Re:free-range meats & olive oil

[Guest guest]

Ok thanks for reply Bee...and thanks to others who replied re this thread as

well.

Regarding Extra virgin olive oil I do think you can buy decent brands at the

supermarket if you buy sensibly ...our supermarkets for eg have " home brand " &

this is not a brand of extra virgin Olive oil I would trust much ...it is the

cheapest & sold in clear glass bottles ....(it still claims to be extra virgin

& cold pressed.)

Logically if a quality olive oil is produced then you would assume that the

manufacturer would understand enough to know that light would/can degrade the

product over time & would theresfore want to make sure it was not in a clear

bottle..if they won't even take this step to ensure quality ..you have to wonder

what other quality steps they are also skipping in the production/shipping

process.

But there are some decent Italian brands sold in 4 litre opaque tin drums in the

supermarkets(imo) ..(I realize its still a bit of a crap shoot though)
