Re: Good vs. Bad Olive Oil

I don't know about those brands (I'm in the UK) but I have noticed that there is more variation in olive oils than almost any other food.

There is also concern about cheap vegetable oils being used to contaminate "olive oil". So don't always go for the cheapest - just because it says extra virgin OO (Olive-Oil) doesn't necessarily mean it is the real deal.

Trust your own taste.

Even within genuine OO (Olive-Oil) there will be variation in the olives / growing conditions / packaging & transport which will make some better than others.

Once you find one you like, stick to it.
