Customer Reviews

Fruity, smooth, rich
The best EVOO under $40. We live in the Bay Area where there are tons of artisan producers of EVOO and this stuff is by far the best in its price range. There are better ones for 50+ for this size but this oil has a smooth taste, silky in texture and a wonderfully fruity and fresh bouquet and taste. Your mouth will definitely love this! Also rated #1 by America's Test Kitchen and Consumer Reports.

A delight to cook with and a delight to taste.
I have been extremely happy with this Columela oil! I use a tremendous amount of olive oil in my cooking and I do cook a lot for a lot of people. For the price, you simply cannot beat this product. Now I will be the first to admit that you can spend quite a lot of money and buy oil that is far superior to this particular product, but let's face it, in these days and times, cost is a factor!

I would strongly suggest that you purchase a couple bottles of this oil and then a few various brands at your local supermarket and make a taste test. You will be absolutely shocked at the difference. There simply is no comparison. This oil has a full taste and the fragrance is wonderful. Unlike many of the supermarket varieties, you will find this Columela does not leave that particular yucky after taste you so often get.
I have shopped and shopped and have been unable to find this product in any store in our area (gulf coast) and have also checked several story in a few larger cities on the west coast...no luck! Amazon is indeed doing us a big favor in offering this brand.

Very tasty olive oil
I wanted to try this after I saw it won an America's Test Kitchen taste test, then I had a blind taste test for my boyfriend with some plain bread. He noticed a huge difference in taste and fragrance - this one compared to a supermarket brand I usually use, Bertolli, was much fruitier and actually tasted great, and the Bertolli has a slight but unpleasant aftertaste, and not much olive flavor. I was surprised how much we noticed the differences in flavor, this Columela was easily so much better.

It was impossible to find in any store, so I'm very happy that Amazon has it, and it arrived quickly and very well-packaged.
