No. I used Bertolli Classico. It's mild. I first stumbled upon using olive oil when I made a huge batch of olive oil pumpkin bread. I was so hesitant but I gotta tell you, it's no different. I'll prob never use another type of oil. I prob shouldn't have said
EVOO, there are different types. the extra light and extra virgin are waaaaaay too much. But of course you can always use vegetable oil.
