Best Answer

It depends on what type of muffins you're baking. Extra virgin olive oil is the most flavorful of olive oils, being the product of the first pressing of the olives; therefore, it has a very distinct, olive-like flavor. So, if you're making sweet muffins, it would be better to use canola or vegetable oil. Those oils don't really have much flavor, and won't affect the taste. But, if you're making muffins that are heartier (using bran or granola or nuts, and very little, if any, sugar/fruit), then olive oil may be an interesting flavor to add.

Is extra virgin olive oil is the best oil?

Extra virgin olive oil is the first oil pressed from the olive. So for that type of olive, it may be called the best. I'm sure you could find some type of olive you don't like, in which case its extra virgin won't be as good to you as regular of some other type.


Which olive oil is for cooking and which is for salad?

What is difference between extra virgin olive oil and olive oil?

Regular olive oil isn't as purified or as good as extra virgin. Extra virgin is sweeter, and does better in recipes than regular olive oil. Extra virgin is from the first pressing of the olives. Regular comes later after the olives are pressed again and a lot of the olive taste is no longer in the oil. Extra virgin oil is a bit stronger, say if you were making thick cookies, it would be a lot better because if you use regular olive oil the cookies would most likely stick to the pan. Answer 2: Olive oil is the Mediterranean's liquid gold and since oil flows from the olives without need of additives or any chemical process, all of the oil's natural qualities, flavor and aroma are preserved. Only extra virgin olive oil and virgin olive oil are direct extractions from the fruit. Refined, or common olive oil and olive pomace oil are chemically treated to neutralize strong flavors.
