I've heated this oil twice before and both times decided to dump it because of the ass aroma that spread through the house. I've used every other evoo brand and only ran into this problem with this brand. It is far from the expiration. What am I missing? Do I just have a weird bottle? A weird nose? Or do others smell what I smell? This bottle is practically full and I hate wasting so I'm saving it for in case I run out of my usual oils.

It’s probably not the oil it’s probably that nasty thumbnail
They meant “Tucchusy”
Hard to tell without you being more descriptive about the taste than butt.
Good olive oil can taste peppery and grassy whereas cheap olive oil that is stale can taste smoother and milder in flavor.
You might just not like the smell? It could be the cookware? Another smell it’s combining with in the home?
Where did you buy this?
If you are in america it is almost certainly not really what it says on the label
How do you know what butt taste like? 🤔
If it is expired (or even sometimes if it’s not), it can turn rancid which makes it smell funky. It’s also possible you’ve only had very mild olive oils which don’t have much of a smell.
There was a recent expose on olive oil coming from Italy… unfortunately due to mafia influence / control, a lot of products are tainted with canola oil + an additive that smells like olive oil… even organic
The solution might be to try Greek olive oil from your local deli, or a domestic farmer with whom you can form a relationship of trust
I’m guessing it’s rancid? Is it like crayon-cardboard-poop or dirty-socks-poop?
Unpopular opinion: I just spent 3 weeks in Tuscany and was unimpressed with the store bought olive oil.
We had been buying $3 bottles in Portugal for years and it’s always the best olive oil you have ever tasted. I think the Italian oil might have been ruined by global demand.
Extra virgin olive oil should be eaten raw like in salads, toasts or a splash after the meat or fish is cooked because it’s strong and heat can make it tastes stronger
what kinda butt? like “rim job in the dark” butt? or like “taco bell turned roast beef” butt?
