The one from Africa is actually from North Africa, where an old and beautiful country named Tunisia is located, a couple of hundred miles away from Europe. That land has thousands of years of old, rich tradition of producing olive oil since the Roman Empire and even before, just like the regions around the Mediterranean Sea.

[@Joe_C.]

I believe they say that Tunisian is amongst the best. Highest in polyphenols, antioxidants, etc. The harsher climate stresses the plants more and makes them produce more of these compounds in return. Which just happens to be the stuffs that are good for us

[@whatrubbishthishandle]

True! Highest in polyphenols!!

[@Lula2090]

Just push ur country map to Europe 😅 to be European 😅 zero confidence to be Tunisian

[@tommurphree5630]

The name of that olive oil from Tunisia is Terra Delyssa . It sold in my local grocery store in Virginia for 10 dollars , on sale 4 months ago , when it first appeared on the shelf. It now sells for twenty dollars . It reads on the bottle Gold Award Best olive oil in the world 2023 . The earlier bottles in the store read the same, but 2022 . Apparently the testers for that competition like it .

Carapelli is one of the more expensive brands here in Italy typically at or near the top of rankings though not as good as some of the smaller local oils that are rarely exported. My favourite is from Tre Colonne in Giovinazzo just north of Bari in Puglia. Lord knows how many prizes they have won over the years. There are also some very good lighter and more peppery oils from the area of Tuscia (NOT Tuscany) north west of Rome where I live, made from the Canino olive - which is generally well regarded and growing in popularity.

What we learnt from you was that late harvest ripness give more oil but less nutrients. thank you for that. what I would love for you to do a video or video series would be on the uses or the 3 different presses of oil and what you would use them for in different cooking methods ie. salads beef chicken fish. where you would use a mild flavour like just virgin olive oil for rapini or salads and use the better extra virgin olive oil for dips or finishing off a great meat or fish dish when you need the power of the flavour for and extra depth in a dish.

Tunisian olive oil is the healthiest, and easiest to confirm for extra virgin quality properties since Tunisian farmers have extremely traditional, hand picked less manufacturing involved and the olives contain the most antioxidants out of all. therefore Spain and Italy buys most of its exported oil from Tunisia and sells it packaged, under their country labels. You are consuming 90% of the time Tunisian olive oil if it's only "imported to Spain or Italy".

What most people don’t know is that Italy is the largest BUYER of Greek Olives . So when you look at some of the Italian Olive Oils they are actually using Greek Olives . Also Southern Italian and Sicilian Olive Oils are excellent as well . Calabrian Olive Oils are very high quality . On anther note , if you go to any Greek or Italian Restaurant in the US or Canada ask the waiter where their olive oil is from , the reason for this is that most Restaurants will use low grade Olive Oils . Especially if you ask for Olive oil to dip your bread into . Always ask if their olive oil is first cold pressed extra Virgin Olive oil . I ve been in the Olive Oil and Restarant business for over 30 years and off labeled Olive Oils are usually mixed and you will see on the back “ Olives from Tunisia, Greece, Italy and Spain” These are olives that are bought in bulk and just like honey it’s always best when it’s from the same farm and same type of Olive .

I am so happy I came across your channel today. Thank you for all this information. I have been using the brand from Africa for years, however, after watching your very interesting video, I will try DOPs & IGPs as well. Again, thank you for such an informative video.

North Africa has thousands of years experience with olive oil, and used to export olive oil to Rome.

It's very well in showing which olive oil to buy. But now days with the astronomic prices of this product, low income people are not longer able to afford it.

[@peace1108]

Turn your butter into ghee. It's so much better.

[@1maybeline]

​@@peace1108 There's nothing like that amazing taste of olive oil!

[@asfg2108]

​​@@peace1108please how to do that? Just heat the butter, cool it off and store it out of the fridge or not? Or just take butter, add salt and preserved like pickles?

[@DanielJohnson-ec8rk]

Even peanut oil is too high and my favorite for cooking

[@topreviewzone]

Thank you for the nice explanation. Especially the two parts of your video, the way you discuss the color, quality of olive oil in the second part (01:18 OLIVES) and the processing in the third part (05:04 Olive oil Processing) are really commendable. This information helps identify extra virgin olive oil.
