Comments on: Kirkland Signature Extra Virgin Olive Oil Best Imported Oil http://addictedtocostco.com/2010/07/29/kirkland-signature-extra-virgin-olive-oil-best-imported-oil/ Just a few of the reasons why I love Costco Tue, 22 May 2012 11:32:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jerry http://addictedtocostco.com/2010/07/29/kirkland-signature-extra-virgin-olive-oil-best-imported-oil/#comment-102201 Jerry Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:15:33 +0000 http://addictedtocostco.com/?p=2444#comment-102201 Costco (Kirkland) olive oil is excellent for the price. It is .50 free acid(must be no more than .80 evo in CA and Europe) , from Tuscany,( the olive trees usually highest in oleic acid=good acid)and has IGD designation (the best is DOP=more expensive) Their one liter bottle is about $12. What a steal. And it does have some pepper after taste which is very good-means fresh and good quality, and good polyphenols. At times, I will buy 375ml CA evo for $13. Such as Appolo. it's Baruni has an intense pepper after taste, which I like, and therefore excellent polyphenols. One liter equals 1000ml. Costco (Kirkland) olive oil is excellent for the price.

Found your article while looking around for the smoke point of this oil. Do you (or anyone else out there!) happen to know what it is? I've been purchasing the KS EVOO from Massachusetts locations for a couple years now. The branding on the bottle is <b>KS Filippo Berio Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil</b>. I bought it without knowing much about it other than it was in Costco under the KS brand which I've found to be of great quality across the board be it food, luggage, clothing, or whathaveyou. I'm gathering from the comments that there is a obviously some variety by location or simply a number of different EVOO sold under the KS brand associated with Filippo Berio or Toscano. Confusing! Do you happen to know where we can find some clarity about which product was involved in that test? Love the blog - whether or not your getting a nice backrub from Costco it's quite useful :) Hi there! Found your article while looking around for the smoke point of this oil.

It appears to be the Kirkland Extra virgin obtained exclusively from Italian olives and not organic. I can not find it anywhere- Thanks, p.o. pesach770@verizon.net Please, can someone advise where I can buy this oil?

I made the mistake of purchasing rib eye at a VERY large retailer because I thought the price was reasonable and I must say it was truly the worst piece of meat I have ever bought bar none!

Is it the case in all of its branches? We are very disappointed! For the doubtful, I was raised in Middle East with a family that works with olive trees and making olive oils. This oil is as close to what i had in my childhood as it gets. I hope they will stock it again. Costco in NH and MA doesn’t stock our favorite oil (Kirkland Extra Virgin Olive Oil Toscano).
