Olive Oil

[ESB7]

Tesco Pranburi have extra virgin oil at 90 baht for 500 ml...bargain, its half price at the moment, is bottled U.K and tastes as good as bertoli...anyone one know where can get Feta cheese?

Just check to make sure that it is not "Pomace" olive oil.

If it is........very low quality made from the left over pressings of other olive oils and can contain what looks like sediment. Also solvents can be used to extract this oil from the left over pressings.

But if it is to your taste.........

PS. Also poss so cheap because it is past its "Best before" date??

My Lotus have just rebuilt their entire Fruit & Veg, Meat & Fish and Dairy Sections. They have discontinued Bertoli Extra Virgin Olive Oil Margarine by the look of it. None on the regular shelves anymore but they were 'giving it away' the other day, in a special discount bin, for 80 Baht a tub! I scored a few of them.

Sorry...

as first consider that a good oil have to be "olio extravergine di oliva (extra virgin olive oil)" just "olive oil" is not enough... also if "olio vergine di oliva (virgin olive oil)" could be not too bad

also consider that in a good oil probably just the bottle it cost more than 50 baht...

Yes it is Extra virgin and tastes the same as Bertoli Extra Virgin Olive....Makro were selling Bertoli Extra Virgin Olive 150 for 500ml a few weeks ago, so Bargains are out ther for the real stuff.

Good address!!

They also produce a very good Mascarpone Cheese to make a serious Tiramisù.

I visited the factory one years ago, very clean and good equipment inside, including theyr own analysis laboratory.
