
Then, after it's cooled, dunk par-baked dough knots (not doughnuts, silly) in the mixture, toss with grated cheese and bake a second time until golden and cooked through.
I make sweet dough knots using brioche dough, plain ghee and spiced sugar, too.

>>6530037
try a pinch of olive oil

>>6535464
Tunisian butcher sounds like a name for a serial killer

>>6535252
>sunflower oil
>disgusting slav shit
>not rapeseed oil
>that needs to be refined so it's not poisonous

>>6529925
Yes but not a fan of the taste.

>>6529939
lel, je suis français !

>>6529925
I use extra virgin exclusively with the exception of cooking French Fries when I use beef tallow.
There simply is no other oil that matters.

>>6529925
There are people who don't use olive oil?

>>6535979
People who believe that's just a meme, mostly anglos.

>>6530290
explain

isn't olive oil better than the other vegetable fats?

>>6535973
youre a little fucking dumbass buddy

>>6529925
Hell yeah, I even put it in my hair.

>>6535988
Olive oil is a healthy fat I guess.

Depends on the dish being prepared but yes

is it just an american thing to think of olive oil as a 'meme oil' ? Because even in shit food central england everyone uses it

>>6536093
>is it just an american thing to think of olive oil as a 'meme oil' ?

Fuck no. It's a /ck/ thing now apparently. As of this week(?). And it shouldn't be. Ever.

i like pic related

>>6536093
i don't know about that, but i used to think olive oil sucked too, that was because i only ever tried whatever i had at hand and didn't bother to look for a "good" one. so after 2-3 bottles i gave up until i read up on it a bit and gave it another try a few years later, only this time i didn't buy the first cheap bottle of olive oil i came across and had side by side comparisons.

and this experience is, in my opinion, largely what causes this idea of it being a "meme oil": people who either only made the same experience with bad oil or people who have been through it and think most people only use it because it's either common or because "that one chef on tv keeps using it" without ever actually bothering to taste it.

>>6536103
but only really for using with salads or maybe sauteing veggies, otherwise i use butter

>>6536103
ohly christ, I tried a bottle of that once and it smelled like motor oil

perfect example of what this guy said >>6536106

>>6536106
i forgot to mention but i'd like to add just because i think it needs to be said: the price isn't that important, there are terrible expensive oils and terrible cheap ones, there are wonderful expensive oils and wonderful cheap ones. if you don't have a local store that allows you to sample them you may want to read up on reviews/tastings and you might even find a really decent one that's available somewhere between a ton of shitty ones at your average discounter.
