Listing The Do's And Don'ts Of Organic Olive Oil

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


Organic olive oil, when used right, can be one of the best foods to add to your kitchen. There's no denying this fact, especially when you consider the vitamins, antioxidants, and monounsaturated fats which have been commonly associated with this product. With that said, it's important to know the proper ways to utilize it. With this in mind, here are some of the do's and don'ts that common investors in this oil should be mindful of.

Do survey every bottle's details. If you're going to purchase organic olive oil, it shouldn't have to be said that you're to look at every detail on the bottle. The expiration date is especially noteworthy, seeing as how the freshest products will be invested in. This type of information can be further expanded on by looking at the harvest date, which should be on the label as well. Details such as these are definitely worth looking at, as they help to make the best purchases.

Don't expose the oil to sunlight. Along with heat, one of the common enemies of organic olive oil is light. As a result, it's of the utmost importance that this product isn't exposed to sunlight for extensive lengths of time, as its quality will be reduced. It's also worth noting - and culinary experts can say the same - that the taste of the oil may become rancid in time as well. Simply put, once you get the product home, make sure that it's situated in a reasonably dark area.

Do take part in online research. Anyone who buys organic olive oil, on a regular basis, should know about the importance of research. Just because you're familiar with a certain brand does not necessarily mean that the oil it presents will be the purest. Some companies actually blend different types of oil, which leaves you with a product that isn't quite as dependable. In order to make the smartest investment possible, research will be in your best interest.

Don't let buzzwords affect your purchases. Food is no stranger to buzzwords, as I am sure you'll know after several supermarket visits. "Fat-free" and "low-fat" are just a few examples, which can be applied to labels for this oil as well. However, you have to know that these terms really don't mean much; if anything, they should set off signals in your mind, as negative quality may be seen. Hopefully these terms will not affect your purchases in the future.
