Try spanish olive oil. I'm spanish, so I probably have a bias. You can have pretty decent olive oil for less than 4 euros / litre here so olive oil is the only oil I use.
If you buy oil bottled in Spain look for the "extra virgin olive oil" label: Aceite de oliva virgen extra. We are pretty serious with labeling around here, so you won't be fooled.
There are varieties like picual, hojiblanca, arbequina or cornicabra which are different in color and taste, and are named after the olives they are made from.

- bprieto 10y agoIn Spain 20 euros buys you a liter of the best specialty extra virgin olive oil. This is why good olive oil poured over a toast covered with pureed tomatoes is such a popular breakfast.
- mixmastamyk 10y agoTrader Joe's has it for $6.99-9.99, though after reading this article, I'd like to hear some confirmation on its quality.
- woobar 10y agoCheck out Costco. Their brand is not only cheap, but one of the few that are real. The price went up since 2010, but it is still around $10/l. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/5-things-you-should-buy-at-costco/ http://www.cbsnews.com/news/5-things-you-should-buy-at-costc...
- pfranz 10y agoThe articles I've read (your's included) explicitly pointed out Costco's Organic olive oil. Costco also sells a non-Organic version that's cheaper but I haven't seen anyone say either way if it's actually EVOO.
- brewdad 10y agoFWIW, having bought a bottle of the non-organic EVOO at Costco today, I can say it is labeled as if it is real.
