Answers: Which store-bought extra virgin olive oil is the best?

• Extra virgin olive oil tasting
• Olive oil quality criteria
• Acidity in olive oil
• Olive oil origin labels and import regulations
• Harvest date and shelf life of olive oil
• Olive oil packaging and bottling materials

What it concludes

• Acidity is an indicator of olive oil quality rather than a direct taste characteristic.
• Imported oil labels saying "Imported from Italy" do not necessarily mean the olives were grown in Italy.
• Olive oil does not have an expiration date, but should ideally be used within 18 months of production.
• Olive oil should be stored in dark glass containers to protect it from sunlight, avoiding clear glass and plastic.
• Pricier olive oils are not always the best in quality or flavor.
