Amazon Kunde –
Die Überschrift beeinhaltet bereits meine Kriterien:
– Geschmack: mild, etwas nussig-bitter und unaufdringlich
– Farbe: eindeutig, intensiv dunkleres Gelb
– Dünstverhalten: es spritzt nicht, zieht eine glatte Oberfläche und riecht nicht verbrannt.
Auch wenn die Weißblechdose eigentlich nicht das Mittel der Wahl sein sollte, hoffe ich, sie ist innen beschichtet und das Zink landet nicht im Öl. Alternativ wäre eine “Small-bag-Lösung” mit Kunststoffbeutel im Karton vielleicht langfristig sinnvoller. Dafür arbeiten Ausgiessertülle und Verschluss sehr zuverlässig; verklemmen nicht, reißen nicht aus und verschließen fest.

The oil works well for our recipes. The cans tend to arrive dented. No impact on the product, just would prefer more protection to the can when shipped. We will continue to purchase them.

I like this oil. Really nice and flavorful, with a bit of a fruity bite, if that makes sense. Excellent for dipping or to use in dressing, I’ve also used it in cooking, and that works too. For this, i’d give 5 stars.
I had to take one star off, though, because the container; i don’t really get how to use it neatly. Almost no English on the can, and no instructions i could find for opening it. There are stickers on the can, so it’s possible stickers are covering something useful. There is a sort of plastic tab to detach, but i didn’t know if i did it correctly, and then i didn’t know if i was sealing it back up properly. The opening is flush with the can top, so it’s doesn’t pour nicely. It gets extra oil pooled up around the lid with each use, and needs wiped off.
This can needs a spout. In one image partway down on the listing page, it shows one can with a raised part to pour it from. If my can is supposed to do that, i don’t know how to fix the top to be that way, and there are no instructions to open it, so it may be user error.

Great flavor, and works well frying, baking, and as a salad topper

I received my tin of Legendary Foods Extra Virgin Olive Oil to try. If all you’ve ever eaten is olive oil from the grocery store, you might wonder if there’s a difference between the different brands or varieties of olive oil.
The answer is YES! Comparing olive oil from the grocery store is like comparing different types of steak to a can of Spam. Not that I have anything against Spam (or grocery store olive oil), but they are not in the same level as a steak.
This oil is sourced from Greece and comes in a 750ml tin. It has a spout on the top that you pull up. Pour out what you’ll use in a week or two in an oil sprayer and it’s easier to use and access.
The oil has a bright green hue and it smells richly of olives. It has a smooth, buttery and fruity flavor and just a bit of a bite. Its absolutely delicious on a salad or just as a dip for some crunchy French bread. Dip your pizza crust in this oil and you’ll never toss the crusts again.
If you store this tin in a cool area, it’ll last for a long time. It has a Best By date on the top of the tin of 7/6/2024. Treat yourself to a top quality extra virgin olive oil!

Review of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Tin, Great Taste Cold Pressed Olive Oil, Fruity Flavor Olive Oil Extra Virgin, Olive Oil from the Land of Sparta 500ml Tin (500ml) sold by Nikolaos Koumantarakis & Sia EE doing business on Amazon as Origenes Devoted To Our Heritage but the brand that is printed on the can is Λegendary Foods (the first letter is a capital lambda in Greek but not sure if the Amazon system will list this correctly since I had to use the ascii code). In English this would be “Legendary Foods.”
They work but I am not a fan of the pull up type of openings, spouts or pourers on metal food containers. These do make for more efficient stacking though. Using the metal (presumed to be aluminum) blocks one of olive oil’s greatest enemies – light.
I cannot determine what the label says as this is in Greek which is fine with me.
This seems to be a very good extra virgin olive oil for finishing. A finishing oil is better used for dipping, making dressing, drizzling, making finishing sauces, etc. Uses a finishing oil to cook is usually a waste except when one is trying to use the last of the contents before they go rancid.
Extra virgin olive oils tend to have a low smoke point which is another reason for not using for cooking.
I typically do my taste testing of finishing oils by a very small spoonful to taste and then also use some to dip bread in. This was a very good tasting olive oil with a fairly strong fruity flavor. Since it passed the simple early taste tests I then will use it for whatever need or want that arises.
