Identifying olive oil from screengrab

[zb]

Watching simply Raymond Blanc at the moment, he's making a lovely courgette salad, and says to use the best quality olive oil. Something I wholeheartedly subscribe to.

Unfortunately the bugger is keeping the label/brand away from the camera (likely due to broadcasting reasons), and my google-fu is letting me down.

Anyone got any idea what this is?



I could get a lower quality image, but I'd have to use mashed potato.

Does it matter? Can't you just use the best one your favourite shop stocks?

£14 for 5L

Label reminds me of Colavita but very hard to tell.
How old is the video as the bottle designs change.

Needle in a haystack!

I'd guess that being a Frenchman, he'd be patriotic and choose an oil from Provence, or Corsica.

It’s on ITV/ITVX app - Simply Raymond Blanc. Series 1, Episode 5?

Its not Colavita then.

Probably just Waitrose or something the production company wont get anything too fancy!

Just buy a good one from the supermarket. Odysea is a decent one that is commonly available from supermarkets. Look for PDO PGI labels.

I got a bottle of one of their Greek ones. Took a spoonful to try it. Was hit with a peppery astringency that made my eyes water. Was burning the back of my throat, I could feel it in my nose as well. Felt like my tongue was drying out. Apparently, that is the mark of the good stuff! It definitely added an extra flavour dimension to salad dressings, compared to cheaper, milder extra virgin oils made from mature olives.
