Why do Scandinavians don't eat olive oil? Tradition? Price?

Based Sweden.

Isn't olive oil kinda bad for cooking stuff on a pan

Never seen anyone use olive oil in my life

>raps
>not ryps
Pleb taste

>So you don't prefer to expend more money into quality food?
Olive oil just has a taste that doesn't fit certain foods as well as other vegetable oils. Nothing to do with quality. In fact some are healthier than olive oil.

It's just a matter of using the right olive oil for the task. Unrefined olive oil (extra virgin and such) has a significantly lower smoke point and can be bad for certain tasks that require a high temperature. Refined olive oil, on the other hand, has a pretty high smoke point.

>Plenty of people here do. If we didn't, olive oil wouldn't be in our stores in the first place.

You have it in the supermarket, but is it as consumed as other choices? I thought it wasn't.

From what I saw in Denmark they use butter most of the time for friying (and the sunflower oil and others), and cesar or remoulade for salads/smorrebrod/etc.

What sauces do people use in Norway?

>Are you saying that all olive oil is good quality and all rapeseed oil is bad quality?

Extra virgin olive oil is the best oil you can get.

What said. Under no fucking circumstances do you use a fine olive oil for cooking. You use it for drizzling over your food, using in a vinaigrette, and so on.

depends on what you want to fry, i would never use it with meat etc but to fry vegetables yes. rapeseed also works to fry with but i would never pour it on a salad.

Why yes, I use coconut oil for cooking. How could you tell?

>is it as consumed as other choices?
No, neither am I saying we are. Your opening post and the post I quoted is saying we don't consume it and I'm telling you're wrong and that we consume it.
>From what I saw in Denmark they use butter most of the time for friying (and the sunflower oil and others), and cesar or remoulade for salads/smorrebrod/etc.
Yes, butter and neutral oils are used a lot for for pan frying here. Olive oil has a reputation of being healthier and has likely seen a rise in consumption this past decade, but it's typically the more expensive choice and none of the food in our cuisine calls for the taste the unrefined olive oils give the food either, so it'll likely remain the less popular choice.
>What sauces do people use in Norway?
Brown gravy and butter-based sauces like Béarnaise and Hollandaise are popular. There are also some Norwegian takes on butter-based sauces that are common with fish.
>Extra virgin olive oil is the best oil you can get.
Define "best" in this context.

Rapeseed is pretty bad for you tbf. Very bad fat profile compared to extra virgin olive oil, so there's that at least.

the reference taste of olive oil for 99% of norwegians tastes like solvents, and good olive oil is almost impossibly expensive unless youre either rich or an enthusiast.
How much cheaper is it in olive growing countries? I imagine you too have generic brand very cheap bottles of "Extra Virgin" in stores, but are mid level olive oils more affordable for you?

What is avocado oil like?

*stomps on the bottle*

Very nice, high smoke point and lots of monounsaturated fats. The flavor is strong though, maybe not as strong as olive oil but strong enough so that is can be good on a salad when chilled. Pretty expensive though so that sucks.
The ultimate S++ gigatier oil is macademia nut oil. Which just destroys all other oils below it in health and flavor.

I just searched for Carbonell, a popular olive oil brand (maybe that could fit in mid level): the ordinary one (not the "great selection") is 5,24 euros/1L.

2 liter bottle of rapeseed oil - 2 euro
0.5 liter bottle of cheapest olive oil - 4 euro

No thanks.
Also, I cook with butter instead.

All dishes/foods/tradition... even here in the friggin' Baltics yo. We're not used to it/doesn't match. Little of it is used. Possible to buy it. Price is more expensive but not terrible in supermarkets.
>>Had Catalan girlfriend. Couldn't live without olive oil. Olive oil everything. Wtf. Relationship RIP
...lel

6 euro for normal one

Some dishes obviously need smör too. I just meant as cooking oil. Mostly southern swedes use rapeseed oil

So you go for the most expensive? Because 500g butter is like 5 €.

Butter lasts like 3x as long and tastes 100x better.

But it's by your own admission 10 times as expensive as rapeseed oil. So even if it lasts 3 times as long, it's still more expensive and by quite a margin. Though it does taste better, no question there.

nice numbers, boys. This is pretty much what I though. We dont have good and affordable big bottle options like you guys.

I never use olive oil to fry.
Imho it's a waste and it can overpower whatever your cooking.
But it's fine on sallads and other stuff.

Stop being autistic user.
Olive oil is still more expensive than rapeseed oil. If I use it or not, does not matter.
Hell, I could use the tears of virgin Greek women if I wanted to and it wouldn't change the price difference between the two.

Because butter is superior, French people back me up.

What? We eat it all the time. I got several bottles of olive oil. Stupid José

I think with cheap stuff like this, I would still buy the better stuff even if it's much more expensive. It's a couple euros more for something that lasts for weeks probably

nah man if you can use it in a low temp recipe sure, but for most its only good to baste with because it burns so easily.

We do though

To be honest, i've tried several kinds of different oilstuff, and I feel like it really doesn't make any difference. I'd rather spend a few crowns on rapeseed oil, than spend half a leg on half the amount of olive oil when it all tastes the same in the end.
If i want to feel a difference, i use butter. There you can taste a legitimate difference

The same goes for olive oil though. I use coconut oil for searing steaks but that wasn't the comparison here

try almond oil for steaks if you can get it. grapeseed good too. then use the butter to baste.
t. fatass

also send me some ortsalt if you're from stockholm

Now this is something I can get behind. What about peanut oil? I hear you Americans use it for frying, is it any good?

the answer is clarified butter

Could you....... CLARIFY what you mean a bit? :)

It has a great taste. I'm not sure if you have 5 guys in sweden but that's what they use. popular in stir fry too. Unique flavor and you can sear on it at about a million degrees.
Personally I don't use it because its super high in polyunsaturated fats and is usually refined to where there isn't too many other nutrients. This is actually why I like avocado oil, it has a lot of the same properties (albeit less sweet) but is very good for you.
ghee is good, but goes bad super easily. plus its pretty expensive, at least here. though i guess you could make it yourself though i haven't tried

Are you actually retarded

Paranoid about getting some inferior olive ersatz olive oil if I tried getting that.

I use rapeseed oil to add oil to my cookings. Too lazy to cook stuff with a pan or to chop down butter so I just add it into macaronis or mashed potatoes (made from powder).

Also use it for jerking off. Maybe there's better stuff but this does fine for now.

Because olive oil is for faggots

Their fries are amazing so that's understandable, haven't seen avocado oil but I will try it out if I find it. Also, clarified butter is easy to make and it lasts forever. The taste is even better than regular butter.

I'll give it a go then ty friend

that's surprising to hear.

I thought the point of the EU single market was to make things more affordable within it.

>Stop being autistic user.
I can't, even if I wanted to.

The fuck is ghee?

you seem like you are from a upper middle class liberal family (kinda like pewdiepie)

It's not prohibitable expensive, but if you have to choose between bottle of olive oil and bottle of some other vegetable oil, when the olive oil costs 2-3 as much and can't be used in that many situations, which one you will buy? Normies who cook will probably get both and some hipster avocado oil as well.

For me, it has to be poultry fat
