Your Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Is Fake

[Wildchild453]

Your olive oil should have a batch/date number on it from the date it was pressed. I don't buy my olive oil at the grocery store anymore.

Costco carries an authentic brand.

I found this apparently Costco Olive oil is top notch.

"Costco’s Kirkland Signature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil may be the best-kept secret in the store. At $9.99 for 1.5 liters, it is roughly half the cost of the well-known Bertolli brand, and yet, according to at least one independent study, it’s much better. In a recent comparison of 19 olive oils on the market, The Olive Center, a research group at the University of California-Davis, found that Kirkland Organic was one of only five in the study not mixed with cheaper refined olive oil that can spoil the taste. The other four at the top of the list were all high-end brands that cost as much as five times Costco’s. Make sure you buy the Costco version that’s labeled organic, though, as opposed to the one that’s simply called “extra virgin olive oil.” It’ll cost a little bit more, but it’s worth it."

I put my evoo in the fridge and it didn't freeze.

IT TOOK FOREVER FOR ME TO FIND THIS THREAD!!!! Jebus! Any whoo, I need to buy some evoo and I was at the store lost as a mug not being able to make a choice. I did remember the batch date thing (which by the way only 2 brands out of 12 listed a batch date) But I still didnt know and couldnt find this thread on my phone so I decided to wait lol.


I remember the batch date thing and that there was something about California evoo so thanks for the links guys. Not sure if the one I grabbed is on that list but tomorrow I shall see
