Pompeian Robust Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 16 Fl Oz - First Cold Pressed Olive Oil for Cooking - Full-Bodied Taste for Dressings and Marinades

I love Pompeian Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil — it has a nice, bold flavor that adds depth to any dish. It’s smooth and works perfectly for cooking, drizzling, or making salad dressings. Definitely a reliable and affordable option for everyday use. Plus, its purity and versatility make it a staple in my kitchen.

The flavour is "robust" but not over-whelming. Tastes fresh. Price is comparatively better than the "top shelf" brand available at my local market, considering quality, flavour and quantity. From frying to using as a simple dressing, it's the "must have" in the pantry.

I’ve been using Pompeian Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil regularly in my kitchen and it’s become such a staple. The flavor is rich, well-balanced and bold enough to use in dressings, marinades and for finishing dishes while not too overpowering. It’s perfect for sautéing vegetables, drizzling over salads and dipping with bread. I appreciate that it’s first cold pressed which helps preserve more nutrients and polyphenols compared to refined oils. I can taste a freshness that you don’t always get with other everyday olive oils at this price point. The bottle design is functional and pours cleanly without too much dripping. Overall, this olive oil delivers great taste, quality and versatility. Whether you’re cooking or using it raw, it’s a reliable choice that I’ll continue to buy.

I have been using Pompeian Smooth Extra Virgin Olive Oil Contains Polyphenols First Cold Pressed for years and it stands out as one of the most reliable and tasty options I keep coming back to especially for everyday family cooking. This oil is truly versatile and consistently good. It works perfectly for sauteing roasting grilling drizzling on salads dipping with bread or even finishing dishes. The smooth mild flavor profile has a nice fruity note with just enough peppery kick from the polyphenols without being overly bitter or harsh like some stronger EVOOs can get. It holds up well under medium high heat for cooking (first cold pressed means quality extraction) and it never leaves that burnt or off taste you sometimes get with cheaper oils. When I serve food to family or friends using this one I never worry about the flavor letting me down it always delivers a clean delicious result. What I love most is the reliability. I have picked up different brands from HomeGoods TJ Maxx Marshalls and discount spots over the years and the quality varies so much some bottles taste flat rancid or just meh even if labeled EVOO. Pompeian Smooth stays solid batch after batch with that fresh good taste and the polyphenols add a bonus for health benefits without changing the everyday usability.

I've been ordering this for years. The taste is great. You get that familiar burning at the back of your throat which lasts about 7 seconds. I use it on everything as my ONLY oil. It also is a great snack: pour a bit in a small bowl with salt and oregano. Dip your bread into it and enjoy. The price is very reasonable, at $22-23 currently. It had jumped to $33+ at one point and I just waited for a drop. When I first started using it, the price was around $18.

Great taste! I will be buying this product again! The quality and price were excellent!

Full-Bodied Flavor That Elevates Everyday Cooking Pompeian’s Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been my go-to choice for years, and it continues to deliver excellent flavor and consistency at a fair price. This is a first cold-pressed oil, meaning it retains the natural antioxidants and polyphenols that give it both health benefits and that peppery, full-bodied taste you want in a true EVOO. The “Robust” profile lives up to its name — rich, slightly spicy, and perfect for drizzling on salads, dipping bread, or finishing pasta dishes. It also holds up beautifully for sautéing and roasting when kept below smoking temperature (around 395°F). The aroma is clean and fruity, not harsh or oily. The large 68 oz bottle is practical for frequent cooks — it pours smoothly, seals tightly, and stores easily. I appreciate that Pompeian is farmer-owned and non-GMO certified, with clear sourcing and a consistent flavor batch to batch. It’s a trustworthy everyday oil that tastes much more expensive than it is. Bottom line: Pompeian’s Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil delivers authentic, cold-pressed richness and Mediterranean depth at a grocery-store price. Excellent for anyone who values real olive flavor and a heart-healthy pantry staple.

Nice shelf life. Mild flavor. Use it for multi-purpose cooking. Fairly high burn point. Moderately priced considering it’s delivered.
