Costco usually has some artisanal (for lack of a better phrase) bottle...not the giant kirkland one.
Terra Delyssa

We found out that you can buy this stateside after visiting the vineyard on the side of Mt. Vesuvius. It's $30 for a 500ml but we only use it as an fishing oil.

I get my olive oil from Red Stick Spice company in BR. They have many flavors of olive oil that can enhance a dish. Otherwise, I use Vigo and I like it. Ive heard of
Messiniako olive oil being excellent but havent gotten my hands on it yet.

Someone in my extended family imports olive oil by the barrel. The old family from Italy handles it on the Italy side. Not sure who it comes from exactly because by the time it makes it to me it is in a plain bottle.

I buy Terra Delyssa. Single origin Tunisian, reasonably priced, available at Winn Dixie.

Pay attention to exp dates. It goes rancid after about a year. I believe new oil is available around Feb typically.

Olive Oil Loversis a company that searches for pure OOs around the world. They have a ton of info on each one, and they are exceptional oils at fair prices.

The one I currently have they are sold out of, but you can find just about anything here. I currently have an Italian for every day use and a Greek one for sweet uses. I bought a bag in box so that it lasts a long time.

I almost always buy Rouse’s Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Sicily.

I was gifted some Tuscan herb infused oil from Lake George OO Co. that I really enjoyed. I’ve since purchased more bottles to gift and it’s always well-received.

For the price Trader Joe’s EVOO is damn good. I use it in almost everything I cook.

Send Annettee an email at Jimmy's Food Store, their selection can't be beat and they will ship you whatever. They usually have these two in stock, both great for cooking and better than anything sold at a regular store.


I would pick one of those and then get her to pick me out a nicer bottle for dipping. I prefer Greek and Sicilian and the two below were fantastic, but I haven't seen either in a while, so just see what she recommends.


I'm in Louisiana for a few days or I would swing by tomorrow, grab a Philly roast pork and take a picture of what they have. It's my neighborhood spot, they're great people, and the one food place no visitor to Dallas should miss.

Flag from Sicily is what I buy in local stores when I am not getting the super premium stuff shipped to me from my source in Tuscany.

I'm a huge snob when it comes to Olive Oil, so I apologize, but the best I have ordered so far is Centonze. It has a great back-of-throat peppery finish.
