I buy a small bottle of unknown brands first and don't buy italian olive oil [0].

I mainly buy local Californian EVOO as it is high quality and reasonable priced.

I too buy direct from Californian farms as you know the press date which is generally more fresh, you can interact with the owners, it goes through far less travel than something from Europe and you're essentially guaranteed a high quality oil.
