From what I've read, the most important things to look for in olive oil is 1) Freshness and 2) UV protected packages (i.e., no clear glass bottles). Since a lot of olive oil in the US is imported and stored in clear bottles it will taste ... not so good. It sounds like you're used to some pretty darn fresh oil, so it may be hard to find a suitable replacement.
