> rancid olive oil is less bitter than the good stuff
I remember tasting the olive oil in my cupboard a few weeks ago and being slightly worried that it tasted pretty bitter. Sounds like it actually has to taste bitter - somehow I expected rancid oil to be more bitter than good oil, not less...
- Maken 3y agoIf the oil was supposed to be bitter and it no longer is, that means all the organic compounds (including the aromas) have degenerated and the oil is essentially just the "oil" part. Past expiration date should smell and taste a bit foul but not bitter.
