Changed Taste
I have been buying this product for a very long time and it had a good quality/taste especially for its price. But unfortunately, the last one I received has an extremely bitter taste which made it unuseful for us. Probably Tesco changed their supplier for this product, I don’t think that I will buy it again.
I also get the top flying off, but the oil is fine
I also get the top flying off, but the oil is fine, especially for the price. I agree that a darker coloured bottle would be better, and prefereably a bit of a heavier weight bottle, so you don't feel as if you're squeezing the flying top off, which is a bit disconcerting. If you pick it up very gingerly, the top doesn't fly off. Try using two hands!!!
good olive oil for the price.
used for salad dressing. also pizza base oiling. no problem with the top. screw type plastic others com[plained about top popping off, no issues here. taste is a bit peppery for olive oil but okay i guess.
All rounder
I use this for all grilling and stir frying. It is consistently good and resistant to burning. Also excellent for salad dressings.
Great product
A good quality oil with sufficiently more flavour than the standard oil to make a real difference however you use it.
Plastic
In plastic bottle. doesn't really combine with Virgin Olive Oil very well
Beware the flying top.
The oil is fine. The bottle not so. When the kitchen hots up with the cooking, the bottle inflates slightly, so that when you go to pick it up (once its been previously opened), the top flies off. This is a regular occurrence. However, the oil is good value, and I keep buying it.
Good value Olive Oil

Ideal for cooking and at a good all year round price. Not sure if I would use it a a salad dressing, but for fresh mayonaise its ok if you can get good eggs ?
Tesco Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Review from tesco.com
This olive oil has a slightly more stronger taste/flavour to the usual Virgin Olive oil you can buy and much darker colour, Lovely with salads with Balsamic vinegar and use instead of butter for baked potatoes and butter substitute for baking
good product, poor packaging
Review from tesco.com
The oil is of good quality and significantly cheaper than branded alternatives. There are two problems, however with he packaging: A dark plastic bottle would prolong the life of the oil, which is affected by sunlight. Once the bottle has been opened the contents are secured by the cap on the top. this is not securely fitted to the bottle and tends to fly off when the bottle is handled.
