Im exploring olive oils but I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be looking for. I have read there are sautee olive oils and dressing olive oils and probably others that have different uses. I bought a jar of Nablus olive oil from an international grocery store here in the US and it’s so bitter. It ruined all dressings I made with it. I have sautéed in it and I didn’t really taste it at that point but I can’t turn the heat up as much as I want because it smokes up my house too much.
Can you give me some ideas on what I should look for when tasting olive oils for dressings and drizzling over hummus or bread? Also, some direction in choosing olive oils to sauté with. Thanks for your time!
