Kirkland Signature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
A high-quality 'daily driver' that consistently passes purity tests for being 100% authentic EVOO, a rarity at this price point. However, it misses the Gold tier due to the lack of specific harvest dates and polyphenol counts, as well as the use of a 2L plastic bottle which can lead to faster oxidation and potential chemical leaching compared to dark glass or tin.
