What To Consider When Buying Olive Oil Atlanta

By Edna Booker


The right ingredients can turn an ordinary dish into something fantastic. If you are interested in making delicious food that is also good for you, quality ingredients such as olive oil Atlanta may be just what you need to bring the quality of your meals up a notch. Here is what you need to know about choosing and using these oils in your next meal.

You may be wondering what the different grades mean and whether there is much difference between varieties of oil. The purest oil is labelled as "extra virgin" This means that there has been very little in the way of processing. People who are aficionados also say that this has the taste that is most like the olives themselves. It also tends to have a higher nutrient content then other grades will.

Unlike some oils and fats that are used in cooking, oil made from olives is actually good for your heart health. The fats in it are not as likely to clog arteries the way the fats from butter or other sources would. Studies have also shown that this particular fat source may also help conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and cancer although these studies are not totally conclusive.

Cooks like this oil both because of its flavor and because of the fact that it takes very high heat to make the oil smoke. This allows a cook to sear meat or other items without worrying that there will be a burned taste to the dish. If you are combining this liquid with fat sources such as butter you will need to be more careful than if you are using it by itself as the butter or margarine may burn before the oil does.

Many individuals in Atlanta, GA will also use this oil cold as well. One popular use is to use it as a dip for bread. If you are using it in this way, the extra virgin type may be best as it usually has the best flavor. It can also be combined with balsamic vinegar for a tasty treat.

Some versions have been infused with different flavors. These can range from spicy to savory to sweet. You may find that using these infused products can add a welcome twist to the recipes that you may love but want to switch up after awhile.

If you want to try different flavors and varieties you should look for stores that have tasting bars. You may be able to sample infused oils and single varietal versions that use fruit from one location instead of a blending of fruit from different locations. Make notes about the ones that you like best so that you can find them later.

Once you have found the oil you like best, you will want to make sure that the taste doesn't change and that the oil does not lose its nutritional value. The easiest way to do this is to find a cool location that is out of direct sunlight. Heat and light break this liquid down quite quickly and can cause its flavor to become altered in unexpected ways.
