if your talking about one for mainly cooking ........
the Berio stuff that is sold in many stores is excellent for the $.
I think a 3 ltr at CostCo is around $18.
We use that as our "everyday" EVOO, cooking, salad dressing etc.
The TJs and Colvita mentioned above are no slouches nuther.
Then we have a snobby bottle for bread or if we're cooking something very light, IE fish.
That stuff is around $18/ltr. More than that and we don't think it matters.
I would strongly disagree about the use of Italian OO only.
The Spaniards, Australians and even Californians make some mighty nice OO.
Here in NY, at a local "chain" called Fairway, they sell their own bulk bottled choices that cover the major producers. They're all around $15-20 ltr, not the everyday price range for sre, and they are all quite good.
Like wine, there are plenty good ones for decent prices.
We've been drinking Spanish this week, none are over $20 in the store.
