Customer Rating:
Summary: Not as good as their pure virgin olive oil.
Comment: Does not store as well as their virgin olive oil. I have and use both and this product develops an aftertaste rather quickly when stored. Compared to the extra virgin olive oil they sell this product is not as tasty. Would recommend you spend the extra bucks and get the pure stuff. Problem with cans being bent up, but seller worked to correct that so there's no complaint other than use of poor shipper.

Summary: It's edible, but I would only use it for deep frying....if at all.
Comment: Olive oil is a slippery subject....
There are LOTS of different types of olive oil, usually differentiated by:
Extraction method
Pressing (1st, 2nd, 3rd...)
Cold pressed
Hot pressed
Solvent extraction
Pomace is what's left of the pressed olives after the final pressing.
Pomace is the lowest grade of oil which is edible (and some pomace is inedible.)
Edible doesn't mean tasty. The vast majority of knowledgeable olive oil consumers wouldn't consider eating pomace grade. Generally the worst of the plain olive oils has considerably more flavor than pomace.
Where you aren't looking for flavor, then pomace is possibly appropriate, but it should be much cheaper than plain olive oil. It is appropriately used as you would sunflower, corn or other neutral flavored cooking oils.
Many in the USA like extra-virgin oil, but most Europeans prefer virgin, as it has more of the olive bitterness. Most in the USA have palates which are trained to dislike anything bitter. Most in the USA have been raised on vegetable oils which have little or no flavor (the advertising boasts about this fact.)
If you want an oil which won't affect the flavor of your food much, then this is an o.k. product.
