Hi Reddit,

I’m Jordan Riddick from Pompeian, and I’m here for an AMA!

I’ll be answering questions from 10am -12pm EST about olive oil, cooking, branding/marketing, and anything Pompeian!

Ask me anything!

I’ll start answering at 10am EST. Look forward to chatting!

Italy took 166 of the 698 awards.

Croatia took 128, and 103 of those were Gold.

Spain, which makes roughly half the world's olive oil, finished fifth with 85.

Monovarietals converted at 78 percent, blends at 63.

Which country's oil do you reach for most?

Hi there! I’m 22yo guy who LOVES minimalist eco friendly lifestyle. Few months ago I did deep dive into HP and CP soap bars. I wanted to find something that was good for face, body and hair. After few weeks I re-discovered Aleppo soap (I was familiar with them before) but I wanted something I could potentially make at home in the future. And laurel berry oil is hard to come by so I looked for an alternative. And so I discovered Greek 100% olive oil bars. If I liked them, I could easily make them at home. So I bought one for about 2€ (Olive oil, water, sodium hydroxide, sea salt) and tested it. I have pretty good skin but my face, back and chest suffer from closed comedomes, acne and black dots pretty often. I’m still in testing phase, but I think that the soap is helping. And even if it’s not, it’s not making my skin worse which is a big plus. And got my medium long hair (mullet) is fine. Little bit drying but still pretty good (straight, heavy, coarse hair)

Do you have any experience with 100% olive oil soap? Share your thoughts please!

>A good price can draw customers in, but the best types of olive oil have a flavor that people stick around for. As one Redditor says, "I have several Italian friends, hard core, proud, and old school. They say the same thing, every Italian (in the U.S. anyway) worth their salt uses Pompeian for best flavor."
On a different Reddit thread, another chimed in on a post asking if Pompeian was a good brand, saying, "Pompeian is one of if not the highest quality for price olive oils on the market. It's the #1 olive oil brand in the USA. No, it is not a boutique farmers market oil, and it does not pretend to be. It is positioned as a reliable everyday olive oil that people can cook with and use daily."
