I decided to start shopping for higher quality olive oil after reading Extra Virginity by Tom Mueller. He said the best olive oils have either a tart or peppery taste. I opened this right away and tasted. It comes across as peppery and will make an excellent cooking oil. Well packaged in a light-proof and air tight container. Good oil isn't cheap to produce, and this will cost you around 4 times a comparable amount at a store for an oil that may not even rate as food-quality. It's worth the investment. Buy an amount you'll use quickly.
A quality olive oil. Well presented . Suggest the actual production date be labeled not just an " expiration " date . My tin says best by June 2018. I take that to mean it was crushed into olive oil in June 2016?
Very Mello. Good on salad as well as cooking. No harsh peppery flavor.
Great oil, not the best of the best, but super good quality. Among the best I have had, not a 5 star but a very solid 4 star
Healthy for you olive oil - but a bit unusual tasting. Not for cooking as heat destroys the nutrients. Good on salads
