I listened to the author interview of Extra Virginity; this brand ranked well in the book and is readily available at Safeway, etc:

Here's more on the book:

First, don't call it EVOO. That's just pretentious as hell!
Second, World Market is where I bought mine.

Light degrades extra virgin olive oil (see how easy that is?), and a can protects it. We get a large container in either darkened glass or metal, then transfer it to a metal caddy for serving.

Anyway, if you live near Old Town, there's a store that specialized in high-quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar - I forget the name. It offers free tastings, and is a great place to try different varieties.

I like the Whole Foods brand italian evoo in the metal can. Honestly, whatever kind you get, you will find it tastes better longer if you get it in a can instead of in a glass bottle.

First, I recommend you stop writing like the incredibly annoying Rachel Ray speaks. It's exrta virgin olive oil - takes 3 seconds to spell out. You're not 14 (are you?).

Cook's Illustrated recommends Colavita brand, so I've been buying it for years. Really like it. I can't ever find it at my safeway but do find it at Harris Teeter.

The trader joes is awesome, and I'm very particular. It's in a tall slim green glass bottle. I forget the name. With any evoo, be sure to get first cold pressed.

I use Newman's Own because I like its policy of giving to charity.

The Trader Joes stuff ranked well in Consumer Reports.

Don't you have your own brand, Rachel?

Want to try a new brand (I get the costco brand).

thank you!
