So after multiple threads on the subject, I just went to Costco and got the most expensive olive oil they had. How did I do?

Still going to use healthier canola for most things, but I want to use this for certain dishes and Italian cooking. Also want to use it as a dip when I want to be really unhealthy and bake/eat Italian bread.

Yep, that's something you can use EVOO for. I sort of wanna do that now.

Huge areas of Australia have a Mediterranean climate and we have a large Italian and Greek diaspora living here.
We also have some of the most stringent food safety laws on the planet.
Our olive oil is a lot like our wine- it may not be the absolute pinnacle of snooty gourmet wankery but it’s excellent quality for the price, and you get exactly what it says on the label.

this is simply not true, yes you have olives oils more suited for a dressing or putting it on a dish after cooking, and they tend to be a tad more expensive.
