I posted that I bought a huge bottle of olive oil at S&R, and he said that it can go rancid. Sure enough, it tastes terrible now and is just taking up shelf space. I also mentioned only use glass bottles, never plastic. 15 hours ago, OnMyWay said: Found this at S&R today. Most mayo here is terrible. Plastic? 5 hours ago, Dave Hounddriver said: as long as the Costco olive oil will last at least 2 months after opening Besides being in a plastic jug, Costco is notorious for nearly expired products sold in the Philippines. Check the date of production, it's the most important aspect of anything oil-related since oxidation can start immediately, especially in this climate: Quote Short-term temperature fluctuations between 18 and 42.5 °C have an association with lipid oxidation, which can degrade oil quality from EVOO to VOO. The relationship between high temperature and lipid oxidation was well documented in the olive oil literature for long storages. Our results remark that bottled olive oil is particularly prone to oxidation. - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ejlt.202100242 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Production date 15/09/21, expires 15/09/23. So it was a year old, in plastic, when I bought it in 9/23. No wonder it tastes bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea it was so expensive, but S&R did have it marked down. I can't remember how much but I know I paid ~575 for it because I went over the recent before I tossed it yesterday. I just looked at the Choosen website and it is $19.99, about 1091 pesos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it make any difference since all the animal fat will render into whatever oil you use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because EVOO has more healthy stuff in it. Quote The presence of EVOO in cooking increased the phenolics identified in the raw foods https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0308814615006810 The higher temperature you cook, the less healthy it gets though: Quote The cooking temperature was the most important factor in the degradation of EVOO polyphenols. In the case of time, it was only a significant factor for some polyphenolic compounds and was not a significant factor for the sum of the polyphenols. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7022658/ On 1/28/2023 at 5:06 PM, Kingpin said: Everyone hates it, me included Tommy Osmeña, included: Quote Osmeña files motion for reconsideration on Carbon market modernization case https://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/1952403/cebu/local-news/osmena-files-motion-for-reconsideration-on-carbon-market-modernization-case Edited February 2, 2023 by Kingpin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
