That is what he is referring to with "really shitty EVOO".

A good quality EVOO is green, robust and grassy and not really
suitable for cooking.

Sheldon stating it is a neutral flavoured EVOO either means it is an
inferior EVOO or is labeled as such and is not in fact Extra Virgin,
rather a second press Pure Olive Oil.

I like good EVOO in a shallow bowl with some balsamic. Use it to dip
crusty bread.
