It's not a recent product, curious that only now it arrives in the UK. Some are very good indeed, like the Vanilla one (with an entire vanilla pod inside) and some are awful, like the garlic one (garlic adds an oxidated flavour to the olive oil).

These are 'pure', i.e. blended olive oils - not extra virgin. A rather forgettable product.

I agree with Vserna - I picked up a bottle of the basil one while in London last weekend and wasn't blown away by it. It was good/fine...but I wouldn't make the effort to pick it up again next time I was there. (had dinner guests try it as well who felt about the same way)

These products have been available in the Canadian market (Vancouver) for the last three years. I have the vanilla and chili-cardamom in our kitchen at the moment.
