This is one of the reasons I missed seeing you post here. I always learn stuff.How much you wanna spend? If you're on the hydroxytyrosol polyphenol kick and on a budget... I recommend Partanna red or yellow label, Sicily. They have it at Walmart in a can or bottle. I use it in my ginger and turmeric tea and a spoon ful in the am and pm. It's Sicilian. $10 a bottle $17 tin can.
Olive Ranch, California. Walmart and Publix. It's a good all around oil. They have Original, Mild and Bold or Robust one of the two. $6. I use this on my avocado boats in the air fryer. It's really good.
Terra Creta. Greek. This is my favorite Higher low end. I get it from Amazon in a bottle $25.
On the lower high end, Olio Verde, Sicily. It's an affordable higher end.
The harvest date is really important. If it only has a "Best By" date they..."experts" say it can't be trusted. You want a harvest date as close to present year as possible.
Unlike wine, it doesn't get better with time. Like wine, there are a gazillion things to consider. Mikey likes a blend. I don't.
Sorry if it's TL;DR.
Dang JP, I hate I missed you and @chargervol in the zone at the same time. Finally some intelligence up in here (that doesn’t apply to the females in here of course, it’s a given).Charger! You live!
Man, it's certainly nice to hear from both of you. And in the same day, too! It's almost like there's something going on.
Haha if only we could be so smart.Dang JP, I hate I missed you and @chargervol in the zone at the same time. Finally some intelligence up in here (that doesn’t apply to the females in here of course, it’s a given).
Was a kwinky dink that 114 was asking about it right after I'd done some digging for myself. It's all fresh in my mind right now.This is one of the reasons I missed seeing you post here. I always learn stuff.

Several weeks ago I read an article in a magazine about the fake olive oil scams. I studied olive oil in a class years ago for about a week and learned alot, but I forgot alot and a little has changed.
Anyway, I dug a bunch of my info out and compared some of it with new info and I feel like I've got a good handle on it again. No expert, far from it, but I'm comfortable with what I know now and glad I went through it.
