We blind taste and review 25 supermarket and grocery chain extra virgin olive oils from brands including Bertolli, Cobram Estate, Moro and Squeaky Gate to find out which one is a pantry must-have for all your cooking needs.

  • Discover the top-rated olive oils by CHOICE experts.
  • Sort by price, brand, country of origin and more to find your perfect match.
  • Check out our olive oil buying guide for information on “extra virgin” standards, date markings, and how to choose the best oil for you.
  • Get your free guide to all our taste test winners.

 

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this review to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company (not product).

Our taste test

Each oil that passes both the chemical and sensory tests to be classified as extra virgin is included in a show judging-style tasting. 

Four trained tasters from the sensory panel taste the oils “blind” and award points for aroma (olfactory sensations), flavour/palate (gustatory sensations) and overall impression. Each oil receives a score out of 100, and is graded as follows: 

  • Gold (Excellent oil) = 86–100 points
  • Silver (Very Good oil) = 76–85 points
  • Bronze (Good oil) = 65–75 points
  • No Medal = 50–64 points 

The show judging score accounts for 100% of the CHOICE Expert Rating, our overall score that determines which products we recommend.

How we test olive oil provides details of the chemical and sensory tests conducted by our lab.
