If you're using a lot of olive oil (a questionable proposition to begin

with) it's more important rather than less that you use the best possible

quality. How large is your $9 bottle, and how much do you go through in a

month? My favorite olive oil, Bariani, costs $19 for a liter, but it's

also available in bulk at $265 for a 5-gallon bucket, which works out to

$13.25 per quart or essentially $14 per liter. Here's their site, for in

case this interests you. (It's a REALLY good oil.)

My bottle is 12 oz. I'm glad you asked because somehow it tipped and

was leaking slowly. Thanks! I go through about one bottle a month at

my current use, but I am on a mission to replace some of the

proccessed foods that hubby insists on keeping: like mayonnaise. The

recipe for mayo calls for 3/4-1 cup and since I don't have whey it

would only last a few weeks.

Sally mentions Sunflower oil, but I've never seen that before.

Why is olive oil a questionable proposition? It is all over NT

recipes. Actually, I find myself using half coconut when it calls for

olive because I prefer the fluffier texture.

Just a question...you said you don't have whey. It only takes a little.

You can easily get some from any yogurt or milk you have.

Sunflower oil is available at I think most all health food stores and

even reg. grocery stores.

I thought whey had to come from raw milk?

Thanks!
