Iliada Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 68 Fl. Oz.

Very tasty olive oil entirely from Greek olives. I've used it both for salad dressing, cooking savory dishes like chicken souvlaki as well as baking sweet dishes like almond cake.The only drawback, and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is that the bottle is so tall (and narrow) that it doesn't fit in any cabinet. I've gotten lots of 68 oz olive oil bottles from different brands and they're all a bit wider and therefore a lot shorter. Would have bought another half dozen bottles of this one if they could fit in a cabinet. Hope the company will look at this review, and others, and put itself in the place of a customer trying to find where to store this excellent olive oil.

If you don't know olives and haven't worked in the olive business, you might assume that what passes for Olive Oil in most parts of the world is Olive Oil. It's not.Olives are a very life-giving plant. The fruit and fruit oil and leaf oil are fantastic. Kalamata is the best variety of Olive Oil, being the most useful at scrubbing the body of toxic fat and oil, and giving the best nutrients. I speak from decades of personal experience in medicine and health.In Greece, there is real Olive Oil thick as grease, and it's very beneficial. Olive oil in other parts of the world is literally watered down by one third to one half. They call this the Olive Oil Mafia, so they can make more money selling more bottles.I recommend il nuovo, fresh, unfiltered Olive Oil, Olive Leaf Oil, and other pure products from the Olive tree.This product is good. Could be better, darker, greener, with more content.

The olive oil has a wonderful taste and I use it in all my cooking. I love to drench the oil on my bread. Its a bit pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for and I was delighted.

I didn't find the taste bitter as some of the other reviews mentioned. I found it perfect balanced between strength and smoothness. I was using Colavita prior to this purchase and although it was quite good it didn't seem to marry its flavor to the food I was cooking in the same way. Colavita remained an obvious and identifiable flavor. Iliada behaves like every other olive oil as far as cooking is concerned. The difference is it adds a richness that I am now finding almost every recipe needs, almost like salt. I think I might like this olive oil way to much...

This product is perfect in salad dressings.

Have been using this for the past few months - very satisfied!

In the past I've only used regular olive oils from the grocery store until I read an article talking about this product and how good it was; so I decided to try it. WOW!!! What an amazing olive flavor this has! Definitely steps above what I was used to. Just tasting it with your finger you can definitely tell the difference.

This is the most wonderful oil. It tastes pure and makes your food sensational!
