Product Description
Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil stands out for its flavor, color and aroma. It comes from the first cold pressing of the olive and is filtered before bottling to remove the natural sediments. Its fruity full-bodied flavor is perfect for salads, vegetarian dishes and soups. It is ideal for sauces and marinated dishes, meats, fish and poultry. Use it where a strong, full-bodied olive taste will be appreciated.

 PLASTIC bottle! Not nearly the same taste as Bertolli in glass bottles December 11, 2009

I have been using lots and lots of Bertolli Oil for long time. I use it only raw, so I can fully appreciate its flavor.
I was really pleased to see it here on Amazon, at a price that is slightly lower than in any local stores.
What a huge disappointment it was to see, upon delivery, that the bottle was cheap transparent plastic.
Decent quality extra virgin olive oil MUST be in glass bottles or at most cans (e.g. Carli oil has some big cans along with glass bottles), even better if dark glass, because light and oxygen deteriorate its quality very easily. You will never ever see a good quality oil is plastic bottles!! I am Italian and this is something that any Italian knows very well.
I could not believe that they ruined the Bertolli oil storing it in cheap plastic, and the taste reflect this poor storage. It does not nearly have the same rich taste as the oil that is stored in glass. I believe this is because it has been stored for too long in that worthless bottle. It expires in 1 year so probably it was bottled about 10 months ago.
This oil as it is in the plastic is really not worth the price, for the taste it has, you can find some better oils for lower price (while to me the Bertolli oil in glass bottles is UNBEATABLE for its rich taste, and I have tried many many oils).
This is why I am canceling my subscription and I am going back buying again the same oil in a local store that sells it in respectable glass bottles.
You can google "extra virgin olive oil plastic" and you'll find many results that advice to stay away from plastic bottles as oils absorb PVCs a lot, even at room temperature. This is unhealthy and strongly affects the taste of the oil.
 Good Product! November 13, 2009

I have to admit, I am an Olive Oil snob. I cook alot and extra virgin is most generally my choice. Now most of you know, that oils and vinegers run the gamit as far as price is concerned. The better the quality....the more you pay. For a passionate cook who also watches the budget, this olive oil fits the bill. Great quality at a good price. Nothing beats the smoking point like olive oil as far as my cooking goes. I keep several kinds of oil in my pantry and they all do different things, so do not assume that all oils are the same or deliver the same performance. Read up on their "specialties" for good quality results. I have this oil on auto delivery and it is just about gone when I receive my next order!
great value, great quality October 23, 2009

ok - i was buying smaller bottles at wal mart for $18.. when i found out i can buy the bigger bottles on a subscription deal for cheaper? i of course signed right up.
bertolli is the standard in olive oil.. i use it on everything - it tastes better than the other oils and is so much healthier.
i heard a chef on tv one time state he hated using that because his belief was that once heated, any health benefits were eliminated.. NOT TRUE.
after i switched to olive oil, within 5 months my good cholesterol rose SIGNIFICANTLY to the point my doctor asked what i did..
but the funny thing is - i didnt change my diet AT ALL.. and i mean they said it was raised ALOT which is great news! i told them about the Olive oil change and the dr. accredited my change to that.
trust me - taste and health u just cant beat it.

Great item at a great price! Fast delivery and free shipping. I was very satisfied with this high quality olive oil in that size bottle. I got two bottles and will get more in the future if the price remains the same.
You SHOULDN'T be using anything else! January 18, 2009

Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a fixture on my kitchen counter. I use it in preparing meats, sauces, veggies, pasta dishes, salads and more. The health benefits of the Mediterranean diet should be known to everyone by now. But, if you haven't yet discovered the difference in taste between Bertolli and other brands, you are in for a great surprise. Once you try Bertolli, I'm sure you'll stick with it!
The price is good, and the free shipping is great!
