Default Where is the best deal on Virgin Olive Oil?

If it comes in a can and you store it in the dark it has a long shelf life. I only start looking when I run out and I know that can't be a good strategy. I have Amazon Prime.

If you are looking for a true Extra Virgin Olive Oil , you will find it at the Ancient Olive store in Sumter Landing. You will find true single varietal ultra premium olive oils. You can taste a variety from mild to very robust depending on the type of olive used in the press. Good luck.

tomwed, Mrs. Nucky uses Genco Extra Virgin Olive Oil and orders it from Amazon. She won't use anything else, very picky so it must be good, no complaints here or else I get to sleep with the fishes.

Genco was the Olive Oil Co from The Godfather.

I usually use Costco's Kirkland brand but TJ's is pretty good as well.

This is very interesting and enlightening. Extra virgin is first pressed from olives. I didn't want to ask out loud among so many east coast people who must have grown up using olive oil (I did not) So how long does it stay fresh because oil get's rancid?? Is there any shame in cooking with oil that has no odor, like corn oil or vegetable oil?? or butter?

Stand back. We are gonna get enlightened big time.....lol.

Generally, I don't use EVOO for cooking. Heat will affect the taste of a good EVOO and it has a lower smoke point than a more refined olive oil.
