My favourite margarine! Whenever Becel margarine goes on sale, I always grab the olive oil one. It spreads smooth, and has a very nice flavour. I only wish it came in a bigger container, it runs out very quickly in my house. It also is great in baking.
It tastes great and I feel better about buying this because it's made with olive oil. I haven't bought the regular Becel in years because this one is our fave.
We have used this for years and don't buy any other brand of margarine. I still buy butter for baking but for margarine we only buy becel olive oil, it is our favorite.
This is great tasting, the fact that it is made with olive oil assures me that I am making a healthy choice. It's great on toast and I actually used it when I was baking cookies when I ran out of butter and they turned out better than the butter cookies.
For the majority of my life, I've eaten the cheapest possible margarine, and sometimes the original Becel, and I haven't been the biggest fan. When I had the Olive Oil Becel Margarine on my breakfast toadt one morning, and actually enjoyed it, I was surprised! I never expected to like this, but now that I know I do, I will definitely buy it again! It has such an improved/better taste, and one of the only reasons I "like" margarine, is because of this! If you don't really like margarine, maybe you'll like this one!
I will tell you what kind of margarine user I am before I review. I do not buy or use it often and I usually buy the cheapest kind or whats on sale best bang for my buck kind of deal. First off I am a huge olive oil fan and dont get a huge olive oil kick from it if its authentic olive oil at all. Other than that if it was on sale and I needed margarine I would buy its no different then anything I have tried.
I have always been a Becel purchaser. Whether it be the Olive Oil one or not. I don't notice much change in flavor between the regular Becel and the Olive Oil one. But, Olive Oil is supposed to be better than a plain vegetable oil. I like using this for baking and all my cooking. I never worry about quality as I have always been satisfied. Also, if you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol or have had a heart attack you are to use Becel. That is what the Doctor told my Grandpa.
There is a high content of your daily Vitamin E as well which is good for your skin and hair. It is always a great price and hasn't gone up much in the many years I have used it..
It is way less fat than regular butter, but the flavor and uses are the same.
Why does margarine always taste better when made with olive oil? Because it definitely does. If I can't use butter, and as many of my friends are unable to eat it, I often can't, I turn to this. Definitely a great runner up, and probably a much healthier option too!
I love Becel Olive Oil. Tastes great and works well with everything I make. Also I have great coupons to get it for a very reasonable price. I love this product and buy it as often as I can.
I use Becel Original margarine regularly so I decided to try this one. I wasn't overly crazy for it I didn't really care for the olive oil taste. It has a good texture, spreads nicely even when it's cold. I did use it in some cooking and was able to mask the olive oil taste but I didn't like it plain on bread or toast. I do recommend it if you like olive oil and are looking for a healthier choice in margarine.
