Desert Miracle Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, High Polyphenol, 5 L Can

I despise olive oil. Or at least I thought I did. Now I don't think I've ever had it before. My husband has a problem with ear wax and has had to go to the doctor to have it removed many times. His doctor told me to buy him olive oil and to look for cold pressed and the word "polyphenols." I found this, the price wasn't bad, and tonight we got it. Out of curiosity I gave it a sniff, ready for that offending hit of 'petroleum' that usually assaults my nose when I go anywhere near olive oil. But this barely had a smell at all. The smell that was there was faint, but pleasant. I'd read a bunch of the descriptive reviews before buying it and nothing anyone said was even vaguely familiar to what I knew as olive oil. "Slightly fruity..." "peppery aftertaste..." My nose told me this was a good thing, so I poured some into a spoon. I stood there sniffing it suspiciously for too long, then geared up, and shoved it in my mouth. Oh. My. Dear. Lord. Soft. A slight fruit flavor up front. And I'll be damned. There was that 'peppery aftertaste' that I have NEVER tasted before. This stuff is ridiculously delicious! Suddenly it made sense that the Mediterranean people have dipped their bread in this stuff for thousands of years. Up until now I thought it was a flavor you had to be raised on - like vegemite. If they sold this stuff by the half gallon, I'd buy it right now. I honestly don't believe that ANYTHING labeled 'olive oil' on the American grocery store shelves is olive oil at all. I'm pushing sixty and this is the first time I've tasted this light, lovely flavor in my life. I'm convinced that we're being fed vegetable oil with some fake, petrol-based flavoring to fool us into thinking this is what olive oil is supposed to be. Lies! If there are any Italians or Greeks out there, let us know if American 'olive oil' is correct or not. I suspect not. Yes, I'll cook with this. I'll make salad dressing and happily dip my bread in THIS. My daughter is staying with us and she's a fellow olive oil hater. You can bet I forced a spoonful down her throat. To her shock, she loves it, too. And she's never tasted anything this wonderful in HER life. Fellow Americans, if you hate olive oil, know that we've been bamboozled! You have GOT to try this. Just get one little bottle and really see what you've been missing. Crap. It just dawned on me that I'm supposed to put this lovely golden fluid in my husbands ears... I love him, but it does somehow feel like an insult to the oil.

This DESERT MIRACLE Extra Virgin Olive Oil is absolutely delicious! I ordered this after trying Dr. Gundry’s EVOO for the 21 days that it took me to go through the 8.5 oz. bottle taking 2 tbs. daily. Dr. Gundry’s is delicious as well but it’s too pricey. I want to do this long term, so I had to consider the pricing. I just started using this one and I am pleasantly pleased with it. It tastes really good, good enough to drink shots of it or dipping toast into it. When I drink a tbs. of it on its own, it coats my throat, lubricating it and relieving the irritation from allergies. As a result I am sleeping much better. Helps with bowel movements, my knuckles don’t hurt. My eyes aren’t as dry from dry eye syndrome. And I can’t wait to see what my cholesterol levels and triglycerides will look like when I get my next blood work done. I highly recommend this oil. 😎 And this goes without saying, drink lots of water, stay hydrated. ***The only warning is that if you’re taking blood thinners or blood pressure medication, the oil interacts with those meds, you should consult with your doctor before taking olive oil.*** UPDATE 05/01/26: I just got my new blood work done and my LDL (bad cholesterol) went down 18 points. Yay 😁. This means that by taking 3-4 tbs. of EVOO for a week shy of 3 months, my cholesterol levels improved. Triglycerides improved by 15 points and total cholesterol improved by 22 points, HDL (good cholesterol), however, improved by just 1 point. I am still taking the lowest dose of Atorvastatin but with improved numbers because of the EVOO. I will definitely be continuing to take this product as medicine for my health. I hope this review helps someone. ❤️

Favorite oil for dipping, so buttery and delicious. Branding and bottle could be better if I’m being honest.

Tastes delicious and comes in useful as a stand-alone olive oil for dipping bread and other appetizers. Could be used as your go-to olive for all needs in the kitchen and about 30-40% less expensive than the oils the health sites try to sell you.

We enjoy the taste of this olive oil as we mix it with other fresh herbs and use it for dipping with a crusty bread. This was a good find. The quality is very good not overpowering, clean oil, and a good value. It doesn’t drip after being poured like some do. I would definitely purchase this again.

What can I possibly say about this? It’s olive oil — but not just any olive oil. This is the kind of olive oil that looks like it went to private school, summers in the south of France, and has strong opinions about architecture. The bottle is so fancy I feel like I should greet it formally. I opened the package and immediately felt underdressed. This olive oil has a better skincare routine than I do. It’s high polyphenol, which sounds like something a doctor would mention while wearing a lab coat and nodding seriously. I don’t know what polyphenols are, but apparently this oil has a lot of them, and that makes me feel healthier just by looking at it. Pouring it feels like a ceremony. I’m not cooking — I’m performing. Suddenly I’m drizzling it over things I’ve never drizzled before. Bread? Sure. Tomatoes? Why not. My husband’s sandwich? He didn’t ask for it, but he’s getting it anyway. This olive oil demands respect. Does it taste good? Yes. Does it make me feel like I should be hosting a cooking show called “Donna’s Mediterranean Adventure”? Also yes. Honestly, this olive oil is so classy it should come with a tiny tuxedo. Conclusion: It’s fancy, delicious, and makes me feel like I have my life together. If you want olive oil that makes you feel like you’re doing something important — this is it.

Very good. Nice taste with the peppery finish. Love it

I have been on this oil since December 2025, I take a tablespoon daily and have noticed a huge change in my metabolism, I sleep better and my inflammation in my joints has eased up, it has a sweet taste but not overwhelming, when it hits the back of your throat you get a pepper taste, my cardiologist just ran test on my valve that was repaired in 2013, he said everything looks good and your valve is doing what it supposed to do, so just keep doing what you have been doing, I contribute that to this wonderful natural olive oil, I will continue to take this for the rest of my lifetime and by the way it seem to give me extra energy, do yourself a favor and get this Desert Miracle, you won’t regret it!

Great quality

Une bonne excellente huile d’olive. Nous l’adorons avec un bout de baguette.

It's a very good quality oil with an initial herby taste, but not grassy at all which I hoped that it might be. However, the aftertaste which is slightly peppery more than makes up for it and the texture is lovely. It's best for plain drizzling over your favourite food, too good to cook with! A very good quality oil which I will buy again.

This came beautifully packaged . The oil As I hoped is smooth, fragrant, peppery and tastes of Moroccan olives - which do have a different taste to European olives- will have it every morning and also on salads and well Everything really !! Perfect

A wonderful tasting premium olive oil with a buttery texture and pepery taste in the back of the throat, recommended
