Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Where would I find a " cold pressed " extra virgin olive oil? I guess I had never looked that closely before but I don't ever recall seeing the cold pressed part. Bruce mentioned coconut oil, the nice thing about it, is that it comes in different temperatures so you can fry with it, the bad part is it evaporates quickly and you use quite a bit but it is good.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Just look on the back of the label. It will either say cold pressed, extra virgin OR it will say made with olive oil blends. Sam's club always has some as does Costco (large containers at either) as do all grocery stores, but they usually have smaller containers and much higher costs.
