Borges Extra Virgin Cold-Pressed Olive Oil 1L

Extra virgin has a smoke point around 190 to 207 degrees, and Indian deep frying runs 180 to 190, which is uncomfortably close -- but the better argument against cooking with it is economic.

Twenty grams of sugar per hundred is the number the pack does not lead with, because the declared figure is per forty-gram serving, which makes it look a third the size.
Full details →Who the Borges Extra Virgin Cold-Pressed Olive Oil 1L is for
Buy it if: Anyone dressing, finishing or cooking at low to medium heat.
Avoid it if: Anyone deep frying -- use a refined high-smoke-point oil and keep this for finishing.
Who the Kellogg's Real Almond & Honey Muesli Cereal 1kg is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting convenience and fibre who reads the per-100 g figure knowingly.
Avoid it if: Anyone assuming muesli is low sugar -- plain oats are 1 g per 100 g against 20.

| Specification | Borges Extra Virgin Cold-Pressed Olive Oil 1L | Kellogg's Real Almond & Honey Muesli Cereal 1kg |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹1,290 | ₹660 |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Comparison | not published | Plain rolled oats are about 1 g sugar per 100 g |
| Fibre | not published | 7 g per 100 g, which is genuinely useful |
| FSSAI | not published | Licence number on pack |
| Grade | Extra virgin -- first cold pressing, under 0.8 percent free acidity | not published |
| Per 100 g | not published | Around 400 kcal, 20 g sugar, 8 g protein, 7 g fibre |
| Serving size | not published | The pack figure is per 40 g serving, which makes the sugar number look a third of what it is per 100 g |
| Shelf life | About 18 months unopened, and best within 3 months of opening | not published |
| Smoke point | About 190 to 207 degrees C. Indian deep frying typically runs 180 to 190, which is uncomfortably close | not published |
| Storage | Dark glass, away from heat. Light and heat degrade it, and a bottle by the hob is the worst place | not published |
| The health-halo issue | not published | Muesli reads as a health food and this one is roughly a fifth sugar by weight, largely from honey and dried fruit. That is less than a frosted cereal and far more than plain oats |
| What to use instead | For deep frying, a refined oil with a higher smoke point. Extra virgin is for dressing, finishing and low to medium heat | not published |
| Why not to waste it | Heating extra virgin oil destroys the polyphenols and aromatics that justify its price. Cooking with it is paying for something you then remove | not published |
