What Does OLIVE OIL Do for Your Body?

Nope…unfiltered is not better. The sediment will cause the polyphenols to breakdown faster. It loses its quality faster as it ages. There is no downside to the filtering process.

[@antreb15]

@@marksmithj9892 I don't know how long you keep your olive oil. Filtered Olive Oil Appearance: Clear and free of particles. Shelf Life: Longer shelf life, typically 18-24 months. Taste: Consistent flavour, as impurities, are removed. Stability: More stable due to the removal of moisture and particles. Unfiltered Olive Oil Appearance: Cloudy and contains olive particles. Shelf Life: Shorter shelf life, usually up to 12 months. Taste: Fresher and more robust flavour, but can change quicker due to oxidation. Nutritional Content: Higher in polyphenols, which are potent antioxidants. So for me, Unfiltered is better. That's a YEP!

Make sure your olive oil is cold pressed or first pressed olive oil, which means it is not processed or destroyed by the heat processing. Make sure it is organic, it is made in Italy or the Mediterranean, and that it doesn't have any excipients and that it is pure, unadulterated olive oil. Make sure it's a slight green in color. And a slight thick consistency, that has a mildly strong taste. 🌞

[@dahaus6802]

It doesn't always hurt or create a prickly feeling in the back of your throat it depends on the variety of the of olive itself. this one you refer to is a mix of two varieties Frantoio and Moraioto. One being stronger than the other, they are blended but both are very fruity which creates the itch to the throat. They can be fruity, bitter or soft in flavor and used for different things, frying, salads, or special to drizzle on plates at the end. Italy has so many varieties as does Spain and Greece. To tell people it just has to be prickly to get a good oil is not true.

[@udosteger]

I am afraid it is not so simple - while that "throat test" may apply to some kinds of olive oil typicalyl produced in italy, in fact olive oil can be a varied as wine - depending on the olives used, their ripeness when picked, the way the olives are handled and how fast they are processed etc etc. different countries also prefer different tastes of olive oil. An "extra vergine" oil made from over-ripe olives which spent three days on a lorry will have much less quality than if the same olives were picked while still green, cooled and processed immediately. As a rule of thumb, spanish, portuguese and greek olive oils are usually milder, as they thend to harvest the olives later when they are ripe and black, which gives good olive oil an almost buttery, warm, mild taste, and this oil can usually be used well for cooking, whereas the french and Italians like a more "grassy" taste which comes from harvesting the olives early just before they become ripe, and they are better used for salads, pestos and other cold or mildly wearm food. There are also different kinds of olives for oil (and lets not forget the other olive varieties grown for eating) each with their own taste. Unfiltered oil from green olives must be used quickly, for cold dishes only and is rarely available, but once you tried it, ideally just with a slice of that italian bread and with some seasalt, you never go back. Also, Algeria, Tunisia, but also the countries of the levante, they all produce lots of olives and there are more and more small producers sticking to quality - they are just more difficult to find. OTOH, Italy produces and exports much much more "italien olive oil" than the olive trees there are able to produce - because it is sufficient for an olive oil to be "italian" if the olives, sometimes shipped for days across the mediterranean sea, are only pressed in Italy. The same may happen in Spain and other countries. Therefore, if you have the chance to buy verified locally produced olive oil, absolutely do so, and do not hesitate to buy that 5l or 10l canister - you will use it, and/or can share with friends and family. I also hear that in california, some excellent olive oil is available, but it may be the exception, not the rule.

Great video Dr. Berg! Nice to see another EVOO advocate stress that there is a real difference between the grocery store evoo and the real, pure evoo. However, please don't stress on the itchy/prickly feeling in the throat. Not everyone experiences this, and, the variety of the olive used is another major factor. Arbequina olives are some of, if not the mildest. They're usually more fruity and buttery. The polyphenol count on the Arbequina olive will be lower than say a Koroneiki olive. Koroneiki olives tend to be stronger in flavour, more robust, grassy, herby, with a peppery undertone or finish, and a much higher polyphenol count naturally. Also, each harvest will have a different taste and polyphenol count due to many contributing factors - weather, water, oil content in the olive, when it was picked vs when it was pressed, etc. I've had customers sample Arbequina and cough, and then I've had customers who don't feel a thing. Plus, once you start to consume a proper and true EVOO, the burn/itch/cough will go away. Another huge thing to look for is a harvest and/or bottle date. Olives are harvested once a year. In Northern California its late October, early to mid November. In Australia it will be earlier in the year as their summers are in our winters. Also, don't underestimate EVOO grown and produced in Northern California, EVOO produced overseas can be incredible, but not always an option due to cost for most people. Some of the multigenerational family groves there produce some absolutely amazing, delicious, pure, locally, nationally, and internationally awarded EVOO. A lot of the EVOO produced there is also certified pure through a council that has rigid and strict requirements for certification. If you're interested in more information, let me know!

May I suggest you buy her a bottle of really good olive oil and let her dip a slice of ciabatta in it, adding a dash of sea salt - much more fun and tastier than those capsules. Buy small bottles, and join her, so you two can go through the many different kinds of olive oil and understand the different taste e.g. of an italian oil for salads and a greek oil for cooking. However, the "greener" the olive (grassy taste), the more polyphenols it will have.

Organic Greek olive oil is the best and has been the liquid gold of the Ancient Greeks and a factor in their longevity in the Greek blue zones & the diet.

Totally agree with you. I think Greek olive oil is the best

Hi Dr. Berg, you mentioned that you use balsamic vinegar on your salad...we use organic pomegranate vinegar with the mother...would you be able to do a vid on its benefits? TY

[@__WJK__]

Great suggestion!

[@Drberg]

I'll add that to my video suggestion list.

[@emre05x]

Nothing beats Greek/Turkish olive oil for me. That region has the best olives.

[@SuzyO-s2q]

Oh yes I absolutely agree👍😁

[@Wendathena]

I have noticed that many balsamic vinegars have "added sugars". Both the TJ's balsamic and the Costco organic balsamic say they have something like 6 or 9 grams of added sugar per tablespoon. I love them, and as you do, I each a large salad for many meals but wonder if I should switch to red wine vinegar, or lemon/lime juice with my organic olive oil as my dressing, to avoid the added sugar in the balsamic.

[@marblesotherhalf]

If you don't see any added sugars, caramel colorings, additives or preservatives on the ingredient list (which there absolutely should not be any of if it's real balsamic vinegar and vinegar itself is a preservative), then the sugar content you're seeing are naturally occurring. A good quality Balsamic Vinegar is made with grape must (think of Ethel and Lucy stomping in the pit of grapes) and a very high quality red wine vinegar. A high quality balsamic will have such a beautiful, velvety, smooth, rich, and intense flavor that you will only need a small amount.

[@Wendathena]

@marblesotherhalf the ingredients says “grape must” but the nutritional label says 6g added sugar. These are the TJ brand and Costco brand balsamic vinegar. I don’t understand why it says added sugar when it’s only two ingredients- vinegar and grape must.

[@phiberoptik232]

The problem is finding authentic olive oil. So much of what you find on shelf stores is loaded with anything but olive oil.

[@Drberg]

Correct. If you like, you can try my recommendation. Please see the link in the description section of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4qQmmSafNZ0hcU

Interesting, do you know which variety of olives they grow there(?)

[@AussieRon]

Olive oil also contains up to 10% PUFA. You can remove most the PUFA by freezing the olive oil. The polyunsaturated part will remain liquid, so you can remove it.

[@danielwood6578]

What is PUFA? Pure fat?

"Greece has by far the largest per capita consumption of olive oil worldwide, around 24 liters per year.[47] Consumption in Spain is 15 liters; Italy 13 liters;[47] and Israel, around 3 kg.[48] Canada consumes 1.5 liters and the US 1 liter.[47]"

Long time ago, maybe 10y or so, when spending some time on the isle of Crete, southern part, a village called Pitsidia. I was given a plastic 1.5L water bottle filled with locally produced very green olive oil by the owner of the house I was staying at. He also had an olive tree garden nearby. Best olive oil I ever tasted.

Dr. Berg I bought a bottle of the olive you recommend. It not only came in a dark GLASS bottle but was shipped in a box. It DOES taste different! VERY peppery finish. I can eat olive oil with food and have no problems. This morning I ingested 2 tablespoons on an empty stomach. It is cleaning me out, like a laxative, but also I have a lot of nausea. I took ginger root and Pepto but the nausea continues. I used a tablespoon measuring spoon. Did I take took much or is this just my body not being used to this?

[@daveh7585]

Dr Berg. I like/buy Marinated Greek olives (refrigerated) Is eating the olives better for you than the oil?

[@yvonnegrivas5589]

My family makes olive oil. Knew most of this altho since my life is here in the states n not in Greece with my family, I had forgotten the specificities. Olive oils are great when it's the real thing but when you don't know, it's easy to get fooled. Buy the imported stuff when you can it does make a difference

[@heatherbrown384]

[@BrasileiraMia]

"Ah, this brings back memories! The best olive oil experience I've ever had was during a trip to the South of France. There, olive oil tasting wasn't just with bread but directly with a spoon. The highlight? The unique dessert at Byblos Hotel in Saint Tropez - fraise (strawberries) drizzled with olive oil. I've since made it a habit to recreate this with organic strawberries. Not only is it a delightful treat, but hearing that it's beneficial for health makes it even better! 🍓✨🇫🇷"

[@DidiPort]

We grow our own Olives (61 Trees “Oliveira’s” some are over 200 years old) and they are pressed directly and are bottled immediately. I orally take every day a large spoon of Azeite (olive oil) usually first thing in the Morning. Plus we use Azeite multiple times each day when cooking or for our skin, hair etc.. Sorry there is no feeling in the back of the throat (this may well be a species of Oliveira thing) I do subscribe to ensuring you are not getting one put over you by buying blended oil falsely labelled, hence we have our own trees. I feel there are definite health benefits in Azeite consumption.

[@Drberg]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Dewdrops6546]

Right doc but I could not tolerate the itchy sensation in the throat so had to opt for medium olive 🫒 oil instead. Xtra virgin was also quite unpleasant otherwise as well being bitter in taste.😢
