Interesting as lard is just bacon fat

Is lard available in the Philippines?  I don't recall seeing it.

Caution!  I didn't know this but another member here warned me.  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.

Found this at S&R today.  Most mayo here is terrible.

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:

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

You are right on the Member's Mark that I had bought at S&R.  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.

As long as it doesn't expire next month, that's actually a great find based on the ingredients. I wouldn't be surprised if they charged around 2000p for it.

It was around 575, I think.  It has a Best By date of 7/27/23,

Could be a crazy sale but that seems way off, even iherb sells it  for more than that, at half the size of yours.

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.

In layman's terms, why is it healthy to fry my bacon and eggs in olive oil and not in canola oil (for example)?

Why would it make any difference since all the animal fat will render into whatever oil you use.

Because EVOO has more healthy stuff in it.

The presence of EVOO in cooking increased the phenolics identified in the raw foods

The higher temperature you cook, the less healthy it gets though:

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.
