I guess it's becoming really hard to find a bottle of genuine extra virgin olive oil.
Buy Greek extra virgin. Guaranteed flavor and quality. Italians buy it to raise the quality of theirs. In Greece 80% of virgin oil production is extra virgin. In Italy it's less than 50%, while in Spain less than 20%.
Here's one for example: http://www.amazon.com/Iliada-Extra-Virgin-Olive-Liter/dp/B00...
Greek olive oil is considered the best in the world and doesn't suffer from Mafia infiltration which is a huge problem in Italy [1] [2] [3].
Here is some good quality Greek olive oil available in US, reasonably priced, that you can buy without fear of adulteration or other shadiness:

The Greek extra virgin olive oil sold at Trader Joe's is also very good.
Avoid the - Whole Foods & 365 branded - Greek EVOO at Whole Foods: it was rancid every single time I've tried it.
