If we don't have a thread about EVOO, it's time to get one going
Sadly, I've discovered that too much of the olive oil in the US market is a very poor product. Probably true of olive oil imported to most countries outside of the Mediterranean.
In recent searches for a better quality EVOO, finding REAL 100% EVOO is disturbing. Because either it's adulterated with the seed oils I'm trying to avoid, or it's sooooo old it's lost much of it's benefits.
When accessing what is available locally, there is only one brand that is acceptable. California Olive Hill.
Have you looked into brands or do you just pick the cheapest, like I used to?
Here is a YouTuber with suggestions. Though others say EVOO over a year is not the best.

As Jean points out, adulterated olive oil, unfortunately, has been the norm for many years. Buyer beware. I use Kirkland Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Costco, as it has been positively tested and reviewed as the real deal for many years. It tastes great.
I was left wondering about the options within one label. What was listed as a good one from California Olive Hill , a first pressed variety, is not the bottle I tasted.
I do have their blend of four sources, which goes to the dog.lol
This particular company apparently has several different qualities they offer.
