Olive Oil That Tastes Like Olive Oil

RE: Olive Oil That Tastes Like Olive Oil Post By (Guest Post) (08/20/2008) To Antonino: I wish you had posted earlier. After reading another poster's "somewhat" favorable assessment of the oil, I bought the same product July 10, and because it was on sale, I purchaed not 1, but 2 tins(greed). She(wife) will never let me live this down. Actually, I didn't think it tasted too bad, but after reading the verbage on the packaging, which neglects to say "100% olive oil", does make one wonder just what are the contents.

This "olive oil" tastes like motor oil and has a smell that is uncharacteristic of olive oil. I would really like to have the "olive oil" tested by a laboratory to determine the REAL contents... SO disappointing. The product is unusable. Editor's Note: Whenever you are unhappy with a product or you believe it is "bad", take it back where you purchased it and ask for a refund. I'm sure it cost a lot.

It's far better than any of the cheaper oils I've ever tried from a big grocery store, and it's pretty inexpensive. I've never looked for it outside of my town in Florida though.

Did you know that an export company will make 10 liters of 'Extra Virgin' from one liter of our Greek oil? What you need to do is get your oil straight from the source. http://www.oliveoilgoesglobal.com George Siganos Report Spam or Abuse RE: Olive Oil That Tastes Like Olive Oil Post by minymont (65) | (11/01/2006) Contact I bought some, "Botticelli" premium 100% extra virgin olive oil- first cold pressed italian olives. 17 fl oz for $6.97 and it is greenish, taste like olives, strong flavor, thought was not good as not had any with this taste before.Could not find expiration date or sell by--- it's kept in cool pantry.

Made here or from over sea's. Its a case of you get what you pay for. All I can say is use the cheaper brands for cooking. And find your self a good tasting oil for making dressing or to sprinkle over your food. There are many many good oils around. Its just a matter of finding one for your taste. I my self have found that Spanish olive oil is more to my taste. Just buy small bottles untill you find the one you like. But remember to store in a cool and dark place. Never in the fridge. Good luck and I wish you well Report Spam or Abuse RE: Olive Oil That Tastes Like Olive Oil Post by meoowmom (1275) | (02/14/2006) Profile | Contact Doggy, My mom used to use one that comes in a ridged bottle and it is called Pompi or something like that I used to love to get a taste of it. My mom would give us a spoonful with a squeeze of lemon and maybe a teeny dash of salt.

The darker the color, the more olive taste you will get. Go for the "cold pressed" as well. I suggest you purchase the less expensive for cooking, or in things where you are not depending on the flavor; then purchase a small bottle of the most expensive you can justify, for when the taste really needs to shine though!
