UK citizens - what olive oil do you use? page

[YogaBare]

Hey fellow UK folk

Apparently some olive oil companies don't have much integrity and use veg oils instead. What olive oil do you guys use, and are you sure it has integrity?

I use the extra virgin stuff from aldi and I have no idea on the integrity, it tastes pretty peppery though

Hi
I use the Napolina extra virgin or the Belerio (spelling?) extra virgin. Never tasted them as use them in cooking, but they're supposed to be good for us.

Never know if I should trust Aldi and Lidl products! They do taste good, but did you hear the "My Lidl Pony" joke? (that was it).

I'm using Napolina extra virgin as well But it's reasonably cheap, so I'm wondering if it's the real deal...

[DinoHunter]

for regular stuff (cooking etc) I use Co-Ops own brand (they have two, Greek & Italian I think?)
For salad dressings etc I have some posh stuff I picked up at TK Maxx a while back, Senorio de Jamie Rosell Maximum
and this one...


The last 2 are lush but ive no idea where you would get them normally or what they would cost

Forgot to say, The Co-op oil is pretty good & I think real, the shop heating went on the blink a while back & their olive oil was going thick & cloudy just sitting on the shelves The stuff beside it (more expensive) stayed clear.....

Is that a good sign??

Hah - love the randomness of TK Maxx!

Yeah, real olive oil will go cloudy & solidify at lower temps, try popping it in the fridge to see if it goes cloudy/thick.
