Simply Light Taste Olive Oil — One Ingredient, Endless Versatility

Pompeian Simply Light Taste Olive Oil is made from 100% olive oil — nothing else. The light taste profile is achieved through careful refining that removes the strong flavor compounds of extra virgin while retaining the natural benefits of the olive. The result is a mild, clean oil with a high smoke point that performs beautifully across every cooking method.

Use it for frying, sautéing, roasting, baking, and grilling. Its neutral flavor makes it an ideal base for mayonnaise, vinaigrettes, marinades, and sauces where you want full control over the flavor profile. It will not overpower delicate herbs, spices, or proteins. It simply performs — every time.

Each 1 tablespoon (15ml) serving delivers 120 calories, 14g total fat (10g monounsaturated, 1.5g polyunsaturated, 2g saturated), 0mg sodium, 0g carbohydrates, and 0g protein. Monounsaturated fats are the heart-healthy fats found naturally in olive oil — and this bottle delivers 10g per serving.

The 68 fl oz (2L) BPA-free plastic bottle is designed for frequent home cooks and large households. The wide-grip handle and controlled pour spout make it easy to use even when full. At this size, you get outstanding cost-per-ounce value without sacrificing quality or freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Pompeian Simply Light Taste Olive Oil suitable for high-heat cooking and frying?
Yes. Pompeian Simply Light Taste Olive Oil has a high smoke point suitable for pan frying, sautéing, roasting, and oven baking at standard cooking temperatures. Its light refining process makes it more heat-stable than extra virgin olive oil. For deep frying at very high temperatures, monitor heat carefully and avoid exceeding the oil’s smoke point for best results and food safety.

What certifications does Pompeian Simply Light Taste Olive Oil carry?
Pompeian Simply Light Taste Olive Oil is Non-GMO Project Verified, NAOOA Certified Quality (North American Olive Oil Association), BPA Free, and Sustainably Grown Certified by SCS Global Services. It is also produced by a 100% Farmer Owned cooperative. These certifications confirm purity, quality, ethical sourcing, and environmental responsibility across the entire supply chain.

How does light taste olive oil differ from extra virgin olive oil in cooking?
Pompeian Simply Light Taste Olive Oil is lightly refined to remove the strong, peppery flavor of extra virgin olive oil, resulting in a neutral, mild taste ideal for high-heat cooking, baking, and recipes where you want the other ingredients to shine. Extra virgin olive oil is unrefined with a bold olive flavor best suited for finishing dishes, dressings, and dipping. Light taste olive oil also has a higher smoke point, making it more versatile for everyday cooking.
