Oil is overused crutch that often times doesn't make food taste better or sometimes even makes it taste worse
Name 5 examples…

>>21688153>>21688207hey boys thats just my unpopular opinion
No. Just stop using too much
Real truffle oil makes everything taste better.
Who the fuck adds oil for flavor? It's a heat conductor.
>>21688135That's because you've never had real extra virgin olive oil, probably not available in your trailer park, cletus. This is the only explanation to your idiotic unpopular opinion. You poor, ignorant soul. I don't even despise you, I pity you.
>>21688135"neutral" cooking oils actually taste kind of bad sometimes if you ever taste it by itself. especially soybean oil which can taste almost fishy. >>21688379extra virgin olive oil, truffle oil, sesame oil, walnut oil, those are mostly used for flavor rather than just cooking.>>21688387every walmart sells extra virgin olive oil lol it's not some super premium hard to find product
>>21688379Finishing oils you retarded cooklet
>>21688397>Walmart>Extra virgin olive oilYou know nothing my friend, it's like saying that you had sushi because it is available at your local gas station. Have a great day and enjoy your culinary ignorance and ineptitude, but try not to poison yourself.
>>21688439Forgot pic, this is what extra virgin olive oil should look like.
>>21688444that looks nice. walmart does sell unfiltered olive oil. they have olive oil from spain, greek, italy, tunisia, usa. obviously it's not going to be the best olive oil in the world but there's a small chance op has no access to at least a palatable olive oil.op isn't even saying oil is always bad. op says there are times where oil does make things better. but sometimes basic steamed vegetables will taste better than ones with oil and roasted or sauteed. of course there are times where i do want things with a lot of good quality olive oil but not always. people thinking "fat is flavor" and that you always need to add tons of fat does happen and just gets old.
>>21688439Get the stick out of your ass you sanctimonious prick.
Stop burning your oils.
>>21688475Ok, but what olives is it extracted from? Moraiolo, pendolino, leccino, frantoiano? I have so many questions and, hopefully, very few time on this horrible earth.
>>21688135>opiniona>*is AN overused crutchyou could use some oiling up
>>21688319does real truffle oil even exist?
>>21688573one italian olive oil says coratina, another says castelvetrano. a greek one says koroneiki. most of them are just various blends.
>>21688600Thanks for your answer. Coratina is a type of olive if I recall correctly from Puglia, not a big fan of their local product. Castelvetrano is a town in Sicily, good area generally for olive oil. No idea about the Castrol oil they produce in Greece. I am genuinely interested in Italian olive oil abroad since I worked for eight years in a farm that used to produce it in Tuscany.
>>21688439So if I got a burrito at the gas station, would i be lying if I said I had Mexican food you pretentious fuckwad
olive oil taste horrible
>>21688776Anything you add olive oil to for the "taste" would be better served with mayo.Fact.
>>21688781i agree
>>21688681never tried coratina before but i've been seeing a lot of castelvetrano products lately. the jarred olives aren't bad. i don't think i've ever specifically had greek olive oil but kalamata olives are delicious. >partanna>carapelli>bartenura>florathose are the brands of 100% italian/sicilian olive oil in a nearby walmart. there are some other italian brands but they're mostly blended with oil from other countries.>I worked for eight years in a farm that used to produce it in Tuscany.anything interesting to share?
>>21688907They are mostly commercial brands, quite similar to the basic ones you could find in a supermarket in Italy. Nothing very interesting about the farm, just a standard one. The shifts in the olive press were a blast though, very erratic atmosphere and overall great people. The 70/80 year old farmers taught me a lot and were pretty fun to have around.
>>21688397From my experience, neutral oil that tastes bad is from oxidation. Older olive oil or caizyou have strong flavors that won’t be overpowered by the off taste from old age. I can’t say that tasting fresh neutral oil directly has zero unpleasant flavor, but I don’t find it to be anywhere near enough to diminish a final dish.
