Is this extra virgin olive oil?

No. It is labeled pure olive oil, a refined blend with a milder flavor and higher smoke point than extra virgin.

Can I use it for frying?

Yes. Its higher smoke point makes it better suited to pan frying and sauteing than extra virgin oil.

Is it good for salads and dipping?

It works in a pinch, but its neutral flavor adds little to vinaigrettes or bread dipping. An extra virgin oil is better there.

How should I store it?

Keep the capped bottle in a cool, dark cupboard and use it within a few months of opening for the best flavor.

Does it contain additives?

The label states no artificial flavors or colors and 0 g trans fat per serving.

Our take on the Great Value Classic Olive Oil, 17 fl oz

Great Value Classic Olive Oil is a 17 fl oz bottle of pure olive oil sold as an everyday cooking staple. It is a blend rather than an extra virgin oil, so it has a milder, more neutral flavor and a higher smoke point that suits sauteing, frying and baking. Shoppers rate it highly as a budget pantry basic, though it lacks the peppery character and polyphenols that extra virgin oils bring to dressings and finishing. It suits home cooks who go through oil quickly and want one bottle for routine cooking rather than a premium finishing oil.

Pros

Neutral flavor works in both savory and baked recipes
Higher smoke point than extra virgin, so it holds up to frying

Cons

Blended pure olive oil, not extra virgin, so little aroma or peppery finish
Not the right choice for dipping, finishing or vinaigrettes where flavor matters
17 fl oz is small for households that fry often
Plastic bottle rather than dark glass, so it stales faster once opened
