Worth the money

I always wondered about the really expensive bottles of extra virgin olive oil when I would be at the grocery store.  I wondered if it REALLY made a difference.  When I was cooking 5-6 nights a week while in Mexico, I went through a ton of EVOO so I never even thought about buying the expensive stuff.  I always bought the Walmart brand or Kroger brand of EVOO.

Well, I finally decided to see if it was worth it to buy the expensive stuff.  I don't cook as often as I would like anymore so I wanted to just try ONE bottle. 

The difference was immediate and HUGE!  I'm never going back to the base level of olive oil.  Many recipes taste very different -- just so full of flavor, especially sauted vegetables and my homemade pesto. 

I've included a picture of the bottle that I chose -- I'm already on my 3rd bottle.  So much for just one......  Maybe one day I'll get an even more expensive bottle!  I don't remember exactly the price of this brand, but it was around $15 for 12-14 ounces or so.... This bottle is the bigger size of 25 oz.
