What You Need To Know When Buying Olive Oil Atlanta

By Edna Booker


For any cook, using the right ingredients is the perfect way to elevate your cooking to the next level. For many people, the right olive oil Atlanta is just what you need to give extra flavor and nutritional value to your dishes. Here are some tips that you need to know when you shop for this product.

To make this product, olives are removed from the tree and either pressed or cut up. Oil and water leaks out. The raw product is processed and the water is separated out. If it is not processed extensively, it is labelled as being "extra virgin". This has the highest nutrient content and is the most beneficial for your heart. Next comes "virgin" that has been processed more and has had some taste changes. There are other grades as well but these are even more highly processed.

Many health problems stem from saturated fat in our diets. This can come from the use of butter or other animal fats. Olive oil does not have the same effect on our health as it does not clog arteries. It also can help individuals who may be prone to developing Alzheimer's, cancer or other conditions. If you are concerned about your cholesterol levels or the quality of your diet, you may want to increase your consumption of this liquid.

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.

There are many stores that offer these products at tasting bars. The staff will often be quite knowledgeable about the differences between the oils and suggest different ways that you can use it in your cooking. Some vinegars and other products will work better with certain varieties. You should record the different tastes that you prefer so that if you come across them online or in other locations you will know which varieties you want to buy.

Once you have selected your oil there are things that you can do to keep it tasting as good as the day you brought it home. Sunlight and heat can both break this oil down and change its flavor. If you make sure to store it in a cool place where the sunlight will not hit it for extended periods you will find it will stay good longer. Then you can enjoy this product as it was meant to taste.
