In substituting olive oil for vegetable oil you would use the same amounts, but bear in mind olive oil can have a stronger taste than vegetable oil. It may be wise to replace some of the oil with butter or applesauce to avoid a strong olive taste.

What taste does olive have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES!!! The Kalamata olive has a MUCH stronger, saltier taste than your typical Spanish black olive. If you want something a little bit weaker in taste than the Kalamata go with a green olive, or stick with the black olives you find at the grocery store (they have the weakest taste).

If you do want the best Kalamata or Greek Green Olives, I found that Martinis brand has the best taste, at the lowest price. And their olives are straight from Greece, and Kosher certified (incase that matters). You can find them on amazon.com or shop.martinisinc.com.

An olive press is not like a traditional fruit press (apples, pears etc) it will actually grind the olive stone and all to produce the oil. Olive oil is the end result but many people do not realise this also includes the oil obtained from the pit.

What can you replace for olive oil?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Olive oil has a unique taste that can't be matched by any other oil. If this is a case of not having any on hand then you could use corn, canola, or vegetable oil if you are mixing a dressing. If you are planning to use oil and vinegar, or oil alone, then there really isn't a substitute. If you want to substitute it because of health concerns, then bear in mind that 100% pure virgin olive oil is probably the healthiest choice.

Can you use olive oil in place of vegetable oil for marinades?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Technically, yes, you *can*, but, you shouldn't. Here's why: Although it is oil-based, there is a lot of stuff in there that is not oil, and a lot of it is not friendly to heat. Sugars will burn, as will garlic, spices, and herbs. Vinegar or other water-based flavorings in the marinade will boil off and evaporate, concentrating the already burned and extremely un-tasty flavors you have going. Plus, there's no need to. Cooking tightens proteins, so, no additional flavor is going to be imparted to the food. So, in conclusion, it's not tasty and it's unnecessary. If you want to use a marinade as a sauce, and get the flavor of the marinade on after it's cooked, then reserve some of the marinade BEFORE it hits the food. Some people will tell you to boil it after you take the meat, etc. out of the marinade to use as a sauce, but, it can't get hotter than boiling temperature, and some bacteria can survive 212 degrees. So, I think it's better safe than sorry. Nut, it's your choice.

Is olive oil good for deep frying?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Light" olive oil will smoke less than "Virgin" olive oils and be fine for most frying purposes. If you want more flavor, you can use mid grade (virgin but not extra virgin), but be careful with the temperature. The highest grades are usually used for direct consumption such as in salad dressings.

What is refined olive pomace oil?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For refining the oil, there are three basic processes in the refinery. First process is neutralizing the oil in the neutralizer to remove the Free Fatty Acids (FFA) by adding caustic soda. Oil is heated upto about 60°C by thermic fluid coils and oil is stirred by stirrer. Then soap stock formed due to chemical reaction is allowed to settle at the bottom of the neutralizer from where it is taken out into soap pan. Neutralized oil is drawn into the second vessel called bleacher where colour of oil is removed by bleaching process with aid of chemicals such as carbon black and bleaching earth. Oil is generally heated upto 110°C by thermic fluid coils. Stirring is also continued. Bleaching process is done under vacuum. Bleached oil then goes to the filter press where bleaching earth and chemicals are separated and clean bleached oil is then drawn to deodourizer where oil is heated above 110°C through thermic fluid coils and then live steam is given to the oil from the bottom steam nozzles and temperature of oil is raised upto 200 to 220°C through thermic fluid coils.
