Pompeian Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Contains Polyphenols, First Cold Pressed, 32 Fl Oz

I’ve been using Pompeian Robust Olive Oil for years — it’s a staple in my kitchen. It has a bold, unmistakable olive oil flavor that works beautifully for cooking, drizzling, dipping, and grilling.What sets this apart is that it’s first cold pressed, which is more important than just the “extra virgin” label. First cold pressing preserves the healthy fats, antioxidants, and linoleic acid that make olive oil so beneficial. If your EVOO isn’t first cold pressed, you’re not getting the full health benefits or the rich, authentic flavor.This one checks all the boxes — quality, taste, affordability, and availability. I recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable olive oil that delivers both nutrition and great taste without the high price tag.

I got the Robust to try out, and I'm not disappointed. It has slightly more olive-oil flavor than standard olive oil, not overwhelming. I use it in pasta dishes and making hummas,perfect. A sturdy plastic bottle, and a stong top to it, no problems there like I've had with other brands. On top of that it is very competitive a price, way under other premium olive oil, so I'm happy. I even bought the bigger 48oz size, as I'm using more olive oil to my recipes, it's so good, and I don't want to run out. I also really like the Certified Organic part, making it more reliable to eat, but without the much higher price of other brands of organic olive oil. Plus it is a long-time reliable go-to brand for me. It pours easily with that nice olive oil type insert to pour smoothly like most quality brands have. I didn't have any leakage in getting it to me, as they taped up the top real good. Tastes great, highest quality, low low price,, I'm a happy camper.

I have tried many extra virgin olive oils over the years, but the Pompeian Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil stands out as one of the best. Being first cold pressed, it retains its pure, fresh flavor and the beneficial polyphenols that true EVOO lovers seek. The aroma is grassy and fruity, with a pleasant peppery kick—exactly what you expect from a premium robust olive oil.This oil shines in salads, bread dipping, drizzling over pasta, roasted vegetables, or finishing meats. It elevates simple recipes with authentic Mediterranean character. The 101 fl oz family size is great value for home cooks who use olive oil daily, and the dark protective bottle helps maintain freshness longer.If you’re looking for healthy, antioxidant-rich olive oil with bold taste and guaranteed authenticity, this Pompeian Robust EVOO is a smart buy. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates quality cooking ingredients.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been ordering this Olive Oil for about a year. It is consistently fresh, great tasting, versatile and economical. I have used olive oil almost exclusively for cooking, salad dressings, everything - for at least 10 years. I'm 70, and have low cholesterol, good blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. After opening, I fill a pint bottle for daily use, and put the large container in the fridge to avoid oxidation. It lasts forever. Highly recommend!

So my "relationship" with olive oil may be a little different than the average person's.I grew up in an area where among hip tapas bars & fancy specialty pizzerias, a boom of literal Olive Oil Stores erupted. They are literally like wineries and besides filling your order from real wood barrels that have a TAP in them, they also have tastings! Believe me, I rolled my eyes at these establishments as much as the next middle-income-ranged person, however I did wander into a few of them over time for the free tastings to see what all the fuss was about. In addition, 2 friends of mine were pseudo chefs who perpetually stocked a delightful array of olive oils with broad, distinctive flavor ranges for their guests' delight at every get-together, so I've got a bit of a "palate" when it comes to olive oil now.I've come to despise the cheapie stuff that pretty much just tastes like vegetable oil. And I adore a heavy tasting (aka robust) olive oil with some salt & pepperred crackers.The stronger olive oils tend to have a more bitter taste. It's kind of like a craft beer with extra hops.That's what I was hoping for with this olive oil, since it calls itself "robust." Robust is the same word they used to describe the more heavily noted, more bitter tasting oils in the olive oil lala fancypants places, so that's sort of what I was expecting here.Because I know Pompeian is usually a less expensive brand, though, I kind of knew I was taking a gamble.And yes, I was not wrong. The Pompeian "Robust" is a far cry from any authentic robust flavored olive oil. However it is a decent tasting oil, it has a nice consistency, it says it's organic, and is totally useable in any situation olive oil may be called for.So I'm glad I tried it. My favorite olive oil is a stronger tasting one from Costco that brings with an S but the name of it escapes me now. Similarly priced to this one, the Pompeian just simply does not measure up. But it's versatility & *slightly* stronger taste than the flavorless dribble of the cheaper supermarket brands give it some hope.It's got a weak, nutty flavor that maybe resembles pine nuts in the far away distance... and it does have a small bright sweetness.I probably won't buy it again, but I'm not furiously disappointed with my purchase & may grab it once more in a pinch.Happy hunting!
