  • The majority of extra virgin olive oil on the grocery store is fake! That means the oil rancid, cut with cheaper oils, and does not meet the requirements to be extra virgin olive oil. Stick with single origin extra virgin olive oil from a trusted source, I would only buy a handful of olive oil brands to cook with, most of them are talked about in this video. Hope you find this helpful!

    My father worked in an Italian Olive oil bottling plant in California in the early 1960's and they were mixing olive oil from Italy with cotton seed oil from the southern U.S. The mixing was done in secrecy by a small night shift crew. He use to say "Who knows what was mixed into it before it came to the U.S." I was raised with stories of what a crooked business it was.
    If you swallow a teaspoon of olive oil the pure good quality oil will tingle in your throat. I learned this simple trick in Italy from an olive farmer. The Olive oil business in Italy back then (80s) was controlled by the mafia crime families and was crooked through and through. Many "European olives" in that time were coming in from other parts of the world and were labeled as" European".

      Please copy, paste and share this list! Natural Bliss coffee creamer with only milk, cream, cane sugar and vanilla thats really good and that i would fight a rabid dog over lol. The uncrappified food is best, like without RBGH in meat and dairy and food without artificial sweeteners or so many preservatives. i researched and found some more from top holistic doctors: if u eat wheat products that are not organic, ur probably getting a lot of glyphosate thats in RoundUp spray they put on crops. It gradually poisons, as do things like caramel color in soda and other things in soda and colors and many harmful chemicals. But there are good ones like Daves Killer Bread the 21 grains and seeds, its all organic, as is Ezekiel 4:9 bread and organic Oroweat bread and tastes much better. and with organic Kerigold butter. They even have nanotechnology, microscopic harmful things in food and a legal loophole allows them to get away with not listing it. The channel, Facts Matter With Roman Balmokov talks about that. Also, there is much information by a doctor, Dr, Sebi, they killed for curing people of cancer, diabetes, severe heart issues, etc. but many family members carry on his info. U can find it n youtube and amazon, even cookbooks with his food and herb info. I'll add a link with a list of superfoods, herbs to keep very healthy. He emphasized the importance of things like magnesium and iron in your diet, electrolytes, an alkaline diet and with food high in polyphenols, to stay cleansed and healthy. Also, to cleanse liver and have good overall health, daily take 2 tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar with lemon juice from a lemon or 2, which also cleans out liver, and 2 lemons, bob's red mill or frontier baking soda 1 tsp (not arm & hammer!) and mix it with 2 garlic bulbs and 125ml honey (about 4 ounces.) remember to take it with a quarter to half teaspoon of Bob's Red Mill or Frontier baking soda, NOT Arm & Hammer baking soda, Arm & Hammer is for cleaning, u can clean microwave and washing machine and more with Arm & Hammer and white vinegar and lemon juice, but use the other kind of baking soda for ingesting in the body. And some good herbs to add for removing toxins in liver, and good food for it are garlic, milk thistle, hydrangea, nettle root or nettle leaf, dandelion root or dandelion leaf, burdock root, sarsaparilla root, blue vervain, also apples, sweet potatoes, asparagus, blueberries, cranberries brussel sprouts, beets, green tea. There are other superfoods like ones mentioned and avocados, eggs but should be organic and from cage free chickens, and grapes, broccoli, cauliflower, pumpkin seeds, many more u can find, AND olive oil, also mentioned in Bible, is very good for the heart, as is hawthorn berry or hawthorn root and apple cider vinegar, cleans arteries, excellent for heart health and really overall health, but ONLY CERTAIN KINDS of olive oil that are processed a certain way or could have adverse effects. About 70% of extra virgin olive oil in stores, is fake and made from rancid olives that are processed in deceptive way. AND keep olive oil out of sunlight or it will oxidize it, ruining it. So the safe, healthy olive oil: Costco's Kirkland 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 100% Greek Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 100% Pure California Olive Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil, not the destination series ones, and the other good one is the Lucini Extra Virgin Olive Oil and finishing oil Casa D Hualdo Cornicobra Extra Virgin Olive Oil. If someone takes heart medicine, avoid a lot of what is natural blood thinners like apple cider vinegar and olive oil and avoid food high in vitamin K, a natural blood thickener. Mainstream doctors dont even tell people that or anything they should about food. Big Pharma makes money from people being sick. Here is the link for a lot of Dr. Sebi's superfood and herb info.

      Nice review. Costco EVO oil in plastic bottle is above average, but far from excellent. Lot's of deals at Costco and the big box stores, but that does not mean quality products. As a Master Chef,, I only buy and consume 100 % pure first pressing Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Greece. The ones from Italy are excellent too. Anyone who buys the blends or trusts only 1 brand is a fool. You lear from experience. I have tasted hundreds of EVO's around Italy, Greece, France and the world. The EVO Oil of the Gods is pure and real. BTW, I am in the longevity olympics and training at the gym several hours a day. Nobody keeps up with me. Cheers my friend. Let's get cooking.

Otherwise, I just take this post as another product promotional video

      You shouldn’t fry food in EVOO, it’s smoke point is too low, he says it’s around 400 but that’s quite low, it’s actually around 375 to 405, too low for frying. you should use refined olive oil (smoke point 425/465) or avocado oil (smoke point 480/520) for frying and EVOO for dressings and final dressing of salads.

      The main reason when a Olive Oil is bad is whatever or not is traceable, you look that it only have one Country of Origin.

    Absolutely agree with you! As a producer of extra virgin olive oil in Southern Italy, we've been cultivating over 2000 olive trees for generations. We take pride in our oil, which is exclusively from the olives we grow and carefully tend to. The difference in quality between our oil and the diluted versions on many store shelves is simply staggering.
    Buying directly from a trusted producer or source not only supports local businesses but also guarantees the purity of the olive oil. It's crucial for consumers to understand this.

I lnow in past for example in north Italy people did not use it much as it was more expensive than in south where it was produced, but in Greece olive oil was allways the preferred oil since antiquity.Also the word oil in English likely derives from latin which in turn is based on Greek word which is έλαιον and that in turn comes from the fact olive both as fruit or tree is called ελαία (ελιά in modern) in other words the word for oil in Greek initially meant *ONLY* olive oil.

If you know olives like I do, the oil must taste like olives, but lighter and with no bitterness.

It is important for the oil not to age too much, say one year. Cheers.

    I love good olive oil on my salads that I eat almost daily. I'm an oil and vinegar guy. I am very picky about what olive oil we buy. It's easy to tell the difference between quality oil and lesser oils. Even though they are labeled as extra virgin olive oil. First good olive oil will be slightly thicker than the fake stuff and have a darker more yellow color than the fake olive oils. Next I try it for flavor. Take a spoon full and taste it. The fake oils have very little flavor. Good extra virgin olive oil has a distinct flavor. Also quality extra virgin olive oil should have a slight burn similar to a hot pepper although it is very slight but should be there when you eat a spoonfull of it.

Just wanted to let know your viewers that Tunisian olive oil are very good quality .Tunisian olive oil is praised for its buttery flavor, its gentle and light texture, its healthy constitution. It's also award-winning-in case you didn't know there are olive oil awards, there are! It's also increasingly available.With its largely chemical-free orchards, Tunisia is the largest exporter of organic olive oil in the world. Tunisian olive oils have won medals at international competitions in London and Los Angeles. Yet Tunisian olive oil remains little-known to many foreign consumer.

    Here is a cooking tip for using EVOO, if you worried about burning the oil when cooking melt some butter into it. The extra fat from the butter helps stabilize the oil and it just makes stuff taste better.
    and if you are Low Card/ keto it help add good healthy fats to your cooking.

    3:44 "and they don't put the oil in there when it's super hot"...... EVOO is COLD pressed which means it's not heated up at all, actually by law, the temperature during the process of making the oil has to remain under 27 degrees Celcius (80 F). So, there's no hot oil going in to the plastic bottle.... The best EVOO oil, however, comes in dark glass bottles containing no more than 500 ml and the olives are picked, pressed and bottled in the same country.

    Hi, Bobby thank you for the useful information. I have a question.. Olive oil doesn't need to be organic?

    I upgraded since. I use the California Ranch purse for dressing but like the Kirkland Italian EVO for mix of everything. I still like the Kirkland organic EVO for everything else including cooking. I stay below it smoke point because I don’t like to smell after. I use the Coconut when I need more heat & blend w/ ghee butter
