When it comes to oils, the culinary world is divided into camps. Some swear by olive oil's grassy, peppery flavor, while others champion corn oil's versatile vibe. So which one deserves a spot in your kitchen? Let's break it down, drizzle by drizzle. 

Origins: Fields vs Groves

Corn Oil: This oil hails from the golden fields of corn (obviously). It's extracted from the germ of the kernel, making it a product of agricultural alchemy. 

Olive Oil: Straight from the olive groves, olive oil is the liquid gold pressed from olives. Fun fact: Ancient Greeks used it as skincare. Imagine frying your eggs and moisturizing at the same time. 

Flavor: Subtle vs Bold

Corn Oil: The wallflower of cooking oils, corn oil has a very neutral flavor. It's great for high-heat frying or sautéing when you don't want to add any additional flavor to a dish. 

Olive Oil: Bold and robust, olive oil isn't afraid to make its presence known. A cooking olive oil like Sizzle will have mellower grassy notes that won't overpower a dish, but will complement the taste profile. Drizzle will have a stronger peppery taste that elevates any salad, pasta, or bread dipping moment! 

Health Benefits: Heart vs... Heart?

Corn Oil: Rich in polyunsaturated fats and plant sterols, corn oil can help lower bad cholesterol levels. However, its omega-6 fatty acids might stir the inflammation pot if overdone. 

Olive Oil: A darling of the health world, extra virgin olive oil is packed with monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. It's been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and inflammation. Think of it as the heart-healthy overachiever. 

Cooking Performance: High Heat vs Higher Heat

Corn Oil: Boasts a high smoke point around 450F, making it a go-to for deep-frying and high-heat sautéing. 

Olive Oil: EVOO has a smoke point of around 420F, better suited for light sautéing, drizzling, baking, roasting, etc. Perfect for everyday cooking! 

The Verdict: Which Should You Choose?

We may be a bit biased, but for us EVOO is the all-around oil we need. Its flavor, smoke point, and health benefits make it a culinary sidekick, worthy of a spot in every pantry. It’s elegant, versatile, and flavorful. While, corn oil has its place in the kitchen, EVOO brings just a little bit more to every dish it graces. Whether you’re drizzling it over roasted veggies or crafting the perfect vinaigrette, EVOO doesn’t just cook—it transforms. So, ditch the neutral and embrace the bold. Your heart, taste buds, and dinner guests will thank you. Long live EVOO, the true kitchen MVP!
