Phthalates in olive oil

Thanks for providing. It’s a long slog but I’ve skimmed most of it. RE the COR 100% California, note it was listed first in the specific results but was not the highest in phthalates.

For some reason, they went alphabetically by name instead of most-to-least or vice versa, which would have made more sense to me.

Anyway, COR was in the middle at 2600 ppb, Cobram’s had the highest at 6100 ppb, and Filippo Berio and Bragg at the bottom with about 560 and 660, resp. I recited both of the lower two because I don’t know how much different they really are, at that scale.

I don’t know Bragg’s, but I do use Berio for large-dose needs and when frying hot enough that the flavor of a more expensive oil would be mostly lost anyway. Then I use the COR 100% California for smaller dose and room temp stuff like dressings and dipping.

The results of my particular combination are surprising is because the Berio is sold in plastic bottles, vs. COR in glass.
