Nutrition Facts
Product Description
This olive oil has just a subtle hint of olive flavor. Use it in place of plain vegetable oil in all types of cooking, including baking. Extra light tasting is an excellent choice for high heat sautéing and stir-frying because it has a higher smoke point than our other olive oil varieties.

Olive oil is a key part of my kitchen supplies. We cook with it, use it in salads, and use it in many recipes. Normally, I prefer extra virgin olive oil. Healthy for one; it has some taste to it.
However, there is also a role for extra light olive oil. For one thing, its lack of taste makes it palatable for people who may find extra virgin olive oil not to be to their taste. Second (and this is a bit exotic), this is one of the approaches to the so-called "Shangri-la" Diet. I tried that diet once, and lost about 10 pounds--and have kept most of that off since then (A long story, but the Atkins diet helped me shed 20 pounds, much of which came back--I tried Shangri-la to retain some of the gains from Atkins--and it worked!).
Anyhow, while I prefer Extra virgin olive oil (and I do like the Bertolli brand), this Extra light has a useful role to play.

Good Enough for a Cake! ( a review of Bertolli's Extra Light Olive Oil)
December 29, 2008
We try to use olive oil for as many purposes as possible because of the health benefits. The best olive oils are first pressed/cold pressed because there is less processing involved and the oil has higher levels of the good stuff, plus it is generally of a lighter nature with a less pungent taste.
The latter is particularly important when you are cooking for picky little kids. And it's one of the reasons we use Bertolli's extra-light. This extra-light oil is nearly tasteless. HOW TASTELESS? I use it all the time in cake recipes. It absolutely makes no difference to the taste.

I use extra light olive oil in the
deep fat fryer and for baking. It's
the only kind of oil I use and hopefully
healthier. This is a good buy.

Fake
Olive oil turns solid in the refrigerator (about 40-45 degrees). This oil did NOT pass the test! It is not real olive oil; it is some other cheap oil with flavoring and perfume... Read more
