Locally you can taste a great range of Italian extra virgin olive oils at olio2go.com.
They have a retail store near Mosaic District, on Hilltop Road. |
Bertolli, because that's what Sam's Club sells in the size that I get (I get a 2 liter bottle and refill a regular supermarket sized bottle as needed). |
The Sultan. It is from Lebanon and comes in glass gallons. It is the best and reasonably priced; sold at ethnic/middle Easten grocery stores. |

For cooking the cheapest I can find. For salads etc whatever says single source on it. |
Bertolli because I am a ATK sheep. |
Costco refines olive oil for cooking. Costco virgin olive oil for salads. And when I travel to olive oil producer countries I bring good quality also for salads etc… |
Costco’s store brand olive oils are very good and very reasonably priced. They’ve been recommended by many well known chefs such as Samin Nosrat. |

Trader joes non extra virgin for all the sauteing etc. extra virgin only for dressings and finishing |
Costco's Extra Virgin Organic. |
This - whatever’s on sale at Costco unless it’s for a very specific recipe and then I have a few flavoured ones. My favourite of those is a smoked garlic evoo. |
For bread dipping, the special Sicilian oil at Trader Joe’s. Very light and grassy and stands out by itself on bread or as a light salad topper
For cooking- Terra Delyssa or Wegmans Spanish Extra Virgin Olive oil or, sometimes, the lemon and herb olive oil from Whole Foods, or Garcia de la Cruz Spanish olive oil I LOVE olive oil, I always have 4-5 bottles |
If you don’t have freshly-pressed, organic olive oil, hand harvested from a generations-old olive grove outside your veranda, store-bought will do just fine! |
Costco's Kirkland Organic. It's highly rated and used by many chefs
