Someone here (I forget who, sorry) has asked several times if people
have forgotten about "Pure Olive Oil" whenever EVOO is mentioned... I
never forgot about it because I didn't know about it existed. I knew
about regular, refined OO, but not anything called "pure". Well, I
happened to go to Costco two days in a row this week and looked at
oils each time. Yep, they sell "Pure Olive Oil". I looked it up and
apparently it's a mixture of refined olive oil and EVOO... if there's
a specific percentage of each, I missed that part. In any case, I
worked the math and buying Kirkland brand EVOO or Kirkland brand Pure
Olive Oil works out to be ± $6 for either one. A deciding factor, for
me, is the amount I can buy it in. Kirkland brand EVOO comes in one 2
liter jug, but I have to buy two 2 liter jugs of Kirkland's Pure OO
and I prefer buying one at a time because I do not want to store that
amount of oil.

So, I have this question for you: I use EVOO as my everyday cooking
oil. I use it for salad dressing and I saute with it. Since cost is
not a factor, can you think of any compelling reason why I should
switch?
