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
|
Bonelli. It can sometimes be found at TJ Maxx. |
Costco organic or Goya |
Trader Joes |

So do you think newer is always better or are you looking for particular timing? |
Dp. Not just newer, but the latest harvest. Now the latest harvest is from 2022. Starting from November / December / January the oil harvested in 2023 should start being sold. |
