I honestly have always liked the great value Olive Oil. People think im crazy but its genuinely not bad, its one of the few GreatValue products that holds up to the name brands.
People don’t seem to understand that store brands are sourced from name brands and just relabeled. They don’t actually manufacture their own product, they purchase them from other companies.
@@frightenedsoul You're doing gods work
@@CazadorSlayer It's not olive oil it's like 50% olive oil max mixed with canola
Exactly; and they can cut the price because you’re not paying for a brand name.
@@PurpleHazeVanNederlandsNot what the bottle says.
You never realize how many varieties of a certain product there are until you see them all displayed in front of you. I thought they were like five different brands
Not so fun fact, 95% of the products you see in the supermarket are owned by companies that are owned by the same 5 companies so it's not really that different
@@wumbojet I don't think this applies to olive oil, at least not in Europe.
Just because frito lay owns something or any other the other giant companies that own everything, doesn’t mean that those smaller companies just become ghost kitchens for that big company, they still run their business and they still do things how they like doing it. It doesn’t mean there are only 5 variations of any product just because of that.
@@mikaeljensen4399probably depends on what place youre shopping at too. a giant grocery store is more likely to have bigger, more well known brands that it is efficient to get product from en masse, while smaller more mom-and-pop type stores and markets may have smaller, more local brands.
@mikaeljensen4399 yes it does. They're mostly all blended from the same orchards
Am I really gonna sit here and watch a 37 year old man sip various olive oils for 42 minutes?

I would love it if Kendall would give him an option that he has already ranked to see if he ranks it the same.
In the middle I thought she did, but it turned out to be something new. I think way too hard about these things.
i want to see him rank all the cheap ones or all the 7s and 8s or even just the 8s to find his number one EVOO (im at like 36min so idk if he ranks any higher than 8 yet)
@@ashleyjohnson9651 I won't spoil it.
I was just in Trader Joe's, and they have something like 6 Trader Joe/Giotto EVOO varieties now, plus a couple that didn't obviously look like TJ's but probably are. That could be a whole episode.
Seems like DougDoug finally has competition
This needs to go straight to Botched with Babish for the DougDoug colab
Yes
Nah, Doug would down all of these then go drinking immediately afterwards
I knew i would see a DougDoug comment in here XD
as someone who works at an "expensive" store here in toronto, its actually really interesting to see you ranking our fastest sellers fairly low, and your higher rated ones dont move as quick on the shelves as the, for example, bertolli bottles!
He clearly doesn't like something that all the EVOO snobs key on, and prefers the ones that have softer, more generic flavor. Maybe it's linked to his cilantro thing.
@@blairhoughton7918except most of the ones he ranks higher BECAUSE they taste more spicy and robust to him. so to him, its the expensive ones that have the gentler flavors.
@@ashleyjohnson9651 Totally boring ones he ranked low. But the expensive ones kept getting downgraded for bitterness. They are stronger and it does come off as a little more bitter, and maybe he's more sensitive to it.
Tasting the oils raw doesn't really give you the greatest idea of what they actually taste like in use, I think.
Even adding a pinch of salt totally changes the flavor!
@@blairhoughton7918 that’s because he doesn’t know what flavors to look for. Just like how someone will only like barefoot wines and doesn’t understand higher end wines. Sure, he can like what he wants, but he still doesn’t understand the product.

16:23 The irony: in another taste test (of far fewer oils), I have seen a Sicilian person/chef choose Partana.😜😜😜
As someone who enjoys Partana I feel deeply confused and hurt
Sicilian? Or Calabrian? 😉
I think the quality is kinda hit-or-miss with Partanna. It's usually my go-to and I really like the flavor, but every once in a while I'll get a bottle that's kinda funky. Not exactly rancid, but noticeably different and kinda unpleasant.
I saw this comment, and decided to skip the video. Nothing and no one will take away my love or Partana.
Yeah I use Bertolli and Partana 😅
Andrew finally beating the "only likes expensive things" allegations
Also it would be really funny to give him the same one twice and see if he says different things about them
probably bcs of comperative tasting
He might be a spitter, but he is certainly no quitter.
Nope... got nothing to follow that comment.
My takeaway is that olive oil tastes better when it's blended with a wide variety from around the world which is pretty cool. I feel like a lot of time you get a lot more homogeny, but with olive oil it seems to almost do the opposite and give the oil a bit more life and character
People have espoused the opposite in the past. Without evidence, probably. They just think that since the more expensive ones are single source that it means it's better.
@@F0XD1Eit kind of makes sense in a way. certain areas and soils are going to have different specific nutrient amounts and stuff, so they may just have a specific singular flavor profile that is hard to put your finger on. but when put together with different ones from their own specific areas, the different flavors can kind of push back against each other and make themselves known
"RANK ALL GATORWINES" We all yell in unison
Waiting VERY IMPATIENTLY for gatorwine marathon
i dont know if its a ranking video but in a comment here somewhere, he said theres a gatorwine video currently being edited 👀👀👀
Please make Andrew rank every mayonnaise
There was a test here in Sweden on olive oil just a few days ago, made by an independent company, and three of the more expensive ones were deemed Not suitable for Consumption... While some of the cheaper ones were in the top three.
I didn't expect the assigning of Agent 47 to one of them, but I kinda love that you did. These videos have been super fun, and I love the banter with the crew too.
If they ever make another Hitman movie, Babish should play him
As a Spaniard, I have been forced to come watch this video aggressively fast
Spain makes some of the best olive oil, they make something like 40% of all world production. My aunt lives in Spain and speaks Spanish fluently. Too bad the literal oil mafia are making fake olive oil, it's a massive problem.
And after watching it, how do you feel? 😂
You can't say "forced to come" on TH-cam
If taylor swift came to town and put on a free show, there would be a zillion little girls who could easily say “I was forced to go” sure no one shoved you into doing it, but, I mean it’s an offer one can’t refuse, which in turn is kinda force.
I hate your pedantic comment and had to waste my time explaining this, in fact, you forced me to. Get it now don’t ya?
@@initial_kd wow, your aunt lives in Spain???? That's AMAZING
Missed chance for a DougDoug collab
The way this episode was going I was expecting the last Olive Oil to be from Dollar General.
Andrew, you have a gift for distinguishing between ingredients in an entertaining way for the benefit of home cooks everywhere.
I would love to see you rank brands of supermarket black tea, perhaps with some specialty teas thrown in!
ranking which ranking video will shorten his life the most
Evoo will help you live longer.
Even Andrew should know that a “Best Before” date is not a “instantly becomes bad on” date.
And the long expired one was also in a very dark bottle, which probably helped.
yesterday i had a joghurt that was expired in march, there was nothing wrong with it
if you store things properly, packaging isnt damaged etc they can last long time after expiration (only things i would avoid are meat and idk something like soft cheese)
@@arnoldszwarzenegger6832 I’ve had something similar happen. I’ve also had a head of cauliflower last almost 3 months.
I am thinking that a lot of these rankings would change if they were tasted with foods like maybe a drizzle on mozzarella, bread or a pesto. A grassy, peppery and bitter olive oil is going to diluted by the food pairing. Babish is tasting these like you would wine, coffee and well olive oil to perceive the tasting notes. While wine and coffee are able to be enjoyed without a pairing, olive oil isn't one such thing. I'd like to see his staff take the top 3 oils and some of the mid oils, the ones that he specifically noted bitter and or peppery tasting and serve them to him as a tasting. A drizzle on the mozzarella, a dip for bread and the pesto probably served on the bread as well and see what his opinions are.
I always think in these videos that we need at the end a roundup which shows the rankings with the cost/unit so we can see where the high performers are
walmart is about to get a spike in olive oil sales. wild
I think the $8 bottles may have the freshness advantage. Walmart's opening a case or two of Great Value every day. The $40 bottles are going to sit on the shelf longer. You might have a freshness preference that's aided by high volume sales throughput.
This reminds of the "Cork Master" episode from Frasier.
*Hail Cork Master, the Master of the Corks. He knows which wine goes with fish or pork.*
Was hoping gatorwine would make a comeback as a pallet cleanser.
The descriptions got so specific so quick. We went from “eager” to “your aunt that had too much white wine and starts spilling secrets”
Portuguese avid watcher over here, best olive oil you'll ever taste is your grandparents' olive oil tree plantation's that the local agriculture cooperative sends you to pay for the olives you've collected and sold them ❤
I just watched a 40 min video on olive oil. Worth it!
only babish could make us do it!!! 😂

Haha. "Tomorrow."

He should have just done the review on the toilet
Ranking every microwave popcorn! (Classic butter flavor)
I think he's already done that one. I may just be making that up in my head though.
scott cramer did this!
You have no idea how happy I was to see one of the brands that I use ranked as a 10 (the other brand was not tasted and I can't remember the name) and the brand the old SBUX uses ranked last
definitely should have tried the 100% california version of the California Olive Ranch. infinitely better than their global blend.
Andrew, you should've had this with slices of Italian bread from the grocery store or a baker. It would've been far more appetizing
Ranking Ideas: Frozen Dinners (pasta and rice dishes), Frozen breaded chicken (nuggets,strips & cutlets), Jarred Olives, Pickles (cucumbers only) and Best Orange Juice (pre-made and from frozen)
Definitely a difference in where the olives are grown and at what stage of ripeness they’re harvested and pressed. I’m personally a huge fan of Graza as I’ve found Spanish olives to be very flavorful. The blends are, as you stated, very hit or miss. Love these videos and I feel your pain! That’s a lot of tasting and it will wear down the tongue buds after a while!
The Graza Sizzle was only OK, and a bit disappointing for the price.
But the squeezable, opaque bottle with the twist nozzle? I'm keeping that until it falls apart. It's currently full of Partanna.
This series should be renamed “ranking kitchen ingredients we decided on after too much Gatorwine”
I hate bottles of oil like Lucini- totally busting the bell curve for the rest of the class. I can feel the resentment in all the 6's and 7's. Seriously, look at that classic curve at the end of the video. Well done Babish and crew. Thank you.
I started buying the California grown CA Olive Ranch stuff after Test Kitchen and have been happy with it, but they only tested the global blend here. And neither you guys or test kitchen had Mutti marinara in your taste tests!
its almost impossible to find the California grown -- all I've seen for the past year is the global blend
The Global one doesn't seem as sweet as the California grown. I like the California one.
@@firstname4337 The California grown one is still pretty easy to find in California, but I’ve never tried to find it outside Northern California
I've seen it on the east cost. In fact, i have some in my cupboard, although it's a bit old.
Have you tried the red label yet? It’s “robust,” but also blend. It’s very olive-forward and fairly peppery. Definitely not an all-purpose choice, but I really like it when I want the flavor of the oil itself to stand out
California Olive Ranch has become my new favorite.
Fun fact, Lucini is the imported brand from California Olive Ranch. Check it out.
@@joniund9256it's true
My biggest takeaway is that as a Canadian I'm paying way too much for olive oil. Here it's like, 2-3x the (face value) price, so way more than just the difference in currency.
Anyone else get a little dose of savage pleasure every time Andrew rates a ridiculously expensive product as mediocre or worse? 🙋♂🤭
This actually validated my choice to always buy the cheapest supermarket olive oil when I shop 🙂
If this video doesn't end with you tasting all the combined olive oil you spit into the thermos I am unsubscribing.
I'm actually wondering if the reason the mass-produced ones taste better is because they keep getting pressed through huge amounts of equipment that are in constant use. If you've ever seen footage of an olive oil factory, the machines have residual buildup that most likely flavors whatever sits in it, like how wine becomes more complex if you age it in a whiskey barrel.
Pompian from Baltimore! We just did a project there, and they are expanding their facilities. They even have one of their original olive presses/wheels outside on display along the road.
fun fact, if you want the "best" olive oil, i heard australia and i think brazil? have the strictest regulations around olive oil and companys arent allowed to cut it with anything
EVOO should be slightly grassy and peppery, maybe slightly bitter, but not offensively so. If it's too mild then why bother? I have a mass produced one for cooking, and a single sourced one for drizzle and dip. My lemon agramato is for drizzle and dressing.
wasn't sure how much dougdoug overlap would be in these comments but happy to see it's a lot lol
wheres the Gatorwine chaser
So glad you gave such a high ranking to Lucini because it's the one olive oil I buy anymore.
Please rank boxed cake mix.
dry or as a batter?
@@zebrachickie0016 finished product....so dry.
I really appreciate this video because there's finally something nice for us broke folks.
No DougDoug?
This needs to go straight to Botched with Babish for the DougDoug colab
I gonna tell you a secret, most of the olive oil that you think and in the la les said so that are from Italy or Morocco really are from Spain and it's because they are big buyers of Spanish oil, in the Italian case is because by government rules they could export o ly the 25 % of the Italian oil production so they buy from Spain and label it as Italian and Moroccan do the same.
Regular people usually doesn't know about that so normally they think the Italian oil is the best when is all a big lie.
I prefer Spanish olive oils (the ones labeled so) over Italian or other provenances. And if they are really relabeled Spanish, then I guess Spain is not selling them the best they've got. :)
I love olive oil, it has so many uses beyond cooking.
But I don’t think I could ever drink it, I’m not ItsQCP.
Watching Andrew swig olive oil for 40 minutes invokes the same feeling I got when I saw the pie eating contest in Stand By Me, except I can’t look away this time
I usually buy the California Cobram Estate oil that he ranked 8. Solid, can't miss. Worth the money.
YES! I thought this series was over, thank you so much!
That guy andrew...such a beautiful, terrifying creature...
I think your taste in olive oil is not cheap but the method of your testing made it lean into how the cheaper olive oils taste.
Really high end olive oils seem to be “too bitter” when compared to the cheap mass produced ones but I believe that is because the experience of throating a shot of oil olive is too much to experience in a pleasant way. The more high end ones are meant to be paired with another thing to balance their flavor while still providing a strong olive oil flavor. I feel it’s a less is more situation with the higher end stuff.
I could be totally wrong but the way you ended up describing all the high end oils vs the cheap ones made me consider how the oil is meant to be presented and consumed. Sorta like a nice cologne needing to be used with moderation and care.
What's funny, is that i have a bottle of the Argentinian Lucini myself, and I think it's great.
Watched the whole video to find out the one he loves the most is the one I randomly bought and have in my pantry! Big win! 10/10!!🎉
this series is going down a serious rabbit hole haha
With the price of olive oil in the UK this is one expensive video 😂
Love these “ranking” videos. You should do types of milk next. Cows, almond, oat, etc.
24:42 Andrew’s descent into madness
We need a tahini ranking! So many bad ones out there😢
It was fun watching you taste that amount of oil. Great video!
In Canada we have President's Choice, which is the store brand of Loblaws grocery, but it's the higher end of store brand. Their bare bones basic brand is No Name. I absolutely love the PC olive oil and now I think I know why. It's probably blended. It's grassy, fruity, and peppery. Everything I want it to be. But now I have to pick up some Lucini to compare and contrast.
Rank store bought chicken stocks / broths please! That would be super useful and that’s a continuously growing aisle with both shelf stable and refrigerated varieties and huge price variations
Andy is now ready for his second career as an editor for IGN.
I usually use the Tunisian stuff. It's the best tasting of the value brands, in my opinion, and comes on a nice, large, glass bottle that's easy to hold.
A lot of companies that blend olive oil with other oils use a much larger font for "olive oil" than the rest of the label. Sometimes even bigger than the name.
If you're not reading EVOO labels for the origins and dates, then their marketing gimmicks aren't the issue.
@@blairhoughton7918 I always read the label
Only one Greek olive oil? Unbelievable, I demand a recount
Walmart brand, but I always check the bottle to only get the stuff bottled in spain
Crazy how hard the Babish community blends into the DougDoug community. I'm here for it 🎉
If you're gonna get California olive ranch than why get the global blend instead of the California only?
i havent seen the cali only version in many moons, maybe they couldn't get it either
@@SkeptiSquidIt's in Safeway. Should be a cinch.
I was thinking the same!
I get my olive oil shipped from family in Greece in big metal cans and I feel like Babish wouldn’t like it. Spicy, peppery, cloudy, punch you in your face flavor.
Pompeian is a worker co op, I like them!
That's my typical middle of the road selection from the grocery store because I was too proud to buy the store brand.
I could not be happier that you picked my favorite olive oil and the only one I buy. Technically I buy the organic one, but having tried both it’s even better (they’re both great). I use it with everything, but my favorite use is on a scoop of quality vanilla ice cream with a few fresh cracks of black pepper. Might sound crazy, but it’s an absolutely divine savory dessert that everyone should try at least once!
Learned something in the first 30 seconds. We'll done
Yes, Lucini as a 10 is the only rating that sits right with me wholeheartedly! Their garlic and lemon infused variations are also amazing, and I know nothing about olive oils, NOTHING I tells ya! 😊
Come on California Ranch, because it tastes great but I trust no imported olive oils to not be adulterated.
You do have to make sure to get their 100% California bottle they have a blended bottle that has oils from all over.
The one he tasted was a blend of imported oils.
@@Rdasboss
I trust California Olive Ranch, but the 10 Olive Oil is by that company also. I grabbed some at the store yesterday.
He should have rounded it out with 40 by tasting and ranking his olive oil backwash.
