is this particular pomace a crude olive oil or can you cook with it also?

I would never cook with or ingest any olive oil labeled "pomace." Not only does it taste dramatically different, but also the extraction process is different than the EVOO we usually eat; pomace *can* include chemical solvents and other impurities (depending on the specific processor). This is wonderful oil for making soap but a bad choice for eating.

It is for making soaps or body oils so I would think, no but do not know for sure. Hope that helps.

Not for cooking. This is normally waste that couldn't be extracted by clean mechanical pressing. They use solvents on the crushed olive mush to put the remaining oil in solution and then separate that solution from the solids. Then the solvent is removed by heating, more or less. The resulting oil still has traces of solvent.

No, do not cook with it. I bought this when I first started making soap, but now that I know how it's made, I won't even use it for soap making.

I don't believe it is for cooking. I used it for soap making. I think your local grocer is a safer bet.

Sorry but I can't use for cooking. I just use it only for my hairs. Its really good for hairs.I give 5stars.

I haven't done so myself and am not sure that I would advise it. It does turn into pure, liquid oil as soon as you begin to handle it. I actually use it as oil for my pop corn when I cook on the stove. Adds a great flavor! It's certainly safe to eat, but eating it alone is going to depend on what you can stomach. Good luck!

No. Not to me. I'm pleased with the smell. I think olive oil has a worse smell and I've still used it. I saut foods and rub meats with it. It is thicker, but I keep it refridgerated so it takes a minute to thin out. Hope this helps.

It is great for baking and sauteing, but anything at a high temp requires a different oil. E.g., I use grapeseed if I roast veggies.

Don't buy! It is raw food not oil. I made the same mistake. Ate some and threw away 99 percent off it. It is not oil.

You should never use extra virgin olive oil in soap,, always use Olive pomace oil or regular pure olive oil , grade A olive oil makes a better soap

We always use olive oil in our cookware. Even though it is a non stick surface we feel that using oil will preserve its life. We really like this cookware.

You could use this for soap but it would be very expensive. Generally you want to use an olive oil pomace as opposed to extra virgin when making soap.

Yes to both questions. I have used olive oil and cocoanut oil, with good results

It does not list it as an ingredient just olive oil. There is an 800 number on the bottle 800-547-9812 perhaps they can give you more information.

I only use olive oil in mine and never use pam since it causes build up . You can use your own spritzer with olive oil.

No. It is oil from Spain, but if you like the typical fruity and stronger taste of Spanish olive oil over the milder Italians, you will be disappointed. Costco's Italian Organic Virgin Olive Oil (Kirkland brand) tastes much better than this and it is Italian.

I have used milk, soy milk, almond milk, buttermilk and water. The results are good each time. Even though I am a fairly adventurous cook, I have not yet tried to use olive oil. I have had good results substituting apple sauce for oil. Good luck...enjoy your experiments!

It is not olive oil. You should research it so you know what you are getting. Some people feel it is safe, others think it is a very unhealthy oil. I use this particular brand because it is non-GMO.

I have not oiled mine yet but I'd probably go with what I use to oil my grain mill, olive oil.

Olive oil has a low flash point and burns away too fast on a grill. Canola oil or vegetable oil are better, or Pam.

Now that I couldn't swear to. Not that it would make it horrible, just don't think it would mix. Put it this way, you could probably eat the salad, but you wouldn't say "that was delicious". I would recommend something like this..."http://www.oliveoilstoreandmore.com/ ". Really good quality "infused" flavored oils (and vinegars). Good luck.
