Questions about Olive oil
Can you fry with olive oil?
Yes. Use it for shallow-frying, sautéing and roasting; heat it until it shimmers, but turn the heat down if it starts to smoke. For deep-frying, keep the oil steady and avoid letting it overheat.
How should you store olive oil?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the hob and sunlight. Use it while it still smells fresh and fruity; a stale, waxy or paint-like smell means it has turned rancid.
Does olive oil go cloudy in the fridge?
It can become cloudy or partly solid when chilled. This is a harmless reaction to the cold: leave the bottle at room temperature and it should clear again.
What goes well with olive oil?
Drizzle it over tomatoes, grilled vegetables, soups or beans, or toss it through pasta with garlic and herbs. For a simple dressing, whisk three parts olive oil with one part vinegar or lemon juice.
Can you use olive oil instead of butter in baking?
Often, yes: use about three-quarters as much olive oil as butter by weight, and expect a moister crumb with a mild olive flavour. It works especially well in cakes and quick breads; it is not a good swap for recipes that rely on creaming butter and sugar.
What is the difference between olive oil and extra virgin olive oil?
Extra virgin olive oil is mechanically extracted without chemical refining and has a more pronounced olive flavour. Refined olive oil has a milder taste, making it useful when you do not want the oil to dominate a dish.
How much olive oil is a typical serving?
A tablespoon is a practical portion for dressing a salad or finishing a serving of vegetables, and provides 119 kcal. Measure it rather than pouring freely, as it is easy to add more than you intend.
