This is a good olive oil. However the recently reviewed ALDI Carlini Extra Virgin Olive Oil is just as good or better for less money.
Trader Joe’s California Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil is not as buttery as either the Carlini Extra Virgin Olive Oil from ALDI or my favorite olive oil, Trader Joe’s Spanish Extra Virgin (also less pricey per ml). There’s not much of an olive taste to this oil as compared with the other two oils. The color and viscosity are about the same as the TJ Spanish oil.
The thing that distinguishes this oil from the other two is some bitterness on the tongue after a few seconds. Neither of the other two oils has that characteristic.
Price $5.99 (500 ml) Calories 120 per Tbsp (15 ml)

ALDI – Carlini
EVOO
This is surprisingly one of the best olive oils I’ve tried. It’s about the equal of my favorite, Trader Joe’s Spanish extra virgin olive oil.

Pretty bottle. Pretty good. Pretty expensive (relatively).

Can’t call it a top 10 list like our wine review list, because it’s easier to drink a bottle of wine than a bottle of olive oil.

Trader Joe just can’t be happy having one very good olive oil, he has to confuse us with a second one.

Trader Joe’s President’s Reserve Extra Virgin Olive Oil is: Italian, cold pressed, good looking, good tasting, the right price and is surprisingly difficult to photograph. The only thing that could make it more perfect would be a picture of Sophia Loren.
