Venta Del Baron 2019 Harvest Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 2.5 Liter / 84.5 Ounce Tin

This is excellent Olive Oil. The brand is very hard to find in stores and is more expensive than other brands on the market. I switched to this brand about one year ago and immediately noticed a difference in the taste of my dressings. I use this mostly in dressings and sauces and have been very satisfied with the taste. There are many questions about whether some brands actually contain 100 percent olive oil or are a blend of other oils. Some of the brands is question are known and familar brands that when tested only contained 30 percent Olive Oil and the rest was Canola oil with flavoring added. So, it is very hard to tell what brand contains 100 percent Olive Oil by the taste. I believe this brand is 100 percent Olive oil and the container lists the lot number and the date it was picked. There is an international movement to regulate the the production of Olive Oil. It seems the Olive Oil from Italy is blended oil even though the containers state virgin Olive Oil. It seems there is a scam going on. The best Olive Oil in testing comes from Spain. You can google the best Olive Oils available and you would be surprised to find out what is going on in this industry. There are other brands that are as good for less money so you need to do your research to make sure your getting what you paid for.The bottom line is this is a very good lilve Oil, but it is expensive. For everyday use I use Patana Olive Oil which is a family run business from Italy or Bariani which is a California Olive Oil, both which are available on Amazon.

They serve this olive oil at a Michelin star restaurant in Tampa. It’s delicious.

The best olive oil

I ran across this in Priego de Cordoba at a small shop run by a niece of the producer. When she told me it was the best in the world, I thought it was just salesmanship. When I bought a small bottle (500ml) it's box said it had won best in the world rating for, I think, the last three years. It is outstanding, but the flavor is not for every dish. When I want a good finish for a fresh tomato or other cold small dish, it's what I turn to: very floral, fresh taste. It's also great for finishing fabada or similar, drizzled on toast or in a pesto over anchovies and tomato. Not so much if the dish is Italian as it's so obviously Spanish. It's a bit strong for viniagrette, too, in my opinion. I was so happy to be able to correct my mistake of only buying a half liter when I had the opportunity to buy more.

Fantastic olive oil. Great for dipping, salad dressing, eating when you can really taste the oil you’re using. I’d rate it my favorite olive oil I’ve ever had.

Arrived very well packaged and the tin can flawless. The oil is amazing smooth with a peppery finish.Worth every penny. Great product I love it.

Wow! A fruity like taste at first. Then a floral taste. Then u get hit with a peppery taste, but nothing overpowered. Finishes back to floral tadte. Can't go wrong. Oz for oz a good deal if u wanna spend a little extra for sensational olive oil. I did a lot of research and came across a website that had the top olive oils and this was number 1. I also bought the number 2 rated one and the number 1 in Greece. The number 2 was sensational, but a lot more expensive. Just search for the best olive oil in the world. I think it was the 3rd link down that had this number 1 for 2014-2015. I'm excited to use this for a homemade pesto. Hopefully it will turn out as good as it tastes. Got to cherish excellent food and know ur lucky to being able to spend extra money for the quality. Hope this helps.

I was disappointed in this "premium" olive oil!! Way too peppery for my taste. I like a snappy olive oil, but a milder taste. Would not buy again. Have to mix a little with my Partanna so I can use it up slowly.
