I just wanted to tell you about Gallo olive oil. Perhaps you already use Gallo. I buy the 3 litre can at No Frills. I made an 80% OO, 20% CO goat milk soap, 34.5% lye concentration, yesterday. I have made it for years. It has no colour or scent, only add-ins are sugar dissolved in lye water, goats milk, colloidal oatmeal & SL. This oil has been my go-to for years because it makes a hard, light coloured bar even with goats milk. Other OOs discolour more. I soap at 90-95 degrees and leave uncovered on countertop. I can't leave it for 24 hours because it will be too hard to cut. Even at 20 hours it is hard. I thought I might try 33% lye concentration the next time to make it able to sit in the mold until I have time to cut it.
