your favorite olive oil?

Great Value brand

I'm on my first bottle of California olive oil. I think the brand is California Olive Ranch. I've always bought extra virgin regardless of brand.

We went to Sandro's Trattoria in Metairie and they served toasted bread with olive oil for dipping. It tasted so good, we asked them what brand they used and the answer was Boscoli. Turns out, the restaurant is run by the same Boscoli family that makes the Italian products. We've used that ever since.

If money were no object, I'd go with something made from Castelvetrano olives - they're the best olives that ever crossed my gums. They have that olive oil at Zuppardo's, but it's a bit pricy.

pompeian is pretty good value at the price

my friends left a big bottle of the whole foods 365 brand which is pretty good

There's a new place in Pass Christian where you can try many different types of olive oils and mix your own. Kind of like a wine tasting place, but for olive oil. They have some pretty good stuff. Think it is called Pass Christian Olive Oil Co.

I use Provvista brand (made by someone else in Spain) to cook with and Olio Verde for everything else.
