Re:Only virgin type of olive oil reduces the risk of mortality by optymizer on Monday October 24, 2022 @09:34PM (#33325070)
I am a big fan of the Spanish virgin olive oil at Costco (the one in the tall green bottle), so I got excited when I saw their olive oil from Italy. I thought it would also be great, but it tasted very very strange. I don't know what 'acrid' is, but the word sounds like what that oil tasted like.

Costco sells a few different Italian olive oils. The best flavor is the Toscano or Val di Mazara. (Which one they have varies from year to year.) They only have these for a while from late spring until they runs out, and it is the most recent October/November harvest. They are in tall square green bottles, perhaps similar to the Spanish you mention.

Yes, I should have been more specific. Out of the two italian olive oils in tall bottles, the one with the purple colors tasted bad to me. I think it says Italy on it in big letters. The green label bottle, also from Italy but which says Toscano, tasted just fine (though I still prefer the Spanish bottle).
