Do you have anything specifically against Canola? I seem to recall reading that some people have some health concerns about it, but I don't remember specifics- someone or another seems to have health concerns about practically everything.
Thank you for your time to reply to my query on oil. I appreciate your thoughts. I agree, more and more people are discovering the responses that their bodies have to various foods. Fortunately there are more and more options available to us than ever before and more and more reliable resources. 🌞
I'm with Emma on this. EVOO would overpower the peaches, and bring a light olive taste to the party. What you want is a neutral tasting oil. I can't recommend the "light" olive oils as a substitute, because those are all processed and filtered from the second pressing after your EVOO is removed. Canola oil would be the best choice, really. That's what I use for general cooking purposes and in dressings where I don't want an olive flavor. I keep the good EVOO for other things which don't involve heat.
Hi Lori, You are right. I did a test run with the olive oil since it was all I had on hand. Not a good choice. Too heavy and too pungent for a peach. I found some walnut oil and it works very well! Thank you for your time and thoughts. 🌞
You could, but the flavor would be a lot more noticeable—and it might distract from the peaches. I'd recommend doing a blend of half olive oil, half neutral-flavored oil.
Hi Emma, you were right on about the flavor overpowering my peaches. I left out the oo and decided to use a walnut oil. Came out well. Thank you so much! 🌞
