Olive oil: Probably the most commonly used. It has a milder flavour than extra virgin olive oil, so works well for cooking in many dishes. Extra-virgin (EVOO) is the highest grade of olive oil you can buy. It’s extracted using the cold-pressing method, which ensures the olives are not heated to above 27°C. This preserves the flavour and antioxidant properties of the olives, and usually means the oil has a more aromatic flavour. A strong, spicy finish doesn’t mean an olive oil is bad or off, but a stale or bitter taste indicates that the oil is past its best. While old olive oil won’t harm you, it isn’t very pleasant to consume and should be avoided.

This exceptionally fruity and buttery Spanish extra-virgin olive oil is one of the freshest you can get. Made from olives cold-pressed on the first day of the harvest – when they’re at peak ripeness – it has all of the classic hallmarks of a champion unrefined EVOO. So far, La Española Extra Virgin Olive Oil (perfect for dressings and dips) and La Española Pure Olive Oil (crafted for grilling and roasting) are both available in spray bottles, which should set you up for preparing a wide variety of recipes.

Taste – While some olive oils have very subtle differences, others can vary wildly in taste. Peppery, fruity, buttery, floral and nutty are some of the key flavours you’ll find in the best olive oils. Out of this oil’s great things, it has a Climate Pledge Friendly certificate. This means that this product is prepared with ingredients that conserve natural resources. Spanish extra virgin olive oil: Spanish olive oil tends to be light and fragrant - ideal for salad dressings or serve as an alternative to butter with bread. The answer to this question depends on a couple of factors: the type of oil you want and how often you plan on using your olive oil. As a sealed unit, the spray bottle is much more aseptic than some bottles, helping to minimise the amount of bacteria that may enter the bottle and contaminate your lovely olive oil. While bacterial contamination is not a common problem for La Española lovers (thanks to our signature pouring spouts), it is still reassuring to know that you and your family have an extra level of protection should you need it.

However, La Espanola Classic Olive Oil may not be made from the first expression of olives. Therefore, it could be less beneficial compared to EVOO. La Espanola Olive Oil Uses

The price is good too. It’s an EVOO and not refined like some other oils out there. Following are the type of products that you can get at Le Espanola: The oil is made with the standards of EVOO guidelines. Point to be noted, all of their olive oils are an extra virgin. Here at La Espanola, we love Mediterranean food and have sourced the finest authentic ingredients from all over the med, including tapas, olive oil, olives, cured meats and much more. Not all extra-virgin oils are created equal, though. The industry isn’t well regulated, meaning some oils are of a much higher standard than others and so it pays to shop around. The best EVOO oils are typically used for salad dressings and drizzling over finished dishes.

Also beware of ambiguous wording. Just because an oil says it’s a ‘product of Spain’, for example, doesn’t mean the olives were grown or harvested there. This can simply mean it’s been imported from elsewhere and bottled there.

But I am recommending the handy olive oil spray format, which is made to the highest quality from Spanish olives, combining refined olive oils and virgin olive oils. Every time you use it, it gives a consistent and measured spray at less than 4 calories, and each bottle should give you 800 sprays. And the cap (which I know looks a bit like those on a shaving mousse) is specially designed to have a triple action – spray, stream and drip which is pressure sensitive. How clever. Three ways to spray (and not pour). La Espanola Olive Oil has a rich, natural, and fruity taste. The La Espanola EVOO is made of 100% natural olive juice. It has a spicy flavor. This oil has a light flavor that doesn’t overpower the food and is a healthy alternative to other cooking oils. The price is great, and the quality is excellent as well. While some oils have a bad aftertaste, this one doesn’t, and I would recommend it to anyone.
