In their words

“I go through a bottle of Cobram Estate's 100% California Select olive oil every week or two. I like that it is California Estate grown and it is first harvest cold pressed. The taste is wonderful - rich, robust, and complex with aromas of cut grass and tropical fruit. The pop up pour spout is a much loved added bonus. I use the olive oil for making salad dressing, for dipping bread, sauteing veggi”

verified purchase · walmart.com

“I bought this the other day. I was looking for a good finishing olive oil to use on salads, appetizers and for bread dipping. I was hoping for a more fruity flavor, but I personally found it to have a grassy and peppery tone. It's a little pricey for 12.7 ounces, but overall, I'm happy with this purchase.”
