This is one of the reasons I missed seeing you post here. I always learn stuff.How much you wanna spend? If you're on the hydroxytyrosol polyphenol kick and on a budget... I recommend Partanna red or yellow label, Sicily. They have it at Walmart in a can or bottle. I use it in my ginger and turmeric tea and a spoon ful in the am and pm. It's Sicilian. $10 a bottle $17 tin can.
Olive Ranch, California. Walmart and Publix. It's a good all around oil. They have Original, Mild and Bold or Robust one of the two. $6. I use this on my avocado boats in the air fryer. It's really good.
Terra Creta. Greek. This is my favorite Higher low end. I get it from Amazon in a bottle $25.
On the lower high end, Olio Verde, Sicily. It's an affordable higher end.
The harvest date is really important. If it only has a "Best By" date they..."experts" say it can't be trusted. You want a harvest date as close to present year as possible.
Unlike wine, it doesn't get better with time. Like wine, there are a gazillion things to consider. Mikey likes a blend. I don't.
Sorry if it's TL;DR.
Dang JP, I hate I missed you and @chargervol in the zone at the same time. Finally some intelligence up in here (that doesn’t apply to the females in here of course, it’s a given).Charger! You live!
Man, it's certainly nice to hear from both of you. And in the same day, too! It's almost like there's something going on.![]()
Haha if only we could be so smart.Dang JP, I hate I missed you and @chargervol in the zone at the same time. Finally some intelligence up in here (that doesn’t apply to the females in here of course, it’s a given).
Was a kwinky dink that 114 was asking about it right after I'd done some digging for myself. It's all fresh in my mind right now.This is one of the reasons I missed seeing you post here. I always learn stuff.

Several weeks ago I read an article in a magazine about the fake olive oil scams. I studied olive oil in a class years ago for about a week and learned alot, but I forgot alot and a little has changed.
Anyway, I dug a bunch of my info out and compared some of it with new info and I feel like I've got a good handle on it again. No expert, far from it, but I'm comfortable with what I know now and glad I went through it.
