California Olive Ranch, Global Blend Medium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 500 mL

Awesome. Taste organic

If there's one thing my husband's Italian family knows, it's olive oil. They were skeptical when I first gifted them with CA olive oil - but now, my mother-in-law looks forward to my shipments! This is a nice olive oil that's mild to those of us who love to drink the peppery stuff, but it's a solid all-purpose one that's good enough to use on salads or dip bread in, with a slightly grassy profile. I love that it's so affordable compared to well-known brands and I don't have to worry about the oil being rancid when I first open a bottle. Those well-known imports are inferior compared to this - and I'd stand by that statement wholeheartedly. The only thing about this purchase that caught me off guard was that the bottle is made of plastic. That's not really an issue since we run through oil so quickly, but it's definitely not the glass packaging that we're used to getting from this brand in their smaller sizes.

I just plain like California Olive Ranch olive oil. I use it primarily for salads--fond of marinated kale. I love the flavor. But when I tried other brands, I discovered more reasons to appreciate this brand. The bottle is designed to be easy to handle with indents on two sides for an easy grip. The pour top is drip-proof (and I have encountered some messy drips with other brands). And, you know, it's a good-looking bottle.

Watched on tube about olive oil this brand came up with certifications on the lable which is needed to know that I'm getting what I have paid for.NO MIXTURES OF OTHER OILS .A GAME CHANGER FOR ME.

I bought this 16.9 oz bottle due to it being America's Test Kitchen winner of the 'Best Store-variety Olive Oil'. Thought I'd give it a try, especially because I was interested in how a California olive oil would taste. Let me say upfront that I'm not in any way an olive oil conesseur, I cook with it primarily for it's health benefits, use a little on salads, and that's about it. I probably wouldn't even use olive oil at all were it not for health benefits -- I think olive oil in general imparts a 'different' (some say 'funny') flavor compared to other cooking oils. But that said, I've bought a lot of different olive oils made by different companies over the years. Overall, to me they taste about the same ...ok, sorry if I just made a bunch of people gasp. The good news is, the flavor is smooth, not funky, strong, pugnant or off-putting in any way. That's probably the most important thing. I lined up 4 bowls and put a dab into each bowl of 4 different of olive oils we had under our cabinet including this one. One was the remaining bottle of Bertolli, another was Partanna, a much more expensive supposed high-end awared winning Sicillian-produced bottle I bought after the holidays at 1/2 price, a bottle of Greek-made Olive oil I bought at Aldi's that was about 3 years old ......and this California olive oil. My daughter and I tested each and to us they had a slightly different flavor, but not tremendously so, and were all acceptable. I thought the Greek olive oil would be skunky due to it's age, but it didn't seem to be, however it had a little different flavor. A lot of companies apparently buy olives on the open market so just because it's Italian, Spanish or Greek made, it doesn't mean there aren't olives from other places. But many companies claim to use only home-grown olives, and those are the types I prefer to try. As far as award winning olive oils go, I went online and researched the awards and discovered there are literally hundreds of awards given out to olive oils which surprised me. Overall, I liked that the California Olive Oil bottle is glass, to me buying olive oil in a plastic bottle just seems unnatural and I avoid those. I don't care for the dark green color though. I prefer the clear bottles so I can see the color of the oil but my guess is it is to extend the product life. All in all the flavor was good and we used the whole bottle and enjoyed it.

Great

Use it daily for a variety of cooking. Put it into a spray bottle for use in the air fryer. Nice taste.

Best olive oil I have ever used, it's certified so you know it's actually the real deal. It is a green color and tastes amazing! The only issue I have with it is it's in plastic, I would prefer glass because I think all the plastic we use is contributing to cancer. I get this because it's expensive oil and this is a nice large size at a reasonable price so I deal with the plastic and I understand they are trying to make the bottle lighter but I really wish they would use glass instead.
