I bought Columela because it had gotten such praise from other reviewers and on other websites. I did a blind taste test of the Columela against my favorite olive oil from O&Co, which is, admittedly, somewhat more expensive. I did not like the Columela. My bottle does not have a fruity taste. Instead, it is somewhat bitter, and I found the taste somewhat unpleasant. I would much rather pay a little more and get a much tastier oil from O&Co.

This Columela olive oil tastes like it must have crack in it. It is so damn good that my inclination is to drink it straight out of the bottle while the pasta is still cooking!!

Fast shipment, and the bottles were very well protected. You've got yourself a repeat customer.

Pronounced olive flavor with lovely herbaceous undertones. Tastes good by itself and leaves no aftertrace of bitterness on the tongue. Even though the percentage of acidity is not stated on the bottle (it sure would be nice if companies were obligated to put this on the label), it is obviously low in acid which is a desirable quality in good olive oil.
I would recommend.
