Product Information

It only took one taste for us to become convinced that Brightland’s Alive extra virgin olive oil belongs on top of a bed of leafy greens. We were very impressed with the light, subtle taste that still was peppery but smooth. The consistency is also thinner than some other EVOOs on the market, making it ideal for covering lettuce.

Filippo Berio’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil is grassy, bold, and makes you cough. (It is a cold-pressed blend of olives from five countries and 100 percent olive oil while some other budget options are not.) It would be a great addition to any pantry—and comes in a plethora of sizes from 8.4 to over 100 ounces—at a reasonable price. The brand recommends using it for cooking under 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or for marinating, drizzling, or sautéing. We think it makes a good dipping oil, too, especially mellowed out with some cheese or balsamic vinegar. Contrary to popular belief, you can fry with olive oil as long as you make sure the temperature is in the correct range. Olive oil’s smoking point (the point at which it burns and smokes) is between 350 and 410 degrees Fahrenheit. When frying food, the oil’s temperature should remain between 350 and 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Though it has a subtle design, if you’re looking for a quality and minimalistic dispenser you can depend on for all of your oil needs, that’s pretty easy on your wallet; this is your bottle. Overall, this olive oil dispenser won our tester over as one of her favorites for its quality and versatility.Olio nuovo is the cream of the crop so to speak of the first pressing. It's basically the first batch of the first pressing of the season.

One Internet search will tell you this newer EVOO is not as widely available as the other version. It’s still worth it, though, especially if you’re looking for a high-quality organic option. La Tourangelle sources its certified organic olives from Andalucia, Spain—the ones that go into the Smooth and Fruity oil are harvested earlier in the season and cold-pressed soon after harvesting. That said, if you’re switching to a tinted dispenser, it could further protect your olive oil from light and therefore keep it fresh for longer. Another important consideration for your olive oil and kitchen life? Having useful, beautiful items that you love. Some might even say that’s priceless. This dispenser comes in three sizes: 17 ounces, 24 ounces, and 34 ounces. It also has a lid to cover the spout when you’re not using it to prevent hair or dust from getting inside the bottle. Our expert noted since the spout is bigger than many of the other ones tested, a larger volume of oil comes out at once, so you’ll need to be careful, especially if you’re using it to drizzle vegetables. Sometimes simplicity is key, especially with kitchen appliances and accessories. If you’re a fan of stainless steel in your kitchen or are just looking for a reliable and versatile dispenser that can hold a large volume of oil, Flyboo’s Stainless Steel Olive Oil Dispenser is your best bet.If you want the best quality olive oil, see if you can buy what's called olio nuovoEVOO. Extra virgin olive oil comes from the first pressing of the olives. Is an olive oil dispenser (sometimes called a cruet) essential? Not quite. It’s not practical for most cooking oil applications, so it’s really best for finishing oil. And, if you’re interested in a clear glass container, you should know that it may even make your olive oil lose its freshness. Part of the reason many olive oils come in tinted glass is to protect them from light. Light, heat, and air will degrade it. This is, of course, totally subjective. Ideally, your olive oil dispenser will be something that you enjoy looking at and using. There are a wide range of options at varying prices, so it’s worth making sure that you’ve found something you love. However, you should still be careful. "In Italy, we fry everything in extra virgin olive oil," explains Borri. "That said, it is sometimes better to use another type of oil when frying, since extra virgin olive oil has a higher smoke point than other oils and is oftentimes more expensive." Can you substitute olive oil for vegetable oil?
