4.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Olive Oil, April 22, 2006

By

This review is from: Goya Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 25 Pack (Misc.)

This is a very nice oil with a moderately fruity flavor. Does not have much of a peppery finish and is ideal for those who are looking for a smooth olive oil that does not finish with a distinct burn. Good for dipping and salads.

5.0 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC TASTE AND HEALTH BENEFITS TOO -- SMALL SIZE ASSURES FRESHNESS WHEN YOU USE IT!, February 15, 2006

IN A NUTSHELL:

This Goya "EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL" is one of the smartest buys one can make. This is "Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, Imported from Spain and is stated to be "All Natural & Cold Pressed". Bear in mind that "All Natural" is not "Certified Organic".

WHAT EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE IS USED FOR:

That being said, this is not an oil for cooking, as it has a very low smoke point. It is excellent for salads and for marinating and boasts a pretty low acid level. For cooking try their "Extra Light" product as it has a much higher smoke point.

HEALTH BENEFITS:

PROVEN PROTECTION AGAINST ATHEROSCLEROSIS:

Eating foods high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), [found in Olive, canola & flaxseed oil] will increase the blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids. ALA has been shown to confer a large measure of protection against atherosclerosis. As part of the "Mediterranean" diet, researchers used products high in ALA, and found that the ALA reduced the risk of dying from heart disease by 70% over the first 27 months.

Canola and Peanut oil also contain large amounts of ALA and are similarly cardio-protective. The presence of a larger proportion of "mono-saturated fats" is central to the cardio-protective properties of the oil.

WHICH SIZE IS BEST FOR YOU?

This and most of their conventional oils are available at most groceries and this exact product sells for about $3. for 8 ounces. However, it does vary regional and depending on the packaging [bottle or tin] may cost somewhat less by volume. Bear in mind, that Olive will become rancid if you store it for prolonged periods. You can, however, extend this period by keeping the oil in a cool and dry place, preferably dark. Also, don't buy the largest containers unless you can finish them within 1-2 months. Smaller containers like this 8 ounce bottle may be more costly per volume than the liter or gallon size containers, but the oil will be fresh when you use it and that is critical.

Kinda wish they came in larger sizes so there would not be all these little glass-bottles left-over, but I prefere the glass containers to plastic, and I cannot find better taste or quality, so I will happily make-do.
