In the last couple of months I have read a couple of articles about how Americans are getting screwed when we buy Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
After reading this last article > Fake Olive Oils
I noticed that the Kirkland Organic got rated as one of the good ones.
Kirkland is the house brand at the Costco stores.
A 2 litre bottle for $14 is a good price for any decent olive oil

Re: Fake Olive Oils
I buy in such small quantities that I couldn't get mine from any of the 'big' stores. All I know is it's green and smells olive-y.
Moink!

Re: Fake Olive Oils
I haven't bought those so called "European" olive oils in more than 10 years. I knew there was something wrong with them by the way they tasted . I like the Californian Olive Ranch. It's affordable and taste great. I've not seen any Texan oils at HEB. That's a shame because HEB seems to go Texan with a lot of their stuff.
Here's a place that I've visited. It has top notch oils as well as some of the best balsamic vinegar:
