2022 Gold Medal Winner, Very High Phenolic (684mg/kg), USDA Organic Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Robust Intensity, Greece, Cold Extracted, 16.9 oz Bottle, PJ KABOS “Family Reserve Organic - Robust”

EDIT: Customer service reached out to me and very promptly sent me a new bottle. Turns out that the original bottle that I received was missing its seal. This isn’t the fault of PJ KABOS. The missing seal leads me to believe that the first bottle had been opened at some point, causing the rancid odor and taste. Not only is this oil top notch, the customer service is as well. Worth the $$. I bought this to consume as a daily supplement because it is supposed to be high in polyphenols. It is not peppery at all like a high quality oil should be. It also smelled old and a little rancid and tasted rancid. Definitely not the fresh, high quality oil that I expected.

Absolutely top notch. You can taste the freshness. Perfect with a crusty bread or in salad. However, beware that the strong flavor can be jarring if consumed alone, like to accelerate fasting. I love the bitter bite, but not everyone will.

I realize taste is personal, but this is strong, and contains very high levels of phenolics which make olive oil so healthy. I add it to my coffee (yes, may seem strange), but it is so fresh and tasty I try to get as much as possible.

First time ordering and I totally love this olive oil! The flavor is superb! Healthy and somewhat reasonably priced for such a good olive oil.

I’m not the ultimate authority on olive oil, but I am very familiar with what grabs my attention, in regards to smell, visual and taste. Very pungent fresh smell, clarity excellent, a bit of inviting bitterness and a pop of pepper in the back of my throat. My search may be over. I had to put the cork back in and put it out of site. Must remember, everything good in moderation. Very satisfied, with my purchase.
