Atlas Organic Cold Pressed Moroccan Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Polyphenol Rich | EVOO From Morocco, Newly Harvested Unprocessed from One Single Family Farm | Trusted by Award-Winning Chefs | 500 mL

You can smell and taste the difference in this fine extra virgin olive oil. I just received this a couple of days ago, and the same night I made a large batch of crostini (with baked fresh baguette slices) for several different bruschetta spreads I had laid out. I generously brushed the slices with olive oil before baking, and they turned out perfectly crispy and delicious. I shared them with my 4 housemates, and they all loved them. However, I actually bought this brand of olive oil to use daily for its health benefits. I drank my first teaspoon today, but will probably graduate to about 1-2 tablespoons. I never thought I'd "drink" olive oil, but it wasn't bad at all, and after reading a lot on the subject, I thought I needed to give it a try. This is a premium olive oil from Morocco that's cold-pressed and rich in polyphenols. Polyphenols offer significant health benefits by reducing chronic inflammation, improving blood pressure and cholesterol, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and protecting against cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and certain cancers. However, not all olive oils are equal. In fact, I read that there are a lot of fraudulent olive oils out there that are mislabeled as extra-virgin even when they're not. A 2010 study conducted by the University of California–Davis Olive Center tested supermarket samples of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and concluded that more than 69% of olive oil labeled “extra virgin” did not meet the legal standard. Who wants fake (heat-treated or refined) olive oil when you can have the real deal? Now, other polyphenol-rich olive oils, including the one promoted by Dr. Gundy, can be VERY EXPENSIVE. Gundry MD Olive Oil is also produced with Moroccan olives and is rich in polyphenols; however, it's 3 times more expensive than this brand. Atlas Olive Oil, I believe, is comparable in quality, and the price is polished. If you want a superior quality olive oil at an affordable price, this is the one!

Excellent flavor with a slight burn in the back of the throat. It is excellent for sauces and baking. Compared to other brands this is a great value. Will purchase on repeat!

This is the best Olive Oil I have ever used. The taste and smell is great. I use it for everything , cooking, sautéing, as a dressing. The oiliness is light and tasty. It is packaged and sealed well. I would highly recommend this Olive Oil.

The smoothest tasting olive oil I've ever had, no bitter taste whatsoever. Also the healthiest. Pricy? Maybe but put into perspective, use a cheaper oil to cook with and save this for the real health benefits--drizzle over salads, soups, sour dough bread, popcorn (you won't miss the butter) and many more foods. Have a teaspoon for the abundant polyphenols & antioxidants. An excellent introduction to top-shelf olive oils.

I have been using EVOO in my dressings and cooking for years. I was raised by a "health nut" and even worked in a weight loss clinic. I recently did a lot of reading regarding polyphenols and the health benefits of EVOO. I love a peppery taste and need some antioxidant relief. This was my first online food order ever. I read the reviews and the stats before choosing Atlas. A few said theirs arrived rancid. I have to be completely honest. I THINK mine is as it is supposed to be. It is unlike any other I have tasted. It truly has a peppery finish! I LOVE pepper, but it is a bit of a scratchy slight burning sensation in the back of my throat. It is golden in color. I like the flavor in dressings and do not taste it when frying. I'm confused by these statistics: Cultivars Old bicentenary orchard Picholine du Languedoc (French variety, 80%), Picholine Marocaine (Moroccan variety, 10%), Menara (Moroccan variety, 2%), Haouzia (Moroccan variety, 2%), Chemlali (Tunisian, 2%), Dahbia (Moroccan variety, 4%) / modern orchard Arbequina (Spanish variety, 84%) and Arbossana (Spanish variety, 16%). Does this mean there are multiple varieties of olives in this mix? Does this also mean it's made with olives from a bunch of different groves? It is pricier than the ones at my local grocery store. I am going to try Graza which I just saw in the big W store and I will compare. I think that comes in two different types. I nearly forgot to mention, this oil comes out slowly, although it doesn't seem super viscous. It has a plastic insert that stops it from pouring too fast. It's in a dark glass bottle which can keep a fine (or cheap) wine from turning to vinegar or an oil from turning rancid. It was delivered in enough bubble wrap to have been able to drop it off my deck and it would have been unbroken. Very safe and secure!

Excellent smooth tasting Olive oil ! Just as the company described it. Very quality bottle ! I have tried many olive oils but this is the very best when pouring. Comes out very slow and very small amount, great when you want a spoonful before bed. This is the best ever quality olive oil with great bottle design and fantastic taste for a spoonful before bed !! Just exactly what I have been looking for 🏆

This is a great product. Tastes superior, and much better for your health than the plethora of low quality olive out there. A bit pricey, but will buy again for sure.

Ein sehr gutes Produkt und schnelle Lieferung 👍

The flavour is a tiny bit on the earthy side, and my family like it a lot on bread and when cooking

Excellent
