California Olive Ranch, Global Blend Medium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 750mL

I love olive oil and use it for tons of things, but lately, I’ve become really aware of any bitter notes. I’m not sure if my taste buds changed or what the hell happened, but suddenly I stopped using olive oil because every brand I tried was so bitter that it ruined my meal. I tried the light kind, and while it wasn’t bitter, it had no olive oil flavor that I love. I went on the hunt for a new olive oil to try, and reviews on this one said it’s flavorful and not bitter, so I gave it a try. My new fave! It’s exactly that! It tastes like smooth, delicious olive oil with no bitterness to pucker my face. I just had a caprese sandwich with it and the flavor profile was perfect. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something not overpowering but still has some flavor to it.

Premium product ! I love the taste of this olive oil. I can almost take a spoonful by itself it's that good. I think I'm addicted to it as I pour it over my pasta and it's so delicious and sweet, I pour more on. It arrived in perfect condition and has the dark bottle. I accidently knocked it onto the floor which is tile, and it did not break ! First time for that to happen....nice, thick glass. Well made bottle and product. I will purchase again and keep on hand 24/7. It's the cream of the crop. I read a lot of reviews before trying it and I'm glad I listened to the others on here. Keep it coming Amazon!**A delicious easy meal is ::: I cook fettuccine along with fresh broccoli, drain, add this brand xtra virgin olive oil about 3+ tablespoons, grate fresh parmesan and romano cheese, add crisp fried bacon (I fry 5-6 slices then crumble) and yum ! I also will add a drained can of minced clams or fresh shrimp when I have them on hand.

Good olive oil. Expensive but we buy only this brand

I've read that this is a high quality brand and it seems to be. The flavor was good and the price was reasonable

Great olive oil, not a blend. Pure & good.

Best domestic olive oil on the market. You can cook with it or use it on salads. Love the stuff.

I don't understand the rave reviews. This stuff was NASTY. It didn't even taste as good as the $7 bottle of olive oil you can buy at Trader Joe's. It didn't taste like olive oil at all. It tasted like canola oil, only bitter. And the price is RIDICULOUS. Right after I bought this, I saw it on clearance at my local grocery store for $5 (probably because they were trying to get rid of it because it tasted so nasty; I checked the date the bottles on clearance weren't even close to their expiration date). Since there was no way I was ruining a salad with this stuff, I asked for a refund. Seriously, save your money.

"If you picked up the New York Times yesterday, you may have learned an alarming fact from an entertaining graphic in the Sunday Review section. “Extra Virgin Suicide” by Nicholas Blechman—which has been deftly GIF-ified on the Times website—explains the problem with extra-virgin olive oil made in Italy: Most of it is neither extra-virgin nor made in Italy. Instead, Spanish and North African olive oil is shipped to Italy, cut with soybean oil and beta carotene, and nefariously mislabeled. “The ‘olive oil’ is shipped around the world, to countries like the U.S., where approximately 69 percent of the olive oil for sale is doctored,” writes Blechman." SlateOne of the few olive oils recommended by Tom Mueller, who wrote the definitive article on olive oil is 'California Extra Virgin Olive Oil'. Most of the other olive oils out there come from other countries, are sent to Italy where they are fortified with soybean oil and beta carotene. No wonder the taste is rarefied. Count your lucky stars you can find this wonderful olive oil on Amazon. The rest of the olive oils on the list I did not recognize, so I assume my local grocery stores and food COOP's do not carry them.This olive oil is light, and tastes like olives. Check the label to make sure you have the right stuff.Highly Recommended. prisrob 01-27-14
