Customer Reviews
I ordered all the 5 types of mono cultivars as well as the blended extra virgin olive oil. I ordered the mono cultivar 'barnea' and blended olive oil first, loved it. Then ordered the remaining 4 monocultivars.
I compared these blends against each other as well as against foreign brands such Colavita, Figaro and Borges extra virgin olive oil.
No doubt the Jaypore olive oil is of a far superior quality and has a lovely kick and is greenish golden unlike the foreign oils.
I believe that it's highly possible that the foreign olive oils have been subject to either 1) adulteration (olive oil mafia) and/or 2) Are old, as many have been sitting on the shelf for long before they are imported.
When I tried mixing the jaypore extra virgin olive oil with balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper to make a salad dressing, the salad dressing turned to be many times viscous and with a fantastic honey like taste compared to the foreign oils.
Based on this alone, I think their more expensive price is justified. I will be their customer henceforth.
However they need to improve a few things:
1) Dispatch: I needed to chase them down with repeated reminders for them to dispatch it.
2) It's difficult to open the bottle. When you try to turn the cap, the ring to which it is attached, also turns. So you need to cut open the ring before opening the cap. That has led to injures.
3) They stick the mono cultivars label on the plastic wrapper around the cap. So if you forget to restick the label somewhere on the bottle, you won't know which cultivars you are using. This is especially true in my case where I bought most of the cultivars at one time to test.
4) The bottle is coated in some green film and not actually green. This comes off when you wash the bottle. However this only affects if you are trying to repurpose these bottles for sauces etc on the table that need dark colored glass to extend their shelf life.
So these are the pros and cons. Love the oil but the packaging and dispatch could definitely use some improvements.
