Pompeian Smooth Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 16 Fl Oz - First Cold Pressed Olive Oil for Cooking - Smooth Taste for Sauteing, Stir-Frying, and Baking

I have been using Pompeian USDA Smooth Extra Virgin Olive Oil for a few years now, never had any problems with it. It is great for cooking anything, including frying meats and veggies. No strong unwanted flavors, no excesive smoke when frying either. It is recommended to use the "Smooth" type for frying, but I never had any issues frying with the regular version. Recently, as a healthier option, I switched to Organic for just a few dollars more which is not that much more expensive. A great price for a NON-seed oil, Organic, Smooth, Extra Virgin and First Cold Pressed. The "Smooth" one is in particular recommended for frying. For the average folks, interested in a healthier cooking oil, at a great price, THIS is the best oil as quality and price. If you are lucky you can find this oil in the stores at a much higher price. I know there are those that are looking for a single source, such as the oil coming from one single country and manufacturer, sold in glass bottles, but this oil is the most affordable you can get with these characteristics mentioned above. I'm guessing that when the oil is being transported from the manufacturers to the depot facilities, from one country to another, or to another continent,, they are not stored in glass constrainers :) So, all in all I am very pleased with this Pompeian USDA Organic Smooth Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I fully recommend it.

Been using this olive oil for cooking and some salads and it’s been really good so far. The flavor is smooth and not too strong or bitter, which I like since it works for a lot of different uses without overpowering the food. It pours nicely and feels like good quality, and knowing it’s organic is a nice plus. Works well for sautéing, drizzling, and even light dressings. Overall feels like a solid everyday olive oil and good value for what you get.

I have been using Pompeian Smooth Extra Virgin Olive Oil Contains Polyphenols First Cold Pressed for years and it stands out as one of the most reliable and tasty options I keep coming back to especially for everyday family cooking. This oil is truly versatile and consistently good. It works perfectly for sauteing roasting grilling drizzling on salads dipping with bread or even finishing dishes. The smooth mild flavor profile has a nice fruity note with just enough peppery kick from the polyphenols without being overly bitter or harsh like some stronger EVOOs can get. It holds up well under medium high heat for cooking (first cold pressed means quality extraction) and it never leaves that burnt or off taste you sometimes get with cheaper oils. When I serve food to family or friends using this one I never worry about the flavor letting me down it always delivers a clean delicious result. What I love most is the reliability. I have picked up different brands from HomeGoods TJ Maxx Marshalls and discount spots over the years and the quality varies so much some bottles taste flat rancid or just meh even if labeled EVOO. Pompeian Smooth stays solid batch after batch with that fresh good taste and the polyphenols add a bonus for health benefits without changing the everyday usability.

Superb peppery spiciness. Love or hate it. It is QUALITY EVO.

The flavour is "robust" but not over-whelming. Tastes fresh. Price is comparatively better than the "top shelf" brand available at my local market, considering quality, flavour and quantity. From frying to using as a simple dressing, it's the "must have" in the pantry.

Great for cooking vegetables or fish. Also good for baking. Excellent price for two large bottles of organic virgin olive oil. Very healthy product.

This is an excellent olive oil with robust flavor. I’ve been using it for years because I enjoy the strong flavor and it’s also organic. Excellent product

I got the Robust to try out, and I'm not disappointed. It has slightly more olive-oil flavor than standard olive oil, not overwhelming. I use it in pasta dishes and making hummas,perfect. A sturdy plastic bottle, and a stong top to it, no problems there like I've had with other brands. On top of that it is very competitive a price, way under other premium olive oil, so I'm happy. I even bought the bigger 48oz size, as I'm using more olive oil to my recipes, it's so good, and I don't want to run out. I also really like the Certified Organic part, making it more reliable to eat, but without the much higher price of other brands of organic olive oil. Plus it is a long-time reliable go-to brand for me. It pours easily with that nice olive oil type insert to pour smoothly like most quality brands have. I didn't have any leakage in getting it to me, as they taped up the top real good. Tastes great, highest quality, low low price,, I'm a happy camper. And I like the fact that I got about a year on the expiration date, and also, that it was 5-10bucks cheaper than other big stores for the 48 oz version, esp. when on sale.

Me llegó super sellado y en exelentes condiciones.

Bon produit, mais trop cher!

Use this as a dressing. Do not cook over high heat

Excellent product and value. As a purist, MOST people that buy organic, would also want a glass bottle. The plastic bottle is the only downside to me.

Not a bad product
