“Can you just recommend an AFFORDABLE olive oil that I can find in the supermarket?” This is one question I keep getting - and it’s a fair question. In fact, we’re working on a follow-up video to compare some of the big-name everyday extra-virgin olive oils… but there are so many out there. Bertolli, Colavita, Pompeian, Filippo Berio, California Olive Ranch… what are the ones YOU would like me to test and talk about?

[@gramps5157]

I got the Tamia Green and the Oro just to try something different. The Tamia Green had more aroma and flavor than the Oro. Tamia Green is so fresh and bursting with fragrance and flavor. That's what I want in an EVOO.

[@johnhelms8226]

It’s an excellent idea to bring a really fine bottle of olive oil as a gift to a dinner party.

[@user-nm9ht5ez6l]

Right! I'm a non drinker and I struggle with buying wine as a gift but I definitely can get behind a good quality olive oil as a gift. Great idea

[@TomMcDonaldatYahooDotCom]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@KKE1978]

Wow that analogy of wine bottle made me go get a 25 dollar bottle of olive oil and to be honest it was worth while.

[@HaakonOdinsson]

I buy Chania Kritis PGI evoo 500ml from Lidl here in the uk for £6.95. It’s lovely and from the same area as the Greek one you reviewed. It’s a great great one for someone on a budget

[@mcbone5746]

Last year while wine tasting in Paso Robles, Ca. My wife and I came across an olive oil tasting room. We decided to stop and try. We enjoyed it just as much as the wine tasting.

[@JuicyOlive-sx2ho]

Seriously ,think it tastes like castrol gtx

[@emmel4fun]

I like olive oil a lot better than wine. I would love to go olive oil tasting.

[@DraftDodger69420]

Check out Ambyth next time you're there. They are a small dry farmed biodynamic winery that also makes an outstanding olive oil.

[@dwaynedurham7257]

Thank you ladies!!!

[@michaelnelson2970]

Awesome video made me think of my fantastic Italian grandmother. Life was good in those days.

[@mehmetyesil1414]

Olie oil is a miracle medicine. I am from Izmir city ( Smyrna) of west Turkey. My father used to purchase stone pressed olive oil from his villager customers. My mum was cooking rice, pasta, soups, vegan meals...etc with olive oil. When i first purchased olive oil from a shop i shocked the taste was awfull, that time i realized how my mouth used to COLD PRESS VIRGIN OLIVE OIL. Real Virgin Olive oil always has a little bitter, a little heavy but flavored taste. For new beginners I would advise add a little ground red pepper or apple vinegar, oregano, lemon to your olive oil, and try it with bread , but not the sweetened breads, sourdough bread preferably. This way you can used to real virgin olive oil taste, than use your olive oil for any of your meals, except fries (don't waste your olive oil) Never ever buy a rafinated olive oil, and never go a cheap one. Enjoy your miracle Olive Oil.

[@daArt708]

Hi....thanks for the recipe I believe this is what I was looking for..my daughter used to work in a restaurant that served oil with bread and she told me how the people loved it but she didn't know how they made it.😉

[@miroslavkral5406]

In Croatia, the entire region called ISTRA has been declared the world's best destination for olive oils. Many of the oils in general, from Croatia, regularly win first places in competitions due to their quality. Just enough so that you have the information.

[@martinbevk1695]

Exactly, if it wasn't for the Croats we`d still be dicking cactuses

[@JEFFQUICKLE9]

Agree!

[@JEFFQUICKLE9]

Too bad they are not sold in the USA!

[@miroslavkral5406]

@@JEFFQUICKLE9 I know that you can buy them in the US, but probably in rare stores (not in super markets) and not in a large selection. Production here is not in large quantities like in Spain, Italy and Greece, but the quality is therefore better. Awards (gold and other medals) at international competitions speak best about this.

[@johnbanach3875]

Croatia had the highest percentage of awards vs. entries in this year's NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL OLIVE OIL COMPETITION, which has just concluded, surpassing Italy, Spain, and Greece. Very impressive!

[@frankcatrini4816]

[@KUEHLKUEST]

Excellente!! Thank you for doing such a great informative video!! We'll definitely be trying these oils!! Cheers!! J & C

[@dicknordlund8928]

I am close to the Greeks in terms of olive oil use. Certainly much more than most Americans. Thank you

[@carlporter]

I first heard of watering down olive oil with other oils in 2000. Before that I heard of watering down milk with water. This video sounds like a path to quality oil, but what I enjoyed was watching them taste the oil. There are local olive growers in my county. To me, that would be the healthiest and what better way to buy something not shipped half-way across the Globe. With food, you are always trusting someone. I was told with rumored "watered-down milk" that you can "really taste the milk" in the pure one. So most importantly, trust your taste buds and any perceived changes in your health. Be observant.

[@ADUAquascaping]

Durant olive oil 🫒. You can't go wrong considering they have won 1st place at the NY International Olive Oil Competition for the past 7 years. It tastes great, obviously. Made in Oregon, USA!

[@seagullpoet]

This was cool ! She’s like a wine expert. Fun watch.

[@goricaj1]

Oliveoillovers has the best oil!! I’ve been buying oil from them for a long time

[@BillNeumannMusic]

Last year I purchased a wonderful bottle of Frantoio Pruneti Olio Nuovo (Tuscany, Italy) from Joanne at Olive Oil Lovers. Fresh, bright, lightly fruity with grassy notes, not overly peppery. Great on fresh greens, pizza, and grilled vegetables! Nobleza del Sur is next to try!! Great video and congratulations to Joanne for earning a perfect score! 💯

[@TrueFoodTV]

I always knew you had good taste, Bill! Enjoy Nobleza!

[@Noone-rt6pw]

Thank you for this! I was introduced to olive oil and I've liked it ever since, then it's good for ya. Where can we get seedlings, seeds or cuttings for the best oils?

[@johnbanach3875]

Yes, you're right. It makes way more sense to drop some bucks on a truly fine EVOO that will last you a month than on a bottle of wine that you'll finish off at one dinner.

[@dudea3378]

Or a very nice bottle of balsamic vinegar which is super concentrated and lasts a very long time. Literally a drop or two is enough to flavor anything

[@marsdoria189]

When I visited Zakynthos, Greece, aside from the beautiful places, culture, and food, I had the opportunity to visit Zante olive press museum. After learning the history of how olive oil was made in the island, I bought 4 bottles of EVOO from them. Unfortunately they don't have an easily accessible online shop so I had to email them to order more.. not to mention shipping can be about $50+ international so I made sure to buy a lot.

[@jamesaron1967]

Unfortunately, most of the best oil from Greece cannot be easily acquired. We import our oil from ancestral lands. Nothing added, straight oil from the olive. You often don't know what you're getting from commercially purchased oil.

[@JuicyOlive-sx2ho]

[@user-gz3kp6im9z]

What a giggly silly woman, cool down ..😒😏

[@ReaperOfSouls83]

nice video and I appreciated the presence of some Italian oils. for me the Tuscan and Sicilian ones are the best, the Campania ones are also good, better if bought freshly made, if you hace the opportunity... they have an intense green color and an irresistible scent. Hugs to all

[@spanishpeaches2930]

Used to put olive oil in my ears to clear the wax.

[@jamesp8459]

I could totally take a shot of olive oil in the morning, wish I was there for this taste test.

[@MrFlyby34]

Thank you ladies this was very helpful and I ordered some oils. Greetings from the UK!

[@ReaperOfSouls83]

which ones did you get? you liked them?

[@zmajoule6908]

Great informative video as always ❤

[@deesticco1719]

Yes, ever since learnt of the taste test I do it! Feel a pungent sensation in the throat!

[@jodrew1845]

This was a great review. What was/is spectacular about this vlog post is the oils selected were from more than one country, which I very much appreciated.

[@user-do5hd7zb4x]

You've got a point there young lady!

[@kizomanizo]

I never thought that there are olive oil connoisseurs out there going on with their business. Kudos to her and your channel for bringing this up.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Yes, she's just like a sommelier - Joanne has a truly incredible palate. It was amazing to learn from her!

[@Greatasfather]

Which Costco oil to buy ?

[@hanssacosta1990]

100% Italian EVOO

[@steviezxr]

You can say you’re an expert in anything 😅

[@gooddaysahead1]

​@@steviezxrI'd love to see you try to pull that off, Stevie. You're under 20 years old, right?

[@tremontefr5617]

I get homemade olive oil from my families land in Italy. Never really need to buy olive oil but if I do it’s Athena from Greece. Closest thing I’ve tasted close to our oil from southern Italy

[@jaglazzarinim2558]

Oh great point about wine and the Olive oil

[@worldview730]

What about the Acidic levels, what's the rating?

[@freddymaf7754]

Brava! your guesting Joanne here. I've been shopping Oliveoillovers for the past two years or so and would be lost without them and the treasure trove I view them to be.

[@TrueFoodTV]

She's amazing!

[@MissTReviews]

@@TrueFoodTV Good video. First I've seen. Found myself wondering-Why aren't they ALL organic? Why would I want to buy these? Sure, they may be "healthier" than some watered down ones. But they are certainly not the Healthy-est, with pesticides in them. What am I missing here? --Could you make a video about that?? (Wait, sorry, I just remembered--- this is for entertainment purposes only...nvmd,) Grateful to be entertained, good job. thanks!

[@combinesawmill]

Can you tell us about the olive oil in northern Africa. Moroccan olives....

[@Ja2808R]

Thank you so much for this episode. I’ve been on the Evoo rollercoaster lately also, now ready for more. PS: my garden is doing great this year whilst implementing some of your best tips I’ve picked up over the years.

Hi live in Corpus Christi, Texas our only selections of olive oil are in our local grocery stores, so what would you recommend for me to buy?

[@setusworld]

Fantastic ♥️♥️

[@BDInQatar]

U r superb in presenting ❤ lovely presenter

[@Noone-rt6pw]

Can you do something on Syrian pumpkin seed oil? It's supposed to be good for males. What I recall having one time, I seemed to recall it tasting good. It'd seem to be good for females it'd seem. If I could offer a suggestion, like at the end, could you give a summary of which oil and brand for what qualities? It'd save having to read through the transcript and searching everything out.

[@lordronn472]

Would you recommend Theoni?

[@katalinaj3450]

Nicole, This is so so great! Will you also do Hazelnut Oil comparison? Hazelnut Oil has recently entered market and on the comparison chart, it has a lot of benefits beyond Olive Oil. I believe it will benefit all of us to understand more of hazelnut oil as well. There are products from Italy, Turkey, France and USA (Oregon). Looking forward to see it.

I used Braggs. Yes, the ones that make aminos, and vinegar. I use a shot in the morning Very robust and peppery.

[@aith7rios]

Might be a dumb question, how do you make the oil flow from the bottle?

[@wendyw2u]

I use a lot of olive oil on my salads as well as to cook with especially my vegetables. I would love a recommendation on an oil that would be good for both.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Watch the video and you will find what you're looking for amid these recommendations! 🙌

[@JamesBrown-nq7qk]

Extra virgin olive oil is different from country to country and the weather... Taste it... and then make your choice...Tunisian olive oil is excellent...watch out for products from Italy and Spain...They use different blends from different Mediterranean countries and they usually don't disclose this information...

Having family in Catalonia I always had access to, and love, Arbequina olives and oil. They're among my absolute favourites, and I'm thrilled to see an oil mentioned on this video.

[@TrueFoodTV]

Love arbequina! And such a beautiful tree as well with its cascading olives.

[@vaazig]

​@@TrueFoodTVYes, and I also love olive wood for cutting bords and other products. Such a lovely looking grain. Have you tried Argan oil? We did during a trip to Morocco and loved it. Haven't been able to buy anything remotely as good in the UK.

Just received a nice variety order including many of the ones profiled here. Is it proper to have more than one bottle open at one time for a variety from day to day, or should a bottle be used up before moving on. Shelf life of an open bottle is my question I guess.
