I don't doubt that there are probably Olive oils that different, possibly "better", but are there Double Blind tests similar to Wine to see how much people can even discern taste wise from these different brands?
I did some googling and found nothing.

- sergioj97 7y agoI think there are health and quality issues unrelated to taste.
- Arnt 7y agoIIRC the German magazine Ökotest did a test that included double-blind tasting while I subscribed. It'll be behind the paywall on the magazine's web site. Googling for English terms wouldn't find it even if it were publicly available, since it's in German. The Italin and Spanish take oil seriously, maybe you can try Italian or Spanish search terms. Or, instead of googling or reading, why not try tasting yourself? There is much to be said for trying things yourself. I suggest that you buy a bottle of a cheap or middling brand and a bottle of something extraordinary and taste it yourself. If you're unsure of how to find something extraordinary, try anything sold in half-liter bottles labelled Demeter, or any half-liter bottle that's more expensive than Demeter-labelled olive oil. (Demeter is an association of organic farmers that one might describe as a little kooky... and Demeter farmers' products are generally very good to excellent.)
