When I bought this 2 pack of Colavita 101 oz tins, I assumed I would be getting 100 EVO Italian oil, as is printed on the smaller 34 oz tins Amazon also sells. Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 34-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) I had bought the smaller size in my local supermarket, LOVED the peppery flavor, and thought, "I'm diggin this oil so much, I'll save money and get the larger sizes from Amazon, and laugh every time I see the outrageous prices I would be shelling out at my local market". Wouldn't you know, the larger size is a BLEND--says it so on one of the sides. A blend of Italian, Spanish and Greek olives. Goodbye peppery flavor! This oil is bland compared to the smaller Colavita. A good oil, nonetheless, better for dressings than dipping---but nowhere near the character of Colavita's 34 ozzer

I'm a foodie and have compared many olive oils. This is the best tasting and rich olive oil for a very reasonable price.

The description refers to the item shown in picture, the Colavita EVO in the green tin. This is the same olive oil sold in many shops and supermarkets (and in Italy, by the way) and made exclusively of Italian olives. However I've been shipped a different item, a blend of Italian, Greek, and Spanish olives, sold in a white tin. Same brand but not the item described, and that I intended to buy.

This was a great transaction, no problems and I got my order quickly. Thanks
