It’s not worth the suffering to do a lot of experimentation, I typically stick with the first oil that doesn’t give me issues. In the UK I buy Il Casolare from Ocado − 1 L for £16. In the US, I go to so many different places I don’t have a go to, so I stick with simple heuristics for quality like single origin / cold pressed / noted date of harvest—I typically buy the cheapest in the store that meets any of these conditions—and haven’t had any issues to date. Top of mind I can only recall one national US brand California Olive Ranch, but only their single origin oils is okay, I was hopeful about their 100% California blend but it also gave me preflux.
