ZeytinOlive Oil Extra Virgin - GOLD MEDAL & Early Harvest - Fresh 2024 Harvest, Bottled in May 2024 - New Luxury Packaging - Vegan, Keto & Cold Pressed - Rich & Fruity (16.9fl oz - 1 Pack)

This is probably the most delicious olive oil I have ever tasted. I love to cook with olive oil but I've been searching for an olive oil to use just as a topping - meaning, to dip bread in, to dress a salad, etc. So I wanted a really delicious olive oil that I didn't mind spending a bit more money on. I researched forever and stumbled on this brand and flavor and WOW. What a stunner! It is the most decadent, rich, buttery, complex, fresh tasting OO I have ever had! It's amazing on salad, on bread, mixed with a bit of garlic or fresh chopped herbs, or drizzled over tomatoes for bruschetta or Caprese salad. Because it is so precious, I wouldn't waste it to cook. I'm saving this one just for eating straight up! I think for what I want to use it for, the value is very good. The packaging was gorgeous and I appreciated the personal touches from the owner - apparently this OO goes from them to us. It's authentic and you can really tell!Edit/update. This EVOO has continued to be my favorite pantry staple. It has a perfect pour for dressing salads and is almost literally a meal with bread and herbs. I love it on kale with walnuts and crushed black pepper. Despite what I thought originally, I have actually experimented with this EEVO for light sautéing/low heat frying on the stovetop and the results were pretty amazing. I made a shrimp lemon pasta with a healthy serving of this EVOO, crushed garlic, lemon, and anchovy and the results were a huge hit and bowls were wiped clean. I absolutely love it fresh tomato soup. I drizzle it over bagels. It's the only salad dressing I use now - this paired with balsamic or lemon juice, etc. I can't express how much this OO enriches dishes. While it's amazing it eat on its own, it also pairs so beautifully when cooking and dressing.

Great olive oil that has a superb flavor, very reasonable price

This is the best olive oil I’ve ever had. Great taste, ideal for dipping bread. It’s useful for a topper to any dish. Try it yourself you will be pleasantly pleased.

Nice Olive oil, Rich and Fruity. It has a good olive aroma and the taste is mild, but definitely of olives, and with a peppery finish. This is very high quality extra virgin olive oil. I purchased it with a recommendation from Yvonne Maffei, of My Halal Kitchen website. Her recommendations are always good.There is, unfortunately, a packaging issue. and I dinged them one star for this. The first package I received, I could not open the bottle. Their customer service read the review, got in touch with me, and sent me a replacement bottle. That's great. The second package came very well boxed, containing a glass bottle with a twist off cap. The opened bottle is furnished with no drip plastic spout. I am willing to give them another chance.

As someone with Mediterranean heritage, I know good olive oil. This stuff is excellent. High quality and has a really distinct taste. It certainly doesn’t taste like anything from your local supermarket. And while it is a little more on the pricey side, I promise you it’s worth it.

It is misrepresented that it is from fresh crop. Actually you can tell it is much more older than two years old of 2019 crop as on the bottle. This stuff is rancid, I would not call it olive oil. Obvious bad smell you can tell the difference of old old oil from like burnt used/car oil, Mobil-oil hence watery stuff. I strongly suspect it has Zero Polyphenols, whereas Amazon description in comparison section says it has 450mg/kg. It is biggest lie of the century. Moreover Amazon would not take it back. Total loss of money if it was not purchased as Prime business customer. So thankfully Amazon just told me that they have initiated $50 refund for two bottles, I purchased, and advised me to safely dispose it off. Amazon should not have allowed these guys to sell this bad stuff on the first place. Anyhow Thank you Amazon for giving me my money back. I am told it is non refundable item, but you get full refund if you call Amazon and request for it. This most important question is; On the description of product is say Early-Harvest I High Polyphenol of 350mg but in comparison “Polyphenol (Antioxidenats) < 450 mg/kg, why is This discrepancy? ................Updated on May 6, 2021. Thank you for replying to my question I will increase your stars from one to three in appreciation of your feed back. But my other queries remain unanswered. Q#1- Why I got two bottles produced in 2019 contrary to claim from early fresh crop? Early crop can not be three years old. As you stated EVOO loses Polyphenols quickly as it gets old, and as an agriculturalist I know that, if you provide harvest date and expiration date on the web listing it will get your customers more confidence on you, with concise information, it should be updated on Amazon as you know your stuff better. Q#2 Polyphenols minimum at 350mg/kg should be more bitter, whereas your EVOO is on sweeter side, both things can not go together high Polyphenols and sweet, for people buying it, for health benefit reasons . Q#3 Why there is a weird smell in your EVOO? I believe it has become rancid on your shelves before reaching us through Amazon. I would greatly appreciate your honest answers. Thank you for your earlier answers. Stay blessed. Updated May 18, 2021. Despite all being said in my previous post, I ordered another bottle of this (EVOO supposedly) the seller responded to my earlier question about its freshness that, this particular batch was harvested in September 2019 but it was packaged / bottled in October 2020, (after 13 months) And we are almost in middle of 2021, the rancid smell is obviously from sitting on the shelves. Secondly I noticed; although the packing was beautiful, bottle is very nice, there was good amount of dust on the bottle shoulder neck. This tells me the environment of this particular brand in which it is being packed is not healthy nor hygiene it kept in mind. Like last two bottles this bottle is good looking, but the caps kept rotating and slipping when I tried to tighten them to make it airtight. The seller said, replying to my earlier question that they are willing to send me a replacement, I accepted this offer, but so far no show. only to see if batch I am getting supplies is from old batch, I might change my perspective on it. So for I an going back to ONE star rating as my second purchase has the same old complaints, as batch number is same. I am not buying this product for now,
