OliveOilGuide
Extra virgin, decoded
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Two-thirds of imported “extra virgin” oils fail the standard. Learn to read any bottle—harvest, grade, polyphenols—with sources, from a guide that sells no oil.
Most people can't tell good olive oil from bad — and the reports show it. The UC Davis Olive Center found roughly two-thirds of imported “extra virgin” oils on US shelves failed the extra-virgin standard, usually from age, heat, light, or a lower grade hidden behind marketing words.
OliveOilGuide is the neutral pocket reference that teaches you to read any olive-oil bottle: cultivar, grade, harvest, polyphenols, the smoke-point truth, and what to pair it with. No bottle in hand required, and we don't sell oil — so the guidance is yours to trust.
READ ANY LABEL
A guided “Read a label” tool walks you through harvest date, dark glass, real origin, the extra-virgin grade, and the red flags (“pure”, “light”, “pomace”, suspiciously cheap). It tallies the answers into a plain-English Quality Read — and it works on any bottle, anywhere, offline.
FORTY-PLUS CULTIVARS
From Picual and Koroneiki to Arbequina and Taggiasca — each with nose, palate, intensity, a typical polyphenol band, food pairings, and how to use it (finishing vs cooking). Browse by region, cultivar, intensity, or high-polyphenol.
THE SMOKE-POINT MYTH, SETTLED
You can cook with extra virgin. We lay out the peer-reviewed truth — oxidative stability and fat profile matter far more than smoke point — instead of the internet's panic.
ASK THE OIL SPECIALIST
Which cultivar for grilled fish? Is that 18-month bottle still worth using? What does “high polyphenol” really mean? Ask in plain language and get a specific, sourced answer.
WHY TRUST IT
Every claim is traced to the International Olive Council, the UC Davis Olive Center, or EU food regulation. We recommend no brand and sell no oil — that lack of conflict is the whole point.
