The best at every price point:

has an essence of grass clippings and wet leaves. It tastes stemmy and woody, its warmth and spice paired with unabashed bitterness and a tannic quality. This isn't the oil for everyone, but several of our tasters adored it.What We Were Looking For

We set out to find the best extra-virgin olive you could buy in a large cross-section of America’s grocery stores, plus a few that could easily be purchased online. Since olive oil is best used quickly, most of our editors tend to just keep one bottle around. So instead of focusing on two bottles being the “best for cooking” or the “best for finishing," we focused on finding the most crowd-pleasing bottles in an assortment of price ranges. Because, honestly, we can tell you what we think is best, but you’re gonna do what you want with it as soon as you get it home.

Calling one bottle “the best” is also a tricky business. As with any crop that fluctuates from year to year, the taste of olive oil changes from year to year. And, just as different varieties of grapes produce differently flavored wines, different varieties of olives produce differently flavored oils, and everyone's preferences are different.

After scouring Internet best-of lists and digging through the highest-rated oils on popular buying sites, we gathered blends and single-varietal oils from around the world. We sourced oils only from the 2018 harvest, but we recommend buying 2019 oils if you can. A group of Epicurious editors and staff sampled the oils over a two week period in a blind tasting. All oils were opened just before they were poured into unmarked containers. Oils were tasted first in groups according to price range.
