Hi Theresa. I am really excited about some of the newer olis on the market, like Zero Acre which is made from sugar cane, and algae oil. They are good choices for neutral flavor, high heat cooking, have a lot of beneftis over vegetable or seed oils.
I am loving your book & newsletters. They are so informative & the recipes are amazing!
After reading this I checked out California Olive Ranch. They offer an extra virgin olive oil in a box that says 100% California. It’s equal to 4 bottles. Their Extra Virgin olive oil in a bottle says Argentina, Portugal, Chile +10% California(Global Blend).
I am confused as to which one to purchase.
Thanks in advance for your assistance. This is all new to me.
Hi Robin! Thank you for your kind words! I used to purchase the bag in a box from them and it is a fantastic way to keep the oil fresh. I prefer the 100% California to the blends. CA Olive Ranch is a good company with high standards.
Thanks so much for your input. One more question if you don’t mind. Do you prefer Partanna? If so would you recommend Estate grown extra virgin olive oil or the robust fruity & vibrant? There are so many choices!
This post came at the perfect time because I am researching the best oils to use in cooking as part of a Brain Longevity presentation. I have come across these myths in my research, so thanks for helping me out! There is a lot of discussion about both canola oil and coconut oil. I have mostly avoided using coconut oil because it is such a highly saturated fat. I just picture that fat clinging to the insides of my blood vessels, and I am turned off! What oil do you think (beside extra-virgin olive oil) is the best oil to use in place of canola oil for a quick searing of fish and chicken? Thanks!
What about Zero Acre Cultured Oil? It is low in linoleic acid. High in monosaturated fat. Please advise.

I think it is a good supermarket brand. Which one you choose is a matter of personal preference. I really like the fruity and vibrant flavor profile.
Thanks so much! Congratulations on your son’s graduation! I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day.
Thanks Robin.
