RIP: Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Olive

Brand: Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil "Rich Taste"
Bought: July.
Lasted: 10 weeks
Flavor: Pretty decent flavor--worked nicely on my popcorn. I would buy it again.


And in honor of my record-setting Olive Oil intake this year, I found the following stats at The Washington Post:

  •  99% of the olive oil consumed by Americans comes from other countries.
  • 70 million liters of olive oil were consumed by Americans in 2009.
  • $700 million was spent by Americans on olive oil, 60% of which was labeled "extra-virgin."
  • 8% more olive oil was consumed in the United States in 2009 than in 2008.
  • 3rd largest consumer of olive oil in the world is the United States.
    Statistics: North American Olive Oil Association
