This is really tasty. I like olive oil to taste like green olives with a nice pungent taste. This gets there.

I do feel like the cheaper version of this has a more floral, grassy taste I prefer. This is still a great olive oil though. I just don’t necessarily think this is something i’d cook with all the time. The cheaper version of this has a taste that is a little less bold, but still distinct and works well on everything. I’d say this one works well as a finishing oil, but you can use it in cooking. I would just say that if you’re going to buy this, take a little sip of it to see how it really tastes before you start using it on everything to see how you like it. This one is a little more earthy and peppery than the cheaper one.

This is a wonderful addition to any form of Italian cooking. It is also great with fresh salads. The flavor is very good and far different than the everyday run of the mill EVO. I used it while making homemade pasta as well. I would not suggest using for frying as mostly all olive oils do not work well at high heat. Think of this as a secret ingridient that brings good flavor.

Simply one of the best olive oils that I tasted plus it has D.O.P. and from Italy. Not bad for the price. A great tasting virgin olive oil Segreto. I drink a teaspoon in morning and at night. I only use it for salads.. not for cooking . Simply too Delicious to waste on cooking. Awesome for the heart . My compliments, thank you for this great tasting olive oil will be ordering regularly.

Love this olive oil! I use it to make pizza dough and sauce by scratch. Such rich flavor, even when you open the bottle it smells amazing. I was skeptical if spending more $ to purchase a premium olive oil, but I’m so happy I did. It lasts a long time, so it is well worth the investment. I’ve been using it over the past couple years and have only just recently purchased a third bottle (note though that I only use the oil when making italian dishes from scratch, i use lower quality oil for other things like veggies)
