What do u use for the extra virgin olive oil? Cooking? Dipping bread? On salad?

Last few years i did use Basso. But i wanted to try different brands. Then, Colavita. And now, Monte Verde. Normally i use extra virgin olive oil for my salad dressing and my pasta cooking. I don't think that EVOO would taste the same for the chinese cooking. By the way, i use Grapeseed Oil for my chinese cooking because of health benefits.

Pungent? Maybe that's how EVOO smells to your nose?

Spanish EVOO, not yet. Maybe some day. Grapeseed oil from Justlife and Country Farm Organics. My parents bought in a special discount price because they're regular customers for years. If EVOO not suit your tastebud, u should choose, maybe Canola or Sunflower Oil?

It also depends how u use them for your food.
