You've probably seen it in the supermarket at some point: refined olive oil. But what exactly is refined olive oil and why is it so often used in cooking? In this blog, we explain how refined olive oil is made, what the difference is with extra virgin olive oil and whether it is still healthy to use.
You've probably seen it before: in the supermarket, you buy a bottle of olive oil for a few euros, while premium olive oil, like Sidi's, is a lot more expensive. How can that difference be so big?
The price of olive oil says a lot about its quality, origin and method of production. Whereas cheaper olive oil is often mass-produced or mixed with other oils, an organic extra virgin olive oil comes from a much more careful process.
In this blog, you will read exactly what determines the price of olive oil, how to recognise blended oil and why organic olive oil is healthier and more sustainable.
