Colavita Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500 ml) | Imported from Italy | Ideal for Cooking, Dips, and Marinades | Cold Pressed Oil from Italian-grown Olives | Timeless Bottle Pack

best in taste, smell and quality. perfect for seasoning. ordered it multiple times.

This Olive oil is an original and unadulterated one made from fresh olives, authenticity and quality of an olive oil as defined by standard research institutes is felt by few things 1) the bitterness when we take it in the mouth and 2) when it goes down our throat we feel a kind of irritation in the throat. The bitterness will be there only if the Olive oil has been extracted using fresh olives, if the olives were old or of sub standard quality then the bitterness will not be there in the olive oil and the bit of irritation in the throat will be due to the presence of antioxidants present in the olive oil and these antioxidants will be present again only if the Olive oil has been extracted using fresh olives and Antioxidants are very beneficial for the body.... This Colvita Olive oil contains both these important testing factors, I have tried the Borges Olive Oil too but I have not found both these qualities in the Borges one, after study I tried the Colvita Olive oil and it was a treat..... This is my second bottle and I like it completely. The price of this bottle is bit costly when compared to other olive oils available but quality does come at a price and when we are having a product like Olive oil we intend to get the benefits of it and if the benefits are lacking in the less costlier ones then they wouldn't give any benefit to the body. As for consuming, FDA, the premier agency of the US has advised having two tea spoons daily (5ml + 5ml), taking more than that wouldn't give any added benefit. I consume it directly by putting the same in the spoon and drinking it. This Olive Oil is highly recommended.

Colavita never disappoints. Did not find much of a difference tastewise between organic and the regular colavita extra virgin olive oil but this gives one a chance of enjoying the goodness of Italian extra virgin olive oil with the brand’s guarantee of it being organic. If one is looking for a good extra virgin olive oil, which is organic, and is reasonably priced, then this is worth a try.

Just take a spoonful and first enjoy the smell (take your time doing it; everything else can wait). It is loaded with great flavor of olives, tastes slightly bitter, aromatic, awesomely tasty and it delivers a peppery/prickly kick back of the mouth when you taste it. Antioxidants in the oil is responsible for delivering that friendly kick. Just love it. It is a bit pricey, but if you compare the health benefits it offers then it is easily priceless. We use it extensively in Salads, Italian foods and just take 1 tablespoon in the morning and night for its health benefits: fights inflammation, protects heart and kidney health, elevates moods,drastically improves energy levels, great for people suffering from IBS/stomach disorder, good for vision and tons of cognitive benefits too. We can use EVOO for Indian cooking too other than deep frying. We tried it as a side dip during a Pizza party at our house and the pizza tasted yum (just add freshly crushed pepper powder) !! Good job Colavita and Amazon. Excellent product in a glass bottle delivered safety and swiftly by Amazon. And yes, I will buy it forever....

Why did you pick this product vs others?: On refrigeration, this extra virgin olive oil freezes or turns cloudy, a hallmark of s genuine Olive oil.

Slightly bitter, irritated back of my throat, super expensive, glass bottle etc I could go on and on. Better to buy this organic one rather than colavita premium Italian or Mediterranean.

This olive oil is very similar to Figaro EVOO and it’s probably not an authentic high quality EVOO . For reference, when I taste the oil it doesn’t have a strong olive or fruity smell rather it tastes like rancid oil although it does have a mild bitter aftertaste or tingling feeling which is a good sign. Overall I would say that this is a mediocre EVOO, might as well buy the figaro one if you’re looking to save some money.

Good product
