What nuances should you know about:

1. For salads, you will have to buy the most expensive - unrefined with the inscription extra virgin. It contains the maximum amount of nutrients. The cost of the product is determined by the fact that only whole olives are taken for the production of high-quality oil. This method of preparation does not use chemistry.
2. Many people think that frying in olive oil is a waste of money because most of the nutrients evaporate. This is true. But it is olive oil that does not begin to release carcinogenic substances, which makes it at least safe.
3. The best quality oil is considered to be the one that gives bitterness. It will not affect the taste of the dishes.
4. You can buy high-quality oil only in dark glass bottles. Plastic or transparent glass should not even be considered.
5. Always pay attention to the production date: the fresher the oil, the better.
