I now only use California Olive Ranch. It is first cold press and also has the harvest date on the back. Olive oil can be tricky if it is processed/packaged abroad. Sometimes it has various oils and it may not be 100% pure.

i highly recommend reading the book ""EXTRA VIRGINITY- The Sublime and Scandalous World Of Olive Oil.""

I get confused when buying olive oil. The last bottle I bought was the Colavita brand.
