    There's a lot of informative comments / opinions about olive oil and this Red Island stuff compared to Cobram on a previous deal post for Red Island Olive Oil

  • extra virgin olive oil is not good for fry?

    • You can fry with extra virgin olive oil. The smoke point is about 200 degrees.

      A widely believed falsehood.

      Their experiment revealed that a high smoke point wasn't related to oil safety. In fact, the higher the oil's smoke point, the more polar compounds it produced. Results showed that during heat exposure, extra-virgin olive oil created the least amount, followed by coconut oil and other virgin oils like avocado oil and high-oleic seed oils. Although canola oil has a reputation for being healthy, it produced the most polar compounds when heated.

  • I scored 2 containers of this last time it was on special. We have already finished the first 3l container and it is delicious. Highly recommend it.
    There is a couple of ways you can tell if its good.
    I pour a little on a small white saucer and look at the colour, the greener it is the better.
    I also just go with the taste test, should have a strong almost bitter flavour that hits the back of your throat.
    Last year I received a 17 Litre container of extra virgin from a close friend that produces a substantial amount of olive oil in Crete, and it was excellent - just as I described.
    Aldi Extra virgin is also v good in my opinion.

      Is this the one you're talking about?

      The regular price of the Aldi one is $10/L, so almost half price of Red Island. Both are Australian made. I've tried Red Island but not the Aldi.

      Choice rates the Aldi one 77% and the Red Island at 65%

      Aldi brand
      Red Island

      • I haven't tried this one, I meant the 3.78litre container. https://www.aldi.com.au/en/groceries/pantry/olive-oil/olive-…

        • Choice rates that at 67%

          It's made in Spain though. Some people in a previous thread say Australian oil will be more fresh and not as degraded by heat. Also there's the bonus of supporting Australian made.

      • I see they updated their scoring in 2021 - those two used to be rated the other way around. I couldn't find an archive of the old review from 2017 but I'm sure scoring is mentioned in older posts here prior to Dec 21 when they updated.

    • 'should have a strong almost bitter flavour that hits the back of your throat"..
      That's what she said..

  • Be aware this is 2021 harvest, 2022 is coming now so they have to get rid of the old one. It's still fine but not the freshest

    • When is the 2022 batch harvested/sold?

      I mainly use it for cooking. At under $6/L it's a bargain.

      Will save the Cobram for the dressing/dipping oil.

    For those wondering the maximum amount to spend on the Apple gift cards: 50000/20=$2500.

  • Great oil, such a big container to poor from though :(

    • 3l = 4 x 750ml bottle refills.

    • I decant into a squeeze bottle

      • Which bottle, have purchased two different ones and they all leak through the screw cap
