The Spanish gastronomy wouldn’t be the same without extra virgin olive oil. Its flavor adds its own personality to all our dishes. What would a salad be without oil? Or fish without that drizzle of oil? Undoubtedly, it is a must-have in the Spanish recipe book. As true Mediterraneans and lovers of that unmistakable flavor, buying 5 liters of extra virgin olive oil is the best option to ensure our favorite ingredient is never missing at home.
Buying 5 liters of extra virgin olive oil has many advantages:
- Ensures a good supply of quality oil for a long time: The average consumption of extra virgin olive oil in a family of 3 members is 5 liters in 5 months. Therefore, you can forget about buying for quite some time.
- Ideal for families: In a family, oil consumption is higher, and you need to ensure they use high-quality ingredients. Stews, frying, and morning breakfasts increase consumption. Having extra virgin olive oil means you are giving your family the best oil containing all its trace elements.
- Properly stored, extra virgin olive oil lasts up to 18 months: One of the greatest qualities of extra virgin olive oil is that, being a completely natural olive juice without preservatives, it maintains its properties for up to 18 months, making it one of the few products on the market with these qualities.
- Cost-effective when buying in quantity: Having a top-quality product at a very reasonable price is possible when buying 5 liters of extra virgin olive oil. Its quality, flavor, and price make it a very interesting combination to always have at home. It’s undoubtedly a great option as you get a premium product at a lower cost by reducing packaging expenses.
- Versatility: Coming in a large format allows you to use it in various ways in your kitchen. You can pour it into a smaller glass or aluminum oil dispenser for salads, toast, or to dress any dish or appetizers.
- It’s the ingredient with the most possibilities we know. It’s useful for marinating, seasoning, preserving meats, fish, and sausages, for frying, and it’s also a great cosmetic to care for the skin due to its antiseptic properties and deep hydration.

Why do we recommend buying 5 liters of extra virgin olive oil?
There are many reasons that lead us to recommend buying extra virgin olive oil, as we have explained before, but the most important, undoubtedly, is its quality. A proper diet is fundamental, and having good oil is an investment in your daily care.
If we have to focus on the most contentious aspect, it is the different qualities available in the market. We can find olive pomace oil, olive oil, and extra virgin olive oil. Many people tend to buy other types of oil, thinking they are saving money, but this is not the case.
One of the questions we’ve been getting lately is, “Is there a cost saving in buying pomace oil?” This question arises due to the widespread misinformation about olive oil, and that’s why we want to elaborate on the differences between the two and why it’s not a good idea to substitute extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) with pomace oil.
When we talk about pomace oil, it is made from the residues of the olive and its production often involves the use of chemicals, such as hexane, to dissolve the oil in the remains of the olive pulp. Pomace oil is a byproduct, and by choosing it, you will be losing all the organoleptic qualities and nutritional properties that extra virgin olive oil possesses. Therefore, we advise against purchasing it, as there are better options for a healthier diet.
As experts in olive oil, we recommend that if you are looking to save on your daily olive oil consumption, always choose our brand’s 5 liters of extra virgin olive oil. You will be getting a high-quality product at a very reasonable price.
