6 Kirkland Items You Should Never Skip, According to Superfans

These Costco-branded picks have earned cult status for quality and value.

Kirkland Signature products have amassed a cult following of Costco shoppers. What's so great about the Costco-branded items? According to shoppers, whether it's paper products or gourmet food, the warehouse-endorsed items are always top-notch products, often manufactured at the same factories as name-brand items. However, some Kirkland items are better than others. According to die-hard shoppers, here are 6 Kirkland items you should never skip.

Kirkland Signature Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is the top pick of all Kirkland Signature items, according to shoppers, "particularly the single origin ones that come in the glass bottles," one specifies. "The quality is superb and I'm just a bit more hopeful that it's not adulterated counterfeit crap like so many other seemingly reputable brands are," another says.

Kirkland Signature Pesto

Another top choice? "Pesto, hands down. As good as any other you'd find at the supermarket (actually better because it's not shelf stable, so no preservatives) and a larger quantity," states a fan. "Container says you have to use it within a week, but we use ours over the course of a month without issues." Another says that the jaw of mashed basil is "a deal and very versatile. Add in some cherry tomatoes and cubed fresh mozzarella to give it a little pop. Serve warm, or bring chilled to a summer potluck." "I love the pesto. Mix it real good before spooning it out the container. I've had store bought pesto in the past and hated it. But Kirkland's is delicious," says another. Can't use it all before it gets bad? Several people suggest freezing single-serving cubes of it.
