I'm from the region that produces most of the olive oil on Earth, Andalucia (Spain) and here, if it's not a bit "spicy" (if it is spicy, it stays on the tong) then it's not good olive oil (also, the deeper the green the better, I have pics of different types if you want to know)

So Sabrina..... Acidity - you did find out what that means in olive oil right???? It is the percentage of free oleic acid . So this oleic acid is the good of virgin olive oil. if you damage the olive, or press it with heat, then the oil is broken in three (I cannot find the source, but the olive oil molecule is a three part thingy) I can send you pictures from the live harvest of me and my parents. The cold press and green olives we picked has only a 10% olive oil per weight. We got 50 litres for 500 kilos of olives.
@frleulenberger4 жыл бұрын
Yes, but I was fortunate enough that, buying olive oils in my job, I had the priviledge to visit small cooperative olive oil producers in Andalucia producing a real great extra virgin olive oil, though there's slight differences to the one you produced in the video - might have to do with the fresh olives going straight from the trees to the oil mill though.

While blueberries are available in the shop here in Europe all year through, they are a seasonal product and have to be imported during the winter from somewhere else.

I know people who use extra virgin oil both for everything, and only for dressing. The difference I noticed is that people who use it only for dressing tend to do so because they think it's very expensive and they don't want to "waste money". It may be not as expensive as in the US, but expending €5/$6 on a bottle every two weeks is kind of a lot for a lot of people, specially when you compare it to other cheaper oils. Even among those who use it for everything think it's expensive, but they think the "sacrifice" is worth it.

I went to a uni that was based as an agricultural school, we had olive trees all over campus and even though they looked like decoration, they weren't, they were harvested every year and different products were made from them, including evoo (which could be bought in the campus bookstore lol). The uni has a LOT of different studies/faculties going on there, but no matter what your major was, a student almost always came out of that school knowing some things about agriculture (it's one of the first unis in the States to have a viticulture and brewing school where you could even get a master's in those subjects). As for olive oil, one thing we all learned was if you lived in a region of the world that produced its own olive oil, 9 times out of ten you should buy olive oil from that region, less time in shipping and sitting on the shelf means better quality, and with oils that can go rancid, this is a big factor.

I'm so glad that you talked about this! It's actually a HUGE problem because a lot of people have dietary restrictions that make them sicker when they consume canola/vegetable oil. For those people their options are typically avocado and olive oil, and most prefer olive. They often don't even know that they continue to have symptoms because of the fraudulent oil, which causes them to further restrict their diet looking for a solution, or even giving up. It's horrible, these companies profit off of worsening peoples' sicknesses. As a tip, actual olive oil MUST be stored in dark containers, so while dark container =/= real, clear container = real. Cooking with lard is a great option (easy to make it yourself so you can be sure it's real), but the flavor makes it incompatible with a lot of dishes.

I'm from Spain and we have different types of olive oil widely available here, in any supermarket you'll find at least an extra virgin and a refined one. There's usually variety within those as well though, depending on the type of olive used or how strong the taste is. I thought this was normal until I went to live in the US for a year and there I only saw the extra virgin kind. I have to say I'm not surprised it may be fake oil because fairly often the taste was pretty different from the one here. It definitely was much milder and reminded me more of the refined oil than the extra virgin one.

I worked for a store specializing in olive oil for 4.5 years so basically I got an unofficial BSc in olive oil. Basically nothing you're buying in a grocery store is actually extra virgin olive oil because it is most definitely not free of sensory defects, and chances are most of the 'Italian' olive oil is made with olives from elsewhere like Tunisia and packaged in Italy, if it's even 100% olive oil, which it might not be because mixing with soy/hazelnut/whatever oil is pretty common. If you're lucky enough to have a tasting bar-style place near you, it's definitely worth it to pop in and try some real, fresh olive oil. Fun facts: olive oil is more profitable for the Italian mafia than drugs, and the CEO of Colavita did jail time for food fraud involving adulterated olive oil.

Thanks for your video. When I learned that there was a lot of fake olive oil in the world, I decided not to ever buy imported ever again. I'm in the USA and I decided to only buy olive oil grown in California. I figure that anyone claiming their EVOO is grown in California would face great scrutiny in that state, and likely be called out for any discrepancy. So there is a brand called California Olive Oil, and they do have their own farm groves and they harvest, press and bottle it. They sell both 100% California grown (more expensive), and blends of imported EVOO, from companies they trust. I don't know if I should trust them, but since it appears likely that I can, that is what I've used for several years.

In Britain, Italian cuisine is much more prevalent than other olive oil-producing countries, so Italian oil gets the most exposure. If the shop has a range of olive oils, there might be some other origins, I've seen Greek and Spanish before. The distinction is more about Italian vs. unknown origin, rather than rating the countries against each other.

I had good oil from greece, spain and italy, in the end the climate is similar and the conditions comparable. Of course there will be differences, but that's also true from region to region like in wine.

The best olive oil is Italian; however, if you don't live in Italy, more likely than not you are better off NOT buying oil sold as "Italian" (except maybe from Eataly, but they will rip off you an arm and a leg). If you consider that Italy consume twice as much olive oil than they produce, you can form a rough estimate of your chances of buying genuine Italian olive oil. Also, if you are not buying the super extra fancy stuff, Spanish and Greek oils are as good as the Italian ones, with less chances of adulteration.

I thought I was allergic to olive oil for a good few years, until I found out I’m actually allergic to a different oil that is used as filler in olive oil. It’s a slippery slope, quite literally

I was in Israel and was at a place where they made olive oil, and they had an old millstone or grindstone setup used back in ancient times. It basically is this big donut shaped rock with a hole in the center and then there's a smaller donut shaped grindstone on top, and there'd be a beam inserted through the grindstone that a donkey would be strapped up too and would walk around in circles rolling the grindstone around the base. They'd lay out the olives around the rim of the base stone and then grind them down. Before the whole grindstone method, olive oil was gotten by using a similar setup except people would just walk circles around barefoot on a layer of olives, the oil draining into the center. Burger King foot lettuce has nothing on barefoot olive oil. Anyway, I asked them about virgin olive oil, and their reply was that there was no such thing as extra virgin olive oil from the pressing standpoint. It's a modern classification, but in their opinion wasn't real. Historically, virgin olive oil was what came from the first pressing of the olives, and was the best stuff. They would re-press the olives multiple times, each time bringing less quality olive oil, which that had hebrew names for I don't remember and couldn't pronounce anyways. Virgin was the main one used for human consumption still, with the lower qualities being used for different functions. But saying "extra virgin" to them was like saying an apple was "extra hand-picked". It just doesn't make any sense.

Buy Spanish Olive oil, Spain produces most of "Italian" oil anyway and it's better as the industry behind oil is extremely protected and developed. Italians are good at branding, spaniards are good at making the actual thing, if you buy Italian you're probably getting more expensive less quality Spanish stuff anyway...

If you are in the USA, buy California olive oil. It’s a lot less likely to be fake. The issue is the overseas oil distributors that blend the oils before they send it out. The US has better controls on these things

This video yeeted me to 2015 when I visited Israel for 6 weeks on a trip with a group and at one point we went to a random place that used to be an ancient olive oil refinery, and we got to use a model but functional ancient olive press to make olive oil 😂😂😂 such a specific memory that I thought I would never be relevant ever again

Italians have a lot of good marketing, but if you want good oil, buy some Spanish oil. The Romans actually imported the oil from Spain. And usually Italian oil is mixed with Spanish oil to make it less bitter and pass the test you mentioned. Also... Despite what that guide said, good olive oil has some residue at the bottom (very little), and if you get it cold some white residue should form from the thicker fats of the oil. If you see that, it's usually true extra virgin oil without any refinement at all. The things you buy in stores are usually refined even if they say it's not.

11:36 Might be wrong but looks like a water-oil emulsion. That is what happened in some of my early attempts at making walnut oil using water. I'd grind the walnuts till they start secreting oil and then to that walnut-buttery goop I'd add water and mix thoroughly. My reasoning behind it was that when sufficiently diluted, the mixture would separate: the solid particles falling to the bottom, the oil floating to the top - separated by water. Not what happened. Instead, water molecules binded with oil molecules, forming an emulsion - permanently. I put the thing away for a week and there was no sign of water and oil separating. So yeah, since then I keep water out of my crazy oil-pressing experiments (walnuts, hazelnuts, avocado, etc; olive oil I've not attempted)
