That web site is owned by the parent company of Bertolli. Read how that
page is written. Is it objective? Is it marketing?

Take a look at this page:

<https://www.fooddive.com/news/maker-of-bertolli-olive-oil-settles-class-action-lawsuit-for-7m/521140/>

Would they settle the lawsuit if there was nothing to it?

If you like the taste of Bertolli olive oil, buy it.

For some common folk - like me - Bertolli is fine, for "purists" it might be a no - no...

What does RACHEL RAY use...???

[ I don't use that much, the small bottle I have is Whole Foods "365" brand, and no, I've not read the label for "origin" info...]

Really? You're going with Rachael Ray?

> [ I don't use that much, the small bottle I have is Whole Foods "365" brand, and no, I've not read the label for "origin" info...]

WF 365 olive oil is from California, if I am reliably informed.

I use olive oil once a day, on average, drizzled on bread and/or in a
salad dressing. I'm not a "purist", but I know what I like and that's what I buy.

What I like is Greek olive oil made from koroneiki or kalamata olives. I
usually buy this:

<https://www.amazon.com/Lapas-Organic-Olive-Oil-25-4/dp/B074J82Q17>

I picked up three bottles at Whole Paycheck last week.

We should boycott Chinese products. They're cheap so we won't, but we
should.

We want good paying jobs in the US but we don't want to pay the price
for the products they make. Some years ago we started buying tooling
from China. Made in USA: $16,000 and 12 weeks for delivery. Made in
China: $10,000 and 7 weeks for delivery, air freight included. Quality
is equal.

And all the deplorables who wanted to make America great again are the
last ones to spend a bit more and buy American products.

That's a rather violent reaction. It's just some stinkin' olive oil. Sounds like you'd start a war over olive oil. That's so weird.

And it will be full of melamine, because that makes it cheaper.

The Chinese market for olive oil is huge. Ironically, the Chinese don't even like olive oil. I like soybean oil myself. It's even cheaper than Chinese olive oil.

Soybean oil is the crappiest oil. It's even worse than canola.

Soybean suits my high temperature cooking style. Olive oil does not. I don't like the smell of corn oil or canola oil. Da bajillons of pakes in China cannot be wrong!

The most popular oil in the USA is Exxon oil.
Ironically, many people hate the rich corporation that provides it.

A chef once said to me that he wouldn't even put Bertolli olive oil in
