    I was also looking at the vegan butter and saturated fats and felt like I could stick with olive oil.

      Olive oil can give a little bit of a bitter taste. However, if you don’t use a lot of it, it shouldn’t be a problem and would generally be the better choice over the butter.

        If you’re trying to minimize that taste go with “mild” olive oil over “extra virgin”. EV is made from the first cold press of the olives, and has the most olive flavor. Mild is made from olives that have already been pressed once and have been heated to extract more oil. It’s just this side of completely neutral. I can feel the spirit of my nonna in the room right now doing the finger thing 🤌🤌 but even she had one or two recipes where she used the mild olive oil to save money when you cant really taste it anyway or in desserts where you dont want to taste it.
