    Olive. The Grapeseed seems to go bad faster, too.

    Don't use olive oil for cooking, though, it has a very low temperature smoke point. Use it for cold applications like salads or sandwiches.

    I use butter or coconut oil for sauteeing or cooking.

    Olive oil, the fatty acids are largely monounsaturated. Grapeseed is largely polyunsaturated omega-6 which has negative effects when we have an excess (most westerners do).
