1 Lucini Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil
It is the finest olive oil brings us to the Andes. Lucini is an Italian company and their products are grown in the foothill of Argentina, this olive oil adds texture and flavor to pretty much anything you put it on, from baby carrots to baguettes. The taste begins herbal but ends with a present-but-not-overwhelming flavor that evokes a blend of black and green olives. $17.00 for 16.9 ounces.
2 Olitalia Toscana P.G.I.
Olitalia has a large range of olive oils, from your basic extra virgin to lemon- and chili pepper-infused “creative cuisine” varieties. Their “authentic” flavorful line is derived from region-specific olives. It has a very fresh scent and pleasant, green flavor that is especially nice for drizzling on bread or seafood dishes. $7.99 for 250 ml.
3 Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Colavita is a solid, multi-use oil, very useful for sautés and dressings. It’s very light, not a lot of specific flavors, and it makes it a good oil for infusing or otherwise taking a backseat on the taste buds in a marinade or sauce. $7.99 for 17 ounces.
4 California Olive Ranch
California Olive Ranch’s oil has a grassy, faintly fruity flavor and it goes well with lighter dishes and is perfect for “California cuisine.” If you’re making a salad dressing, this oil is the perfect choice for creating a fine topping with just the barest bit of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice and giving a good head start to any marinade. $10.99 for 16.9 ounces.
5 O-Live & Co. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
O-Live olive oil is liked by many people and it is one of an increasing number of olive oils made with olives from South America, in this case, Chile. This oil has a mild finish that lends itself well to sauces and sautes. $9.99 for 16.9 ounces.

8 Carapelli Unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Carapelli has added an unfiltered oil to their line. This one evokes motor oil more than olive oil. There’s a distinctly bitter aftertaste like they found the most unpleasant aspect of an olive’s flavor, isolated it, then exaggerated it. $10.99 for 16.9 ounces.
9 Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil
It has no taste, just an oily texture that sticks to pots and pans in a particularly obstinate fashion. Bertolli is OK for cooking, but be prepared to use to sparingly or wind up blotting your salmon patty or pork chop with a paper napkin like it’s a slice of cheap street pizza. And, well, maybe they deserve what they get. $10.99 for 16.9 ounces.
10 Botticelli Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Boticelli is not too oily, but it has a bitter aftertaste. It’s just ok to cook, but only in the most basic terms of lube between food and cookware. It would probably also do just fine for rubbing into your cuticles or loosening a stuck zipper. $7.99 for 16.9 ounces.
