A Good but not great olive oil
===<br />Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with the manufacturer and always write from my true experience. But please note that I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review.<br />===<br />Review begins:<br /><br />And let me explain why I say this.<br />\<br />1. It is a lighter color and taste than any other EVOO I have bought in the past. The taste is light and fruity, but it is not, in my opinion, what an Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or EVOO) should be like. I have used it on salad, to dip bread in, and in sauces and it just does not impress me, not for the price.<br /><br />2. It is packaged in plastic. HDPE #2, but still plastic. What is the sense of having sustainable olives used to make this, and then package it in something that will end up in a landfill for 10,000 years? HDPE #2 is recyclable, but on average, only 35% of it gets recycled in the USA. I decanted mine to a green glass bottle with a pourer.<br /><br />#3 You really should consider decanting this to another bottle. If you pour it out of this bottle, it has a tendency to slop.<br /><br />#4. This really seems more like a pure olive oil, or this was a 2nd pressing, not a 1st pressing. Granted, this was sourced from Italy and then bottled in the USA and it may have lost something in the shipping, but I honestly do not think this was 1st pressing. For one, it does not indicate that and two, it seems too light to be 1st Pressing EVOO.<br /><br />#5 For the amount and quality, the price seems  too high. This is 16 ounces or 1 fluid pint.<br /><br />So all in all, while I still give it 4 stars, I will be glad when it is finished up, and we go back to what we have been using. Sorry guys, but this is NOT a top Extra Virgin Olive Oil, in my opinion.<br /><br />End of Review<br />===<br />Thank you for taking a minute out of your busy life to read my review.
