A lot of California olive oil now comes with a pressed/bottled date so you can see how fresh it is. That poo poo coming from Italy is probably old and has been exposed to poor shipping/storage conditions.

But yeah, look on the bottle for the pressed date. The more recent it is, the better. The first time I had proper fresh, green extra virgin that had this almost 'burning' sensation... magic. I picked it up at a olive grove storefront in Napa.

this makes sense, and I've honestly never thought much about it beyond "oil smokes less at X temperature if I mix it" :downs:

mindphlux accepting something contrary to his original opinion? Now I've seen it all.

Side note, it appears GWS is going hog wild without any moderation so please, go forth and wreak havoc in the crock pot and chili threads

Italians keep all the good poo poo for themselves, much like the French. The poo poo stuff is what they export.
