If olive oil is like vintage wine to your palate,, this would be an incredible indulgence. It would also make for an amazing gift for anyone who has everything. Or, for someone who loves food.
It’s probably the most fresh tasting olive oil I have ever sampled, and I have sampled some fairly refined olive oils.
The slight grassy flavor, gentle peppery notes, and light green color make it stand apart from other high end product that often taste very peppery, to me.
This is the kind of olive oil that you plan a dish around so that it can shine. Of course, it will enhance a lot of other fresh flavors, but, even tasted on its own, it’s quite stellar.
It’s only for finishing, dipping bread, or sharing with very special friends and family.
Obviously, it’s costly. This is why it’s not something you would pour on regularly but save to savor.

This olive oil has a pleasant clean taste, but I found it to be a bit mild for a finishing oil. It's not particularly fruity or spicy/peppery, either of which I would expect from a finishing oil.
It has a bright golden color, and works well with lots of other flavors since it doesn't have a strong flavor note itself.
But because it is a bit bland, I find the price to be fairly high.
Usually when I buy high end olive oils, I choose a finishing oil with a much stronger flavor, and color.

I am not shy about splurging on quality extra virgin olive oil, but I’m going to say that this is the best tasting of all the pricey olive oils I’ve tried.Some of the higher-end EVOOs can have quite a bit of bite that can be perceived as bitterness due to higher phenolic compounds, which takes away from enjoying the flavor. This finishing EVOO by Ode to Sun has a slight bite, but it doesn’t distract from the wonderful fresh, green, grassy flavor in smooth balance. I regularly use a high-end organic EVOO from Greece, and there was no contest when comparing side by side.I poured some oil into a dish with a sprinkle of Mediterranean seasoning, and it was incredibly delicious when dripped onto freshly baked bread made with imported Italian Artisan flour. My husband commented, “I could eat this forever.”If you’re like me, always in search of the very best, you owe it to yourself to try this deservingly award-winning, top-end EVOO that’s absolutely worth its price for every savory ounce.

I’ve been really learning about different olive oils in the last year or so. I wasn’t even aware that there are different grades or levels of olive oil. Now I do.
I equate the levels of olive oil with a fine whisky or alcohol. There is the cheap alcohol that you couldn’t drink straight but you might mask in a mixed drink. Same with olive oil. You’ll find cheap brands on grocery store shelves that you can cook with but you wouldn’t want to make a salad dressing with or finish a good dish with.
Then there is a finer grade of olive oil. This is better as an every day olive oil. Not one you’d be ashamed to serve your guests but certainly not top tier.
The third level is top tier. This will be an imported olive oil that you can be proud to serve. Finally, in this tier, is a finishing olive oil.
A finishing olive oil is so special with its peppery flavor and olive green color that you drizzle over a dish after it’s finished cooking. Drizzle over a cooked steak, pasta, even over a pizza to round out the flavor of the dish and give it depth.
This oil is delicious and I really feel special serving it to my guests and myself. Treat yourself to this special high quality finishing olive oil.

If you're seriously considering buying this Ode to Sun EVOO (Number 1 / Finishing), you're hoping and wondering if the quality justifies the price. I don't know that any review can give you that answer, but I was personally VERY impressed with every aspect of this olive oil.
The presentation is impressive. It exudes quality. The olive oil itself is slightly viscous and quite clear. The flavor is extremely mild, delicate; reminiscent of green olives, but not tangy or bitter.
I plan to drizzle this on my salads, pizzas, omelettes, hummus, roasted chickens, etc., but I also want to make a small jar of homemade mayonnaise, if I can justify using that much to make mayo!
