cloudy olive oil

[seaturtle]

I buy my olive oil ("pure olive oil") at Costco and it is usually clear. When I brought a bottle home the other day, however, I noticed that it was somewhat cloudy. It is still cloudy now even though I do not keep it in a cold place. When I researched this, I found that it olive oil is cloudy when unfiltered and it is perfectly fine to use (in the kitchen).

I am wondering if cloudy olive oil would affect soap making. I use over 40% oo in my recipe.

I had the same thing happen with a batch from WalMart. It looks disgusting, but I don't think it made a bit of difference to my batches. I used it all. It is just ugly.

jarvan, did the oil just look ugly in the bottle or did it affect the appearance of your soap?

It didn't affect the quality of the soap, just looked hideous.
