We Asked 5 Chefs the Best Brand of Olive Oil—They All Picked the Same One

Summary: Olive oil is a kitchen favorite because it tastes great and is packed with health benefits, like lowering inflammation and protecting your heart. But with so many choices at the store, which one is the best? When five top chefs, including celebrity chef Robert Irvine, were asked for their favorite, they all agreed on Filippo Berio Extra-Virgin Olive Oil. They love it because it is affordable, handles cooking heat well, and has a smooth flavor. For a fancier option, chefs also highly recommend Le Marké.

To buy the best olive oil for your health and meals, the chefs share a few easy tips: always look for "100% extra-virgin," check that it comes from a single country, and make sure it is sold in a dark glass bottle or tin to protect the oil from light. Most importantly, always avoid "blends"!
