Rouse's sells a really good olive oil.


You got downvoted for this but it's on the 2022 list of best oils.

I moved to Seville, Spain about 2 years ago Its in the Andulusia province, and olives/olive oil is the main driver of the economy. If you can find it in the US, look for Rincon de la Subbetica. It is widely considered to be the best olive oil in Andulusia and all of Spain. Its used not so much to cook with, but as a topping for salads, bread, pasta, etc. Amazing aroma and taste.




In for one: Rincon de la Subbetica

Hope it's not counterfeit stuff.

What got you to Seville? I visited more than 15 years ago, beautiful city.

Right before the world got derailed by Covid, my wife wanted to go to Spain on vacation. We visited Madrid, Barcelona, Granada and Seville. Loved all of it, but Seville just really stuck with us. Went back to NO and neither one of us could forget about Seville. With everything going crazy in the US after we returned, we just decided if we were ever going to do this, now (then) was the time. So, we sold everything and moved. Best decision we ever made.
Hope you like Rincon. I tried a lot of olive oil from Spain, and there are several fantastic ones, but Rincon really stands out.

Olum is great. I just prefer Rincon - wish I didn't because Olum is cheaper.

Right on. I'm both jealous and impressed with the spontaneity of such a move. Thanks for the rec.

oh, we took a huge leap of faith. But, we figured worse that would happen is that we wouldn't like it and we could then either move back to the US or try somewhere else in the EU. Pretty confident we'll live out the rest of our lives in Seville, but still travel extensively (we've already been throughout Andalusia. Headed to Paris in 2 weeks, and this summer off to Africa, Northern Spain and Portugal).

Temecula olive oil, company in California. They have a website you can order from. All sorts of good things.

Is this considered one of the good ones? This is a serious issue for me with health problems on the line

Oleoestepta.

On a train from Marseille to Barca, ex-wife got a sandwich with ham and something or other on it, and a tiny bottle of this along with it. She raved about it, and I haven't bought another olive oil since (5-6 years.)

It convinced my son to like olive oil on some of his meals. The tin will probably last you a year, but it's worth it.
