Pure exaggeration and you most likely imagined it because of the price tag. You most likely never tasted real olive oil anywhere because it's not sold anywhere. Only thing you can get is "extra virgin" crap that is made from non ripe green olives that are "rich in antioxidant" blabla crap crap. Most often then not it also stings on your palate.
We make our own olive oil and only real way to actually taste real olive oil is to pick olives when they're extra ripe, then you need to salinize them in sea water for week or more, and then you press them. Also, remove as many branches as possible since they add bitterness as well. You will not buy this kind of olive oil anywhere because, well, its not EXTRA VIRGIN, and only thing that means its unripe olives. Unripe fruit doesn't taste like fruit is supposed to taste. It's easy.
