Review of L' Olivier olive oil Infused with Porcini & Truffle 8.3oz

I thought I was getting a good deal by purchasing A L'Olivier's olive oil infused with porcini and truffle instead of buying one of the other pricier options.The company seemed to have a good reputation and lots of people were raving about "Made in France" (which I don't really care since I'm not a francophile, Made in Italy for me is just as good, or probably even better).When I first received this item I thought I got an old, stale one by mistake - there was no truffle or porcini flavor whatsoever.Amazon customer service was super responsive and shipped me another one but when I opened it to try it out, I was similarly disappointed.
Don't buy this oil.You'd end up saving money by getting a pricier, better truffle-infused oil because you'll be using a lot less of that oil for the same amount of flavor.But then, that would mean I had to use a lot of this oil to get a truffle or porcini flavor which was impossible because it had none.

Review of Olive Oil Spreads by A L'Olivier - Garlic and Herb (3.5 ounce) by igourmet.com

This is a very delicious spread, perfect on toast, ciabatta, and especially whole wheat bread rolls. It is pretty expensive, but like many of the products from iGourmet, I feel that it is worth it. If you are looking for a savory treat for yourself or a friend, this is a great choice. My whole family really enjoys the Tuscan flavor of this spread and we will be trying some of the other flavors of Olive Oil spreads soon. I feel like this is a great healthy indulgence!

Product Description:
Introduced last year in Europe to great acclaim, France's famed olive oil specialists have created olive oil that is as spreadable as butter. This patented innovation combines the advantages of healthy Mediterranean diet value of olive oil with the convenience of a butter tub. They are 100% natural and contain no additives, colorants, preservatives, or chemicals. Rich in mono unsaturated fat acids (69%) and with less than 25% of saturated fat, they fit nutritionists' recommendations for proper fat intake. Thanks to the solid texture, achieved through the addition of vegetable monoglycerides, they can replace butter or margarine in cooking. These compact spreads come in convenient tartiner style flat plastic containers.


They are shelf stable, but are best kept in the butter case or refrigerator to maintain a solid texture. Serve them on breakfast bagels or anywhere else you use butter or margarine - in an omelette, toasted on crostini, spread on sandwiches instead of mayo, and for sautéeing or frying meats, fish, or vegetables. Available in four delicious flavors: Basil, Garlic & Herb, Lemon and Natural.

Review of Olive Oil With Fresh Basil By A L'Olivier (France)

Very hard to find in stores in USA. Used to be sold in Occitane stores all over, that is finished. Very few fancy food stores carry this oil (Citarella in NYC for expl). This olive oil is so good, all of them with herbs, lemon, basil etc etc.. No cholesterol so good for salad, pastas, fishes, etc.. Unfortunately on the web the distributors send this expensive product in several boxes, each time the price of shipping double price. In NYC you find the product at Citarella for about $14. If you use the web the price is more than 100% with shipping. The product is superb, but I think the exclusif distribution take advantage of their position, I advise you not to buy on the web. Too expensive!
