Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kirkland Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil really extra virgin quality?
It's labeled 100% extra virgin, cold-extracted, and USDA Organic certified, with no blending in refined or lower-grade oils. USDA Organic certification requires third-party verification of the growing and processing methods, and the bottle also carries OU Kosher certification. Read the printed label for the full certification marks and lot details.
Can I use this olive oil for high-heat frying?
Extra virgin olive oil typically has a smoke point around 375 to 405°F (190 to 207°C), which suits sautéing, roasting, and medium-heat pan cooking well. It's not the best choice for sustained deep frying at very high temperatures; for that, a refined oil with a higher smoke point holds up better.
Is it normal for this olive oil to turn cloudy or solidify in the cold?
Yes. Genuine extra virgin olive oil can turn cloudy or partially solidify when refrigerated or stored somewhere cold, which is a natural property of the oil rather than a sign of a problem. It returns to its normal clear liquid state once it warms back up to room temperature.
Where does this olive oil come from, and what size bottle is it?
The oil is sourced from Mediterranean olive-growing regions and bottled under Costco's Kirkland Signature private label. It's sold as a single 2-quart (67.6 fl oz) bottle, a bulk format aimed at households that go through olive oil regularly for cooking, dressings, and finishing dishes.
