• "This EVOO has a strong throaty bite and great flavor, especially for the price point."
• "The oil is EXCELLENT!! Robust with a vibrant green, earthy taste without overpowering."

• "I love this olive oil. It has a smooth, though robust, flavor."
• "Love the bold fruity aroma and deep dark green fresh color, the taste is like eating fresh olives from the tree."

Cons:

• "This oil is terrible. It tasted disgusting and is definitely not anywhere near pure extra virgin olive oil."
• "flavor seems rather poor to even rancid."
• "The oil is very bitter. When used for frying, the oil spatters all over as if there is water in it."
• "Aftertaste like battery acid. Just absolutely disgusting."
• "It has a horrible bitter flavor. Tried once with fresh garlic for bread and couldn’t even eat it!!"
• "This oil tastes bitter to me."
• "But this bottle from Amazon tastes completely different - it's bitter and nasty, and actually burns my mouth a little."

Packaging and Delivery

Pros:

• "Great product, came on time with no damages."
• "Got a 16oz hard plastic bottle that was dark green to keep UV light off of it, has a super easy top and pouring spout that makes pouring a breeze."
• "Product arrived quickly. I saw the same bottle in the grocery store for $5 more so I felt that I got a good deal."
• "Arrived intact without any spillage. Great tasting EVO. Wonderful Flavor."
• "This was purchased for Cold Process soap making. It arrived well packaged no leaking."
• "This oil arrived well within the time and packaging was secure and drip free!"
• "The item itself is excellent, however the packaging was insufficient and the bottle was squashed and some oil was leaking."

Cons:

• "Good Product but bad bottle The cap was broken when I received it and couldn't open it."
• "The actual olive oil was fine but it arrived without a cap (it just had the security seal part). Janky and inconvenient."
• "This olive oil leaked all through my package that included other items."
• "This 3L/5lb bottle arrived in a box without appropriate packing with other products, and it did not have its resealable screw in cap."
• "How can you sell this item with just an inner seal and no lid? How do I preserve or store it after breaking the seal? I am disappointed!"
• "The latest bottle had a faulty cap. The bottle fell down and spilled into my carpet."
• "The olive oil was rancid when I received it and since I'm not leaving the house I can't return it."

Value and Price

Pros:

• "Goodjob, they changed the default size from 64 to 48 Fl and have both for the same price. Nice steal I deserve it for trusting Amazon's quick 'Buy Now'."
• "I try to cook with olive oil often, so this bulk bottle is fantastic. The price is among the least expensive anywhere."
• "This is some really nice oil. And Amazon is selling it for about half the price my local grocer charges."
• "This same exact item is 25% more on eBay. This Amazon purchase is the best flavor best deal for cold pressed olive oil out there on the market right now."
• "Much better price than purchasing locally."
• "Great price for a pantry staple. I find that in stores the price is nearly double."
• "This is a great price for this quantity."

Cons:

• "I thought I was getting organic; this is not organic!!!"
• "The oil is EXCELLENT!! Robust with a vibrant green, earthy taste without overpowering. Great for using in recipes, savory or sweet, and for dipping bread. Amazon pricing not so good."
• "I just about fell over when I went to buy again and it was $25.99! Come on, inflation can’t account for a more than doubling of price!"
• "I love this olive oil but it was $9.98 when I first bought it in 2022, and the price kept creeping up with each purchase."
• "I have been using this olive oil for the past 20 years and never payed that price. Unfortunately, I will have to return it because I thought I was getting 2 bottles for this price."
• "Good budget olive oil, but if Amazon can't figure out how to ship it without breaking the bottles then it's not worth it. The box was left at the doorstep soaked in olive oil and the bottles were leaking profusely around the caps."
• "The olive oil was rancid when I received it and since I'm not leaving the house I can't return it."
