Olive-oils-hero

Extra-virgin olive oil is the highest-quality olive oil you can buy. But we found many that weren't worthy of the "extra-virgin" tag.

We put 21 extra-virgin olive oils from New Zealand, Australia and Europe through a chemical test, and also asked a panel of expert tasters to assess their quality.

Find out which 3 oils rated best and earned our recommended tick.
