Frequently Asked Questions:
What is pure olive oil?
Pure olive oil is a type of olive oil that has been extracted by refining (typically a heat source) to remove any impurities in acidity, flavor, etc. The resulting oil is lighter in flavor and color—compared to extra virgin olive oil. Its high smoke point means that it can be used for high-heat cooking.
What is so special about pure olive oil?
Pure olive oil is a good choice for those who aren’t fond of the rich, raw olive flavor of extra virgin olive oil. It is also preferred for cooking, as pure olive oil can withstand higher heat cooking methods. It’s a great choice for frying, braising, roasting, grilled and sautéing.
What is the difference between pure olive oil and light olive oil?
Light olive oil is more refined than pure olive oil and so its flavor is the most neutral and its color is the lightest. It is not “light” in the way of calories, but of flavor. It is the best choice for baked goods, as it will impart no olive flavor. You can also use extra light olive oil to grease pans, griddles and grills.
What is the difference between pure olive oil and extra virgin olive oil?
Pure olive oil is not cold-pressed (raw) like EVOO. Heat is used in the oil extraction process. While pure olive oil has the same health-promoting monounsaturated fats as extra virgin olive oil, it doesn’t pack the same antioxidant punch nor does it have the big bold olive flavor of EVOO. It is more neutral in flavor and lighter in color. Pure olive oil has a higher smoke point so it is better for cooking than raw applications.
How do I use pure olive oil?
Pure olive oil can be used in cooking or raw applications. It has a high smoke point and can withstand the heat. It is light in olive flavor, unlike EVOO, but it can be used in dressings, marinades and vinaigrettes too. Pure olive oil is great for frying meats, veggies and appetizers. Create potato salads, tuna salads and pasta salads. Use it to braise or roasted meats and vegetables.
