Olive oil help

[Nyknits]

Hello soapers and knitters. Happy worldwide knit in public day! I have an olive oil question. I buy my olive, canola, coconut and avocado oils at Costco. Yesterday I noticed that the kirkland brand of oo states 15% evoo. I didn’t buy it because I wasn’t sure if that little bit might make a difference in my soap. Evoo isn’t an option on soapcalc so I figured I would ask here. Enjoy your weekend and thank you in advance.

It doesn’t change anything on soapcalc, but it can change the color of the oil. EVOO is usually greenish in soap, whereas light OO has an off-white color.

Ok, great. Thank you. I’ll buy it the next time.

For soap making, the difference between EVOO and OO is the color. For cooking, it’s the flavor as EVOO is the first press and OO is the second press. Now when it comes between EVOO, OO and OO Pomace, the later can accelerate trace because of the chemical extraction process.

Thank you for your help. I was afraid to buy it when I saw that it was 15% evoo.

You’re fine. I get my OO, CO and AO from Costco. I also get EVOO, but that’s to cook with.
