Lucini, Extra Virgin Olive Oil Collection (Everyday, 500 mL (Pack of 1))

Best fresh olive taste! We only use it on salads and add it to entrees before serving. Over heating lessen the flavor.

I have been reading about the so-called olive oil scandal, that so many Italian olive oil exporters are bottling up stuff labeled as extra virgin that isn't, that many are not even completely olive oil at all. One study was done by an American group, and it was funded by the growers in California, and - can you believe it???? - that study found that only California-grown olive oil seems to be pure and labeled correctly as to quality level. Surprise, surprise! However, this study did grudgingly list *some* Italian exporters as being on the up-and-up and that their quality was generally very good to excellent. Lucini is one of those brands that was listed as selling the real stuff with no adulterants and at the listed quality level. Since a couple of studies done in Europe also listed this brand as being excellent I decided to stop messing around with others and start getting this brand only. We like it a lot, and now that we no longer fully trust olive growers to bottle pure olive oil or to produce truly unbiased studies about their competitors, we have settled on this brand. It is in a glass bottle, and it was simply wrapped in bubble wrap and dumped into a larger box with some air pillows. But it was not suspended in the package, the bottle resting solidly on the cardboard bottom of the box. Had this box sustained a solid whack the UPS truck would have reeked of something akin to a Greek salad and we would have received an oily box of glass. Thankfully this did not happen. I intend to complain via the packaging feedback system. We will buy this excellent olive oil through Amazon again, but we will not if the second one arrives packed in like manner. Great product, probably actual olive oil (unlike some others from Italy right now, apparently) with a clean taste at a good price. Highly recommended if you like olive oil. Good for cooking or as the base for seasoned dipping oil. Survives well in an enclosed cabinet when tightly sealed. (Some seem to "rot" but this one lasts a decent amount of time after opening.) Try some!

YUMM-O!! Affordable, consistently high quality. Olive oil merchants have access to great stuff

Very decent olive oil. To be honest not exactly what I expected. From all the reviews here and other sources I was expecting a good strong flavor, however this just tasted very mild to me. Nothing bad, and you can definitely tell by just smell that it’s olive oil, but I prefer more aggressive ones. Then again, it does say “everyday” on it, maybe the italian one is more flavorful. Overall seems to be a good quality oil, I just don’t get the hype. I always buy random olive oils from grocery stores and it tastes like half of them. I was worried about the freshness since they send it to you here, depriving you of the ability to pick a fresher date but it was relatively fresh I’d say. I ordered it in May 2025 and the harvest date says 2024 with no indication of the month. It was bubble wrapped and came in a soft envelope, I’d think a box would be a little more secure. Made it ok, though the cap was a little dinged. Overall, it’s a good quality versatile olive oil, but I wouldn’t pay a top dollar for this, there is nothing special in my opinion. I got it on sale so it works out but wouldn’t buy it again for the full price to be completely honest.

Really good olive oil. Great taste.

It's very flavorful

It is one of the best olive oil I have had in a while. Sharp taste and it stings in your throat. It is definitely fresh. You won’t be disappointed.

for someone that wants a medium weigh extra virgin olive oil...
