We make our own olive oil and only real way to actually taste real olive oil is to pick olives when they're extra ripe, then you need to salinize them in sea water for week or more, and then you press them. Also, remove as many branches as possible since they add bitterness as well. You will not buy this kind of olive oil anywhere because, well, its not EXTRA VIRGIN, and only thing that means its unripe olives. Unripe fruit doesn't taste like fruit is supposed to taste. It's easy.

I didn't say it was real, I said it smelled and tasted real. The smell was very strong, the color green and not yellow, and the taste was like olives in a jar. Fresh olives don't grow here. I should have said it tastes like I imagine fresh olives taste.
I didn't know the price before tasting it. It was richer and had taste rather than regular olive oil tastes plain to me. I always bought California olive oil and not blends of various cheap oils.
