 Bottled Health and Sunshine!!!Dec 17, 2009
By Bill Staby
"Ski Bump"
My wife and I have tried a lot of olive oils and this Olio Taibi Biancolilla is just to die for! It has a very luxurious mouth feel and, like a fine wine, you find yourself discovering and remembering different notes of flavor long afterwards. One of life's true small pleasures!

getting lostApr 07, 2010
By Monica Nicoli
"Nicki"
Have you ever thought you could get lost in a dip of extra virgin olive oil? Try the Taibi Biancolilla and feel the experience. The first time I tasted it I had to ask my guest to repeat what he was talking about because I was completely "lost" in the sweetness, fruitiness, delicateness of this wonderful oil. I would dearly recommend you try also the Taibi Nocellara extra vergin olive oil at the same time. They are siblings, they both come from Sicily and they are so different! The Nocellara with his strong erupting personality is volcanic.
The Biancolilla, like its name, is a beautiful poem.

Excellent single source cold pressed EVOODec 11, 2009
By Michael G. Lustig
I've tried a lot of high-end olive oils and Monocultivar Biancolilla is near the top of my list. This oil has a true pedigree because it comes from a single Sicilian organic farm and is cold-processed which differentiates it from other olive oils. Most other olive oils are blends consisting of cheaper tasteless oils from places like Spain or Portugal.
Store brand oils are virtually tasteless but are fine for cooking. Others disagree and would use this liquid gold in everything. They're probably the same people who cook with $50 bottles of wine. Olive oil in general is not so great for frying since it has a low smoke point and burns easily. Extra virgin olive oil smokes/burns at even a lower temperature. In other words, this is an oil best used cold. It's great for dipping bread, salads and as a finishing oil on soups or vegetables.
This oil has a little bite and is packed with flavor. It compliments, as oposed to overpowers, your food. I recommend it without reservation.
The farm where this oil comes from is relatively small and produces under 10,000 liter of oil/year. This accounts for the high price. If you want a less expensive oil that is almost as good try Olio Carli Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 500ml Bottle (0.5 liter) by [...]. A quick web search and you can find 3 liters for thirty dollars and free shipping. I can't post the link but if you find their website add a slash offer to the address.
One last thing: Extra virgin olive oil by definition has to contain a minimum percentage of EVOO. The rest is just regular olive oil. Monocultivar Biancolilla use a much higher percentage of EVOO than is required resulting in a superior product. Keep in mind that Italy produces twice the amount of olive oil than they have trees for because they import and package cheaper oils -- technically they are Made in Italy.

 Good EVOO, but may not be outstanding for the priceJan 02, 2011
By Z, love to shop
The oil is good, and I appreciate the fact the olivers are from a single source, however, I don't see it as header and shoulder above other organic extra virgin oliver oil. I'm not an expert in EVOO, but I compared this item with organic EVOO from Costco tasting side by side and I really can't tell the difference, or feel that this product is any better. However, the Costco version is $19.99 for 2 huge bottles.

Absolutely Fabulous!!!!!Nov 09, 2010
By cherylsim
Like the title says, this olive oil is absolutely fabulous!!!!! By far the best I've ever tasted. We used it for dipping bread and no one at the table could get enough, including my kids. We almost forgot about the rest of the dinner!!
