Use Zoe for baking
Zoe is made from big fat olives that are meaty and buttery tasting. When my husband and I went to the Pennsylvania Macaroni Company in Pittsburgh, PA, the olive oil buyer guided us through our first olive oil purchase. She had us eat the olives that went into different kinds of olive oil and then pick the olives we liked best. Our first purchase of Zoe was the result. It...

Tried it in many uses, but didn't like it
I bought this olive oil since it was organic, and went through 6 (750 mL) cans on a subscription, but in the end I decided to stop buying it. I bought this oil to be my basic mid-priced olive oil primarily for sauteing. I like all sorts of olive oil -- from soft and buttery to peppery and green.

Tried it in many uses, but didn't like it, May 2, 2009
This review is from: Zoe Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 25.5-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
I bought this olive oil since it was organic, and went through 6 (750 mL) cans on a subscription, but in the end I decided to stop buying it. I bought this oil to be my basic mid-priced olive oil primarily for sauteing. I like all sorts of olive oil -- from soft and buttery to peppery and green. This oil has a heavy woody scent, not as fragrant as other good EVOO in this price range. Sampled uncooked, the oil has mild initial taste, not much olive flavor at all, but not unpleasant, but what I didn't like is its harsh after-taste. It was not good in salad dressings. With other flavorings, the harshness is muted but still remains. In cooked dishes any olive oil flavor mostly disappears. In the same price range, I've had better luck with obscure Spanish or Greek 1 L cans of EVOO from the supermarket.

Use Zoe for baking, February 21, 2010
This review is from: Zoe Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 25.5-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
Zoe is made from big fat olives that are meaty and buttery tasting. When my husband and I went to the Pennsylvania Macaroni Company in Pittsburgh, PA, the olive oil buyer guided us through our first olive oil purchase. She had us eat the olives that went into different kinds of olive oil and then pick the olives we liked best. Our first purchase of Zoe was the result. It is an olive oil with a distinctly buttery taste. I use it in baking cakes whenever oil or melted butter is called for. It tastes great! Absolutely great! Plus, it's heart healthy, which butter is not. Sigh. Other olives, particularly Italian olives that are made into olive oil are very peppery. Hence, their oil is peppery. This might be what other people are talking about when they say they don't like Zoe. Zoe is not a bit peppery. So please, you must try for yourself in this case. It is not a good idea to take anyone else's product review for olive oil to heart. (a pun!) You must decide what you like in an olive oil and buy according. Also, I want to mention that the buttery taste stays there even through a saute. We bought different types of Italian olive oil in smaller bottles that same first time at the Pennsylvania Macaroni Company, and then we came home and made fried eggs with all of them. In that venue the taste of the olive oils really came through and Zoe kept that buttery taste. Good eating!

Great all purpose olive oil., April 21, 2009
This review is from: Zoe Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 25.5-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
I have tried a lot of olive oils in the past, and being on a tight budget, I try to stay in the lower price range category. As you can imagine, I've ended up with some really lacking oils. Not so with Zoe Organic! This olive oil is light and mild with an excellent clean taste that doesn't overpower the flavor of what you're cooking (I like that in an olive oil!). Perfect for salad dressings, sauteing, baking, etc. There's nothing I wont use this oil in. Another plus is the size, no more trying to find a cabinet space tall enough for a tall bottle of oil. I've finally found an affordable winner!

Almost perfect organic olive oil, March 28, 2009
This review is from: Zoe Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 25.5-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
The price and quality of this product are both fantastic. I love that the dark, tin container greatly protects the taste and integrity of the oil (versus the typical glass bottle). However, there is an inherent problem with the pouring spout. It is plastic and very short. This leads to oil dripping on the top during usage, which is both wasteful and messy. If the manufacturer would alter that one component, this would be the perfect organic olive oil.

Fair Deal, September 14, 2009
This review is from: Zoe Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 25.5-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
I am getting this regularly via subscribe and save option and I must say this is a pretty good deal given the quality of the product. Although the taste difference in organic vs regular Zoe oils is subtle, I like to believe going organic is good for me. If you know much about or have used olive oils regularly, you'd love the taste of this particular extra virgin olive oil. Apart from being healthy this is full flavored - real extra virgin and not diluted like many store brands- and comes in a can to protect the oil from exposure to direct sun light. Go for it, with free shipping, you can't go wrong.

Zoe Organic EVOO, October 18, 2009
This review is from: Zoe Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 25.5-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
Love this stuff. I use it for everything from cooking, to salad dressings, to dipping my (gluten-free) bread in. It has a rich texture. I love that it is full-bodies, yet not overpowering. For the price, it is an excellent oil for being organic. I buy it through subscribe and save. I will continue to buy it. Not only is it good flavored, and a good value, but I can easily fit it on my shelf.

Good size, good package, September 27, 2009
This review is from: Zoe Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 25.5-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
If Amazon does not smash it with their lame packing ideas, this is good stuff. If you would rather support some good American olive growers, look up BARI in California. I alternate between them both.

Zoe Organic EVOO, November 29, 2008
This review is from: Zoe Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 25.5-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
I love the size of these cans because one can easily decants into my glass bottle for daily use. The remaining can stores the oil better than if it were in a bottle so it works out nicely. I recommend it!
