WHAT: Cobram Estate California Select Extra Virgin Olive Oil
WHY: Listen. You don’t want to read 18 paragraphs on the fraudulent horrors of Big Olive Oil. And that works out, because I don’t want to write them.
We know there’s drama there, we know bottles are mislabeled, we know almost all companies take liberties with marketing language, and apparently we’re all being duped into buying “rancid” olive oil every second of our misinformed lives.
So let’s just skip to the end, so that I can tell you about an EXCELLENT olive oil that doesn’t traffic in all that.
It’s this one from Cobram Estate. And blessedly, it’s waiting right there for you at your favorite Target. Of course you have a favorite Target. We all have a favorite Target.
You know that warmed-from-the-summer-sun taste of a ripe tomato? This tastes like that. Gorgeous for roasting, baking, and bursting with polyphenols, which are flavor-packed antioxidants that may or may not be basically the foundation of health and youth.
The pièce de résistance is that each bottle comes with a built-in “pop-up” spout that makes it joyfully easy to use, but also helps to not go completely hog-wild while dousing your frying pan in preparation for grilled bread.
What? You’re not making grilled bread in a pan with olive oil and serving it with everything you cook during the weirdest summer of everyone’s life where all we really have to look forward to day after endless day is food?
Welp. Consider this the first day of the rest of your life.
