Bulk Olive Oil

Using Bulk Olive Oil

If you're new to the exciting health benefits and many culinary uses of olive oil, you have a fun road ahead of you! There is so much to learn, so much to cook and eat and so much to gain in terms of your health. Changing out some of the unhealthy fats, such as animal fat, and butter for delicious olive oil is a great way to start on a healthier path.

Much like with regular vegetable oil, the amount of olive oil you will want to stock your kitchen with depends very much on how you plan to use the oil and what your cooking habits are. It will also depend on what type of olive oil, particularly what grade you will be using.

As olive oil is significantly more expensive than many of the other vegetable oils, you should know how to best use it. For example, the most expensive, extra virgin olive oil, should not be used in cooking at high temperatures, as it has a low smoke point and its special flavor is lost in the cooking process anyway. Extra virgin olive oil should be saved for use in fresh dishes, such as on salads, for dipping bread, or sprinkling or brushing over cooked meat, fish and vegetables.

Keep in mind that in some frying situations, the olive oil flavor may not be one you want to add to the food. For example, you might not relish the taste of french fries cooked in olive oil. But for some meats and fishes, frying can be done just as well in olive oil. However, opt for „pure” olive oil, or another type that is not virgin, as they have higher smoking points and cost less. If you do a lot of frying, you may want to consider buying bulk olive oil.

Wholesale olive oil can be bought a few different ways. Either you can find a container, often a special tin, that holds a large quantity of the liquid, or you can pay less for a number of smaller bottles (such as in a case). If you do plan to buy bulk olive oil, there are a few things you should know.

Keeping in mind the best uses of extra virgin olive oil, buy only what you think you will use within a year or so, as the flavor and therefore enjoyment of the oil over fresh foods decreases in quality after about a year. Olive oils over a year old should probably be used for cooking purposes, and you should get a new bottle for fresh applications.

Probably your smartest option for bulk olive oil, is to buy a slightly lesser quality of oil (unless you use a lot fresh) so that you can use it in all sorts of cooking applications. This way you will always have some on hand when you need it, you won't have to worry about it going rancid, and you can also save money.

If you do buy bulk olive oil in a lesser grade, such as „pure”, be sure to keep a good bottle of extra virgin on hand for fresh uses, too.
