Racconto Extra Virgin Olive Oil (17 fl. oz.)
Item Purchased: Racconto Extra Virgin Olive Oil (17 fl. oz.)
Location Purchased: Jewel / 1224 S. Wabash Ave. / Chicago, IL
Price: $6.49 + tax
Review: Buying olive oil is a lot like buying wine. It comes in all kinds of crazy bottles and vintages. From 8 oz. up to quarts of the stuff, olive oil can range from a couple of bucks to almost a hundred on the same shelf. Of course, my local Jewel grocery store is no gourmet shop and I can't much tell the difference when I fry up an egg or use it to boil some rice, so naturally, I reach for the most affordable bottle of the stuff. I mean, you don't drink olive oil from a glass or a bottle, so what is the big deal. Are their olive oil sommelier out there somewhere? The Racconto brand of olive oil was affordable and slippery like all good oils should be. So, I bought it. End of story.
