Costa Dei Rosmarini Extra Virgin Olive Oil

It is my impression that people not from the Mediterranean region are not aware of the benefits of drinking extra virgin olive oil. I belonged to this group until two years ago and so did the rest of my family until recently. They've always thought that olive oil (all oils for that matter) are meant to be used only for cooking. They were grossed out when they saw me dipping bread into olive oil (and even drinking straight from the bottle). Anyways, after some persuasion, they finally agreed to dip some bread to taste it, and soon enough they too became converts!It was through Costa dei Rosmarini's Santa Chiara that they were properly introduced to extra virgin oil of superior quality. This extra virgin olive oil has a superb taste with very little acidity. I've been drinking/eating a variety of extra virgin olive oils (including oils from Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal) for at least 2 years now, and the taste from Costa dei Rosmarini has been one of the finest I've tasted (not that the others were bad, in fact, they were also sufficiently good).Costa di Rosmarini's Santa Chiara adds a delicious taste to just about all foods. Sure, everybody recommends adding olive oil to salads and pasta, but we have also added Costa dei Rosmarini to our own food (we cook mainly Mexican at our household), and it adds a delicious taste to whatever it is we're eating. The taste of this olive oil is truly delicate and it doesn't overpower the taste of the food it gets added to.Finally, there are some alternative uses to this oil. Besides drinking it, we also use it as a face wash, and it works very well at fighting the dirt! Even the cats have benefited from a few drops on their food, to help them prevent forming hairballs.It can be such a pity that major stores like HEB and WalMart don't carry high quality extra virgin olive oil like this one for adding it directly to food on the plate. They only sale extra virgin olive oil of lower quality that is meant for cooking.I recommend all who haven't tried Costa Dei Rosmarini extra virgin oil to give it a try!

Great quality olive oil that I found in Italy years ago and still use it every day !!

love this oil. beautiful multilayered peper finish taste. there may be better but its mostly opinion.

My favorite Ligurian oil by far! Light, fruity, and delicate.

Extra virgin olive oil from the region Liguria used by some of the most famous chefs in Italy. It is appreciated even by those who are not used to olive oils thanks to its delicacy, total lack of bitterness, intense perfume, mild flavor e light peppery aftertaste.This fine extra virgin can be found in the most beautiful shops, hotels and restaurants in Italy and Europe.

I am very pickey when it comes to olive oil and this one exceeded all of my expectations! Light, clean flavor of olives with a peppery/fruity finish.
