As a member of BzzAgent, I received a sample of Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil to try. We use quite a bit of olive oil in our house, substituting it for butter and other oils whenever a recipe allows. Honestly, I cannot think of the last time I have used a different oil in a recipe. Shows you how much we use olive oil!

We gave Filippo Berio a whirl in a couple of recipes this week, particularly our Watermelon Cucumber Salad and White Bean Bruschetta. We found the olive oil to be easy to use and both recipes came out great!

I did give the olive oil a little taste on its own. I found it smooth with a mild nutty flavor. However, I kept getting a bitterness on the end. The bitterness was too overwhelming. I do not think I would use this oil for bread dipping, even with some herbs added. I did not notice this bitterness in any of the dishes we made with the oil.

Overall, I felt that the oil was versatile and good for cooking or making salad dressings. If you are looking for an affordable EVOO, this may be an option for you!
