Guest guest Posted February 1, 2002 Report Share Posted February 1, 2002 just starting to get up to speed on the different oils. As I always thought Olive Oil was Olive Oil I never paid much attention to what I had. So now I'm looking at my OO can and it says " This Olive Pomace Oil has been refined only with steam, to guarantee the best quality. All natural, no salt or additives. " it goes on to say that one tablespoon has " 120 calories and 14g of fat: Saturated 2g, Polyunsaturated 2g, and Monounsaturated 10g. Imported from Italy. Giusto Olive Pomace Oil. " How does this OO compare to the recommended 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil? What is the difference? thanks for your help with this and for all the help I've received from this group in the past, joseph in NC ps: this can is vacuum sealed in a can. As long as that vacuum isn't broken and it is kept in a cool place does anyone have an idea of how long it shelf life should be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 --- Joseph, Good Evening... I am under the impression that unless the container directly states it is expeller pressed extra virgin olive oil it is not 100% safe for human consumption. Imported oils are usually the best. However from what you're stating this oil has been heated which would make it a refined oil. The quality of these olive oils are compromised by heating. Extra virgin is the very best and is highest in omega 3 content.
