A while back I discovered a great California olive oil producer called Sciabica’s. I particularly like the fact that they press olives by variety and seasons. This keeps their olive oil pure from the trees to the bottle, with no mixing from different varieties or different oils. So it was with great anticipation that I ordered two bottles of Gourmet olive oil from them with the purpose of reviewing them. This review will cover the Sciabica’s Fall Harvest olive oil.
Sciabica’s Fall Harvest Olive Oil Review
Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil Review
In this review, I’ll be taking a look at a bottle of Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It’s labeled as First Cold Pressed and has a Best By date of 11/11/10. This is what I generally call a ’store brand’ of Olive Oil. You’ll find Pompeian Olive Oil on most shelves of grocery stores. Now that’s not a bad thing, it just means they’re a larger company and producer than some of the other Olive Oil producers. I decided to do this review for those who would probably never go out of their way to order a truly Gourmet Olive Oil or look for a special store in their area carrying many types of Gourmet Olive Oil.
Star Special Reserve Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Review
I bought this bottle of Star Special Reserve Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil at all places, Wal-Mart. When I purchased it, I was looking for a pure, non-blended, first cold press Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It has a maximum acidity of 0.5%, which is good.
The label on the bottle stated that it is 100% organic Olive Oil from Italy and packed in Italy. It was Certified Organic by Suolo E Salute. This bottle also has an USDA Organic seal on the front.
