This means that there isn’t a single “diet” that encompasses the entire Mediterranean region—the spice-laden dishes of Morocco bear little resemblance to the lemon and caper-laced cuisine of southern Italy. Rather, \u003cstrong>the Mediterranean diet is about what these cuisines have in common: a daily emphasis on vegetables and fruits, beans and lentils, whole grains, more seafood than meat and poultry, and heart-healthy olive oil\u003c/strong>.

In 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) adopted chemical and sensory standards for olive oil grades similar to those established by the IOC.

We also sent each of the oils to an independent laboratory for chemical evaluation and to 10 trained olive oil tasters to get a second opinion on their flavor quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our tasters were underwhelmed by the supermarket choices, but in the end, one oil stood out above the rest: California Olive Ranch Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil. We discovered that this largely boils down to the company’s control over every stage of the production process. The company uses a relatively new growing and harvesting process called super-high-density planting, in which the trees are planted together much more tightly than they would be in traditional groves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, the olives can be harvested by machines more efficiently than they would be if they were picked by hand. (Speed is of the essence, since olives begin to change flavor from the moment they are separated from the tree and must be pressed as quickly as possible to ensure that they retain the desired flavor profile.) Then, by bottling very close to the source, the company cuts out the risk that the oil will oxidize and spoil during transport to another facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And unlike some producers that sell their oil in clear glass or even plastic bottles, which expose the oil to more damaging light, our winning manufacturer uses dark-green glass bottles that help shield the oil.

Some of the most commonly found varieties in the U.S. market are Arbequina and Picual from Spain, Koroneiki from Greece, and Coratina from Italy. Arbequina is noted for its ripe fruitiness, low bitterness, and pungency. Picual is very fruity with medium bitterness and pungency. Koroneiki is strongly fruity and herbaceous, with mild bitterness and pungency. Coratina is strongly green, herbaceous, bitter, and pungent.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Keeping Olive Oil Fresh\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>These three things can help you assess the quality of an extra-virgin olive oil before you buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Harvest Date\u003c/strong>: A “best by” date might be 24 to 32 months after the oil was bottled, which in turn can be one to two years after it was pressed—so by the time that “best by” date rolls around, the oil could be about four years old. \u003cstrong>A harvest date is a more precise indication of freshness\u003c/strong>, since olive oil begins to degrade about 18 months after harvest. Look for the most recent date (certainly within the last 12 months), and note that in Europe and the United States, olives are harvested in the fall and winter, so most bottles list the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dark Glass\u003c/strong>: Avoid clear glass; dark glass shields the oil from damaging light. Avoid clear plastic, too; it’s not a good barrier to light or air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oil Origin\u003c/strong>: Bottlers often print where their oil has been sourced from on the label; look for oil that has been sourced from a single country.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Storing Olive Oil\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Never keep olive oil on your kitchen counter, since strong sunlight will oxidize the chlorophyll in the oil, producing stale, harsh flavors\u003c/strong>. Keeping your olive oil next to the stove is also a bad idea as heat accelerates spoilage. We recommend storing oil in a dark pantry or cupboard; do not store olive oil in the fridge, as it can become cloudy, thick, and viscous and can take a few hours to return to normal. You can keep unopened oil for about a year; but once opened, it lasts only about three months—so don’t buy in bulk. And if possible, check the harvest date to ensure the freshest bottle possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To check for freshness, pour a little oil in a small glass and sniff it. If it reminds you of crayons or stale walnuts, toss it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article originally appeared on \u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/499-everything-you-need-to-know-about-olive-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">America's Test Kitchen\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"How to shop for, cook with, and store olive oil.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1515518811,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":22,"wordCount":1462},"headData":{"title":"Everything You Need to Know About Olive Oil | KQED","description":"How to shop for, cook with, and store olive oil.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"124338 https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/?p=124338","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2018/01/09/everything-you-need-to-know-about-olive-oil/","disqusTitle":"Everything You Need to Know About Olive Oil","nprByline":"\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/499-everything-you-need-to-know-about-olive-oil\">America's Test Kitchen\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>","path":"/bayareabites/124338/everything-you-need-to-know-about-olive-oil","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Olive oil, which is simply juice pressed from olives, has been an important part of Mediterranean cooking for thousands of years\u003c/strong>.

Some of the most commonly found varieties in the U.S. market are Arbequina and Picual from Spain, Koroneiki from Greece, and Coratina from Italy. Arbequina is noted for its ripe fruitiness, low bitterness, and pungency. Picual is very fruity with medium bitterness and pungency. Koroneiki is strongly fruity and herbaceous, with mild bitterness and pungency. Coratina is strongly green, herbaceous, bitter, and pungent.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Keeping Olive Oil Fresh\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>These three things can help you assess the quality of an extra-virgin olive oil before you buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Harvest Date\u003c/strong>: A “best by” date might be 24 to 32 months after the oil was bottled, which in turn can be one to two years after it was pressed—so by the time that “best by” date rolls around, the oil could be about four years old. \u003cstrong>A harvest date is a more precise indication of freshness\u003c/strong>, since olive oil begins to degrade about 18 months after harvest. Look for the most recent date (certainly within the last 12 months), and note that in Europe and the United States, olives are harvested in the fall and winter, so most bottles list the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dark Glass\u003c/strong>: Avoid clear glass; dark glass shields the oil from damaging light. Avoid clear plastic, too; it’s not a good barrier to light or air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oil Origin\u003c/strong>: Bottlers often print where their oil has been sourced from on the label; look for oil that has been sourced from a single country.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Storing Olive Oil\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Never keep olive oil on your kitchen counter, since strong sunlight will oxidize the chlorophyll in the oil, producing stale, harsh flavors\u003c/strong>. Keeping your olive oil next to the stove is also a bad idea as heat accelerates spoilage. We recommend storing oil in a dark pantry or cupboard; do not store olive oil in the fridge, as it can become cloudy, thick, and viscous and can take a few hours to return to normal. You can keep unopened oil for about a year; but once opened, it lasts only about three months—so don’t buy in bulk. And if possible, check the harvest date to ensure the freshest bottle possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To check for freshness, pour a little oil in a small glass and sniff it. If it reminds you of crayons or stale walnuts, toss it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article originally appeared on \u003ca href=\"https://www.americastestkitchen.com/articles/499-everything-you-need-to-know-about-olive-oil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">America's Test Kitchen\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/124338/everything-you-need-to-know-about-olive-oil","authors":["byline_bayareabites_124338"],"categories":["bayareabites_2695","bayareabites_1321","bayareabites_1245"],"tags":["bayareabites_10897","bayareabites_11260","bayareabites_8347"],"featImg":"bayareabites_124344","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_97191":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_97191","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"97191","score":null,"sort":[1435186447000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"recipe-puffy-ligurian-style-rosemary-focaccia-bread","title":"Puffy Ligurian-Style Rosemary Focaccia Bread","publishDate":1435186447,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>The focaccia of Genoa, a city in the Italian region of Liguria, is renowned for its crisp, olive oil–saturated crust and soft, puffy interior.

In 1989, with the third generation at the helm, the family made a big decision to focus exclusively on sourcing the best olive oil possible. But they didn’t have a storefront then.

That recipe was unlike anything I had made before. It began with dried chickpeas and included almost as much tahini as beans. The real secret was to first cook the chickpeas — dry — with a touch of baking soda. This step roughs up the exterior of the beans and encourages the skins to slip off. (The skins, hummus making veterans agree, create those small grainy lumps in the finished product.) After adding water, many of the skins float to the surface, where they can be skimmed off. Plus, the alkalizing effect of the soda makes the beans cook extra fast and (supposedly) makes them more digestible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_96379\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring.jpg\" alt=\"Cooking the chickpeas dry with a little baking soda speeds up cooking and helps remove pesky chickpea skins.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1331\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96379\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring-400x277.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring-800x555.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring-1440x998.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring-1180x818.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring-960x666.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cooking the chickpeas dry with a little baking soda speeds up cooking and helps remove pesky chickpea skins. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Over time, I have modified the \u003cem>Jerusalem\u003c/em> recipe.

Most of those recipes required a can of chickpeas, some olive oil, and a drizzle of tahini from a rogue jar stuck in the back of my refrigerator. But those experiments were never really any better than what I could find at the store. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I discovered the silky smooth hummus in Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/31/dining/jerusalem-has-all-the-right-ingredients.html\">\u003cem>Jerusalem\u003c/em>\u003c/a> cookbook. That recipe was unlike anything I had made before. It began with dried chickpeas and included almost as much tahini as beans. The real secret was to first cook the chickpeas — dry — with a touch of baking soda. This step roughs up the exterior of the beans and encourages the skins to slip off. (The skins, hummus making veterans agree, create those small grainy lumps in the finished product.) After adding water, many of the skins float to the surface, where they can be skimmed off. Plus, the alkalizing effect of the soda makes the beans cook extra fast and (supposedly) makes them more digestible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_96379\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring.jpg\" alt=\"Cooking the chickpeas dry with a little baking soda speeds up cooking and helps remove pesky chickpea skins.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1331\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96379\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring-400x277.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring-800x555.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring-1440x998.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring-1180x818.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/05/stirring-960x666.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cooking the chickpeas dry with a little baking soda speeds up cooking and helps remove pesky chickpea skins. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Over time, I have modified the \u003cem>Jerusalem\u003c/em> recipe.
