My ‘house’ oil is Filippo Berio ‘Robusto’. It’s full flavored, with a bit of a peppery finish. It gives you a good hint of what to expect in an expensive EVOO, at a reasonable price. I like it also for it’s consistency from bottle to bottle. Like wine, olive oil can be better some years than others. It’s consistency also becomes boring, so I do try others and I’m glad you started this topic. I will be trying some of those mentioned.
One called ‘Segreto’ was recommended to me by Rollo, and it is excellent, but 30.00 a bottle near me. The problem, if you can call it that, is that once you open EVOO, the clock starts ticking- it only deteriorates. I stick to the smaller bottles for that reason.
‘Zoe’, as Dave mentioned, was great also, but the store that carried it near me closed. I see it available through Amazon, but I like to see the date on the label before I buy. Fresh is everything in oil.
What you should do is get some good bread, and one of the different oils mentioned here, and do a comparison dipping with your Colavita. I’m pretty sure the Colavita gets mentioned as a good reliable oil, so you’re off to a good start.
Happy hunting.
