  • We ordered three of the tasting boxes - each at 150 - only one was delivered and there is no way to get a person to talk to - you need to send an email and wait - service is pathetic - and you cannot review on their site so they are censoring - further the oils were to be gifted but the only box is one it was shipped in - pathetic and I would avoid this place

  • I honestly can't believe it's taken me this long to try Brightland. I've given it as gifts to people, and seen it everywhere online. It took me walking into a store and seeing it on a shelf to bite the bullet. It was really marked up at that point, for what it's worth. The bottle was a bit smaller than I expected. Flavor-wise it was actually much hotter than I anticipated, I would necessarily suggest the ardor oil for dipping plan bread, it would probably be better on pizza or in smaller quantities.

  • Gorgeous packaging (and love the way Brightland collabs with illustrators) which in this specific category is a very nice perk because olive oil bottles are always out on the counter. Because of the price tag, I like getting the lemon olive oil flavor. It feels unique and special, and honestly the lemon flavor goes with almost anything. Hot tip: this is a GREAT gift to anyone. šŸŽ

  • Smells and tastes delicious while also in absolutely beautiful packaging. I find I use it for salads, avocado toast, bruschetta vs. cooking oil. That's when I can really taste the difference in the quality of the olive oil and it feels like a product that's worth it to me. Two bottles will last for a long time (~3 months) if you're not using it all the time, they're pretty medium sized.

    Definitely need to use with some sort of spout, the bottle & stopper as it comes isn't practical for everyday use - it will dribble everywhere and create a mess.

  • The vinegars and olive oil are incredible. The quality, flavor and packaging are all perfection. Ive tried olive oils at almost every price point and brightland olive oil is one of my favorite.

  • Brightland's products make you want to display your bottles of olive oil & vinegar in your kitchen. Here's what I really like about the product/brand: 1. Quality - US-sourced organic olives with no preservatives. The proof is in the pudding, er oil? You can taste the quality 2. Packaging - As I mentioned, glass bottles and wood toppers with beautiful designs, sometimes featuring artist collabs. These bottles are very proudly displayed on our bar cart 3. Taste - Look, it's tough to beat the ole classic of plain olive oil. BUT, I find that Brightland's flavoring is on point and complementary. I.e., they don't overwhelm the olive oil. Particularly love the Lucid lemon-flavored version!

    If anything, price? But go to a specialty olive oil/acid shop and you're going to see similarly priced bottles that are ugly. Honestly, Brightland might do itself a favor by educating users on use-cases between high-end olive oils and "cooking" oils. Maybe release a line of cooking oils in the future?

  • I love Brightland. I love gifting Brightland. I love it when my friends inevitably love Brightland. It's pricey but sometimes you need to splurge on special pantry items. It's worth it. Brightland is especially worth it. Highly recommend their chili, basil, and lemon olive oils because the flavor is very different from other nice olive oils. I honestly don't buy Alive and Awake because I'd rather use cheaper olive oil for day-to-day and then splurge on the really special stuff.

    BETTER POUR PLEASE. Oil is always dripping down the neck after a pour. It's wasteful and disgusting. Brightland sells a $9 spout but I don't want to buy that. I want a bottle that I can buy and gift and not have to buy a spout for too. Also, please be more clear about recyclability :) For a long time I didn't think the bottles were recyclable.

  • This stuff is LIQUID GOLD! I received the Basil Olive Oil as a gift and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. Bonus points for looking cute on your countertop! It's perfect for drizzling on pasta and salads. You can really taste the quality of Brightland's Olive Oil and they'll elevate your meals! I can't wait to try more!

  • i purchased the ā€œmini essentialsā€ as first time buyer it allowed me to try 2 olive oilā€™s & 2 vinegars (before deciding if i would like a bigger bottle but for me also iā€™m a 1 person household so this helps in not throwing out rancid oil because i never go through big bottles fast enough.) shipping was fast which i like & packing was bright & pretty (more below.) with summer i have been eating a lot of tomatoe mozzarella salads & the oil & vinegars have been really fresh tasting & i can definitely taste the difference btwn the oil i was using from wh fd. also enjoyed dipping crusty bread. only reason i took away 1 star is the price. i save the oil for when real stands out & not when iā€™m cooking. but i know the higher price is bc made in usa, small team people hand pick olives, packaging all has purpose etc

    had i wanted to give as a gift (which i had almost done) it would have been an issue as 1 corner of the box (w the oils not the ship box) was smashed & part of tape around box was open. & would be nice to have an oil maybe available that is less expensive but i did notice they had a couple on sale.

  • I'm not an olive oil connoisseur, but I got the Alive and Awake oils as a gift from my daughter and I love them. Great packaging, gorgeous on the counter of my all white kitchenā€“ I will definitely reuse both bottles when they're empty.

  • Taste incredible, packaging is phenomenal. Is it more exp than your standard olive oil. yes. do I care. no. šŸ˜¤

  • Brightland olive oil is exceptional! The flavor is rich and vibrant, perfect for elevating any dish. The beautiful packaging adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen. Highly recommend for anyone who loves quality olive oil!

  • Truly high-quality products that consistently impress. Can't ask for more!

  • i've only tried the champagne vinegar, but i'm obsessed with it. it adds the perfect amount of acidity to anything, and makes everything taste better. soups, salads, pasta dishes, a splash of this ties everything together and gives it a pop of brightness that adds so much dimension. can't recommend this enough, i would buy it over and over. only wish i could find it in person.

  • I love this brand! Not only does it look cool, but it's multi-use, tastes and performs amazingly, and I really enjoy a hack they suggest of using it on the lips! Love it!

  • I was initially sold by the cute bottle, & was shocked at how good the oil tasted.

    Feedback

    The bottle cap does become a little tricky to take on & off after getting super oily.

  • I am picky about my olive oil but love this! My favorite snack is just bread with oil and vinegar and I love to use Brightland when I have that. They're also pretty enough bottles to leave out on your counter.

  • I wouldn't consider myself an olive oil connoisseur but the quality is great and the branding is top notch. The flavor profiles are interesting and different - it made me want to experiment with olive oil on different types of meals.

    Price is a bit high

  • These make very cute gifts for all occasions. They have a smaller duo pack of oil and balsamic vinegar. The product is tasty and high quality however I dislike the pour of the bottle
