Olive oil recommendation
Posted on 6/22/26 at 5:27 pm

I need some good olive oils. I got to where I'm cooking everything again. I noticed how much better a good olive oil made a dressing or veggies.
I'm currently using this one (Partanna Pic below)
and it's good but I'm looking for better but not single malt aged scotch prices either.
I used to think Bertoli was good but it's really not. I'm sure some here have some good recommendations.

No shite , the Kirkland Costco brand gets great reviews and is single source, cold pressed.
I’m not a big enough olive oil fan to give any more advice, but I did enjoy the Kirkland and it’s definitely a different level than Walmart type shite.

olive oils packaged for domestic companies are crap, they get the dregs of the the run. Spanish and Greek oils are typically cheaper than Italian and just as good as far as supermarket bottles go. We usually keep one Italian extra virgin oil for salad dressings and vinaigrettes and one Spanish oil for cooking

I gave up my Costco card because I wasn't using it at all. Their oil was pretty good

Check out the Graza brand for both cooking and finishing oil. But if you want something special, Cantina del Vesuvio evoo is really good stuff.

I buy the Kirkland Signature brand from Costco. It’s single sourced imported extra virgin olive oil from the Terra Di Bari Bitonto region. It’s. awesome and I would highly recommend it.
From what I’ve read, Partana isn’t a high quality olive oil.

My ex wife fell in love with Oleoestepa Hojiblanca on a train from Marseille to Barca. I still use it to this day, the taste is fantastic, and takes a Caprese salad, etc. to a special level. Avocado oil is used for conventional stuff. I buy the Oleoestepa from oliveoillovers dot com. You can often find discounts on last year's harvest.

Not sure if you live near old metairie but "Old Metairie Olive Oils and Vinegars" has some good choices. Can try samples.

Graza brand for both
I use this, pretty good. I have one picky kid that seems to taste everything vs. just eating it and he has not mentioned it one time!

Flag Castlevetrano oil from Sicily that Dorignac’s is the distributor of now.
Sometimes we get a can shipped in from a grower we know in Tuscany.
The good stuff has become ridiculously expensive.
