Why Spain Is The King Of Olive Oil | Food Secrets Ep. 22

[@oreally8605]

I'm getting hungry talking about Olive 🫒 oil. So many great uses. Thank You God! Thank You for Your creation of 🫒 Olives!

[@DWFood]

We know the feeling! Olive oil is such a versatile ingredient and can be used in so many different ways.

[@suzz1776]

On a side note, olive wood is some of the best wood to work with (at least in my opinion), and it is beautiful.

[@josemiguelmunoz6985]

It is also the best for BBQ and smoking.

If there a case for olive oil addiction in science, I am the one. Literally I cannot pass a day without olive oil. 😍

[@DWFood]

Ha! Sounds like you're a true olive oil aficionado!

[@josemiguelmunoz6985]

Sorry dude, you are not the only one. I'm Spanish and I'm also addicted to olive oil since I was born. 😋😋 At least this is a healthy addiction.

[@joiesamaniego3056]

@@Gioinselgood for you. I’m still trying to like it for the fact that it is good for the body. I think it is an acquired taste

[@Gioinsel]

@@joiesamaniego3056 For the Mediterraneans is like a water. Everyday essential 👌🏼😊

[@josefalawson3049]

Why in North America only the Italian olive oil is dominant? I visit Spain a lot and know the difference in quality and taste of the Spanish olive oil and the olive fruit itself. Bring more Spanish olive oil in America por favor.

[@josemiguelmunoz6985]

Because they were the first to advertise themselves and, once they became famous, they didn't mind exporting real rubbish to the US. It is also true that there are a lot of Italian-Americans in the US and that helped a lot.

[@katarzynamariamuszynska2811]

I admire people's passion

[@stillerbinichnicht]

Still excited about the pairing of oranges and olive oil at the end. Anyone who tried it?

[@Gioinsel]

Tried and approved ✨

[@We-Cook-It]

Awesome video, my favorite 🫒 Oil from Spain, reminds me of my childhood memories. 🇵🇷My Grandmother always having a bottle to serve with (ensalada de bacalao con viandas🇵🇷)-(cod fish salad with root vegetables) like Boniato Oriental, yam, Taro, it kills, guinea-bannana that are small & green, pour with Spanish 🫒 Oil😋👌🏽👍🏽💯

[@DWFood]

Wow, sounds like you have some great memories connected to olive oil! Glad the video brought back those fond memories for you.

[@LevoPunch]

People spread so much missinformation in the internet it’s ridiculous! The best olive oil in the world comes from Greek and ageian Turkish coast! Forget about Spain

[@Usuario48z_02]

​@@LevoPunchSiento decirte que el aceite de oliva español es el mejor valorado de todos incluso por varios chefs profesionales

[@maily8388]

Traveling on speed trains from Cordoba to Madrid, I saw a forest full of olive trees 🌲 more than Greece and Italy.

[@Ouail98]

@@Usuario48z_02cantidad no es calidad, el aceite español es super transparente y exageradamente procesado. El de marruecos por ejemplo es literalmente zumo, apenas lo filtran.

[@nicholasgregoris3958]

Orange salad has been a common staple in Sicily for centuries.

[@jaimegarcia9408]

And the Andalucía, for example the Málaga, the famous " Málaga salad" IS with Orange, bacalao and olivé.

[@jaimegarcia9408]

Sicily Big influence of spanish cuisine, for the Aragón and spanish Crown

Andalusia and Borges are pure export a high level Evoo. I recommend it every user about this product.

[@susanaescriba977]

Andalucía , is a Spanish Autonomous Community, Borges is a brand of oil that is produced in another Autonomous Community, Catalonia. The Borges brand takes its name from the town where the company is located, Les Borges Blanques, in the province of Lleida.

[@josemiguelmunoz6985]

Broges is pure rubbish. Try olive oil from the south of the province of Córdoba.

[@susanaescriba977]

@@josemiguelmunoz6985 Broges? Borges. De Borges Blanques, Lleida, Catalunya, España. Es un Aceite excelente sobre todo la variedad Arbequina. Aceite de Jaen, Córdoba,....etc? Excelentes también, todos! No hace falta insultar ni menospreciar a nadie.

[@starvingbymidnight]

[@reinhardtsimon143]

How much popularity has the brand 'Carbonell' in Spain?

[@theoliveoilworkshop4907]

It exists but we have so much to choose from, I don’t believe it’s that popular as in other countries.

[@josemiguelmunoz6985]

It's popiuar, but it is expensive and not too good. Try to find Mueloliva.

[@daniperez2335]

It doesn't just exist (It's spanish, of course it exists here) but it's one if not the most sold brand together with La Española, Hojiblanca, La Masía, Koipe, etc. That's not counting the "white brands" sold by the principle supermarkets (Mercadona, Consum, Día....) because they are cheaper. Carbonell is a good comercial brand, but if you want better quality, you go with not so comercial and much more expensive. Where I live, Andalucía, is probably where the best olive oil is and a lot of us own or know someone that has olive trees and makes their own oil, so we have it directly from the "Almazara" (where you make the olive oil). Can't get better than that.

[@cynthiarolfe9329]

hi, I bought some evoo from olive oil lovers and it arrived on sept 14 2023 but the harvest date was oct 2022 .it was a Spanish oil.i was a lil disappointed even tho its use by date id feb 2025. would you keep this or send it back. id like to try cockatoo from Australia..any idea how to obtain ? thx for your time

[@tinakarras7571]

Within one year from harvest is best.This is good oil.

[@josemiguelmunoz6985]

@@tinakarras7571 Error. Olive oil must not have more than a year from the harvest date. In fact a nine months old olive oil has lost a lot of quality.

[@josemiguelmunoz6985]

In the south of Spain, the harvest starts in mid november. Try to buy olive oil milled between december and february of the current year.

[@simptrix007]

Greek or Spain to go for olive oil?

[@Usuario48z_02]

Both countries have tasteful olive oil

[@jaimegarcia9408]

For me, Andalucía refined picual temprano IS other level, and catalán aberquina IS unique.

[@r.awilliams9815]

@@jaimegarcia9408 How was the harvest this year? I'm in need of a fresh picual, you see.

[@jaimegarcia9408]

Why have the old extensión territory in rhe world in Olive. Only Andalucía, im jaen, is a sea of olive cultive. Production the 50% olive in the world. More riche in variety, the more famous, la picual, but too, hojiblanca to Málaga, cornicabra to Córdoba, and my favourite, aberquina, but the aberquina is not andalusian, is catalán aove variety.

[@GarthGoldberg]

The Roman empire was built on it.

[@theoliveoilworkshop4907]

Most of the oil for the RomN empire came from Andalucia;)

[@nicholasgregoris3958]

In my experience, Italy and Greece produce more refined and better tasting olive oil. Greater quantity doesn't always translate into better quality.

[@denebalgiedi1201]

You should widen your experience and try the top-quality Spanish EVOO, some of which have been awarded as the best of the world. We have both quantity and quality.

[@themechanictangerine]

Italy is the biggest importer of olive oil, it packages and sells it as Italian

[@theoliveoilworkshop4907]

Refined oil is oil that has been industrially processed. Maybe you mean delicate? Italian and Greek oils can be sweeter and have notes often of apple and almond. Preference of notes can be personal and depend on what you are cooking.

[@Usuario48z_02]

El aceite italiano está hecho con aceitunas ibéricas que lleváis décadas trayendo de manera clandestina y etiquetandolas como aceite italiano, de que hablas?

[@alexiorum7085]

Italy buys olive oil from Spain...

[@nicholasgregoris3958]

I find many Spanish olive oils too heavy, bitter and overpowering as compared to Italian olive oils which generally speaking strike me as more refined and versatile.

[@alejandroelbachatitas6466]

Good joke

[@theoliveoilworkshop4907]

Try an arbequina variety oil from the north. They are more fruity.

[@Usuario48z_02]

Yes , that's why the spanish olive oil IS the best valued by a huge variety of profesional chefs, right?

[@jaimegarcia9408]

Ohh my goodness, the aberquina IS a incredible spanish oil, IS very delicate flavour. Brands for example , castillo de canena, flor de Andalucía or Márquez de griñón is incredible oil, not overpowering. The Jaén variety picual IS the best aove in the world.

[@cristinar368]

[@LevoPunch]

Forget about Spanish olive oil. The best olive oil you can get is from the Turkish Ageian region. I travelled all around the world and no olive oil had that unique taste!

[@marioiglesias4850]

hahaha good joke

[@theoliveoilworkshop4907]

All olive oil correctly produced can be good;) There is something special about olive oil for those who grew up in the areas of production and that are the memories it has attached. Olive oil definitely is emotional.

Better that a spanish aberquina? 😮😮

[@atlienacct5868]

​@@jaimegarcia9408the Nabali olive oil is better than the Spanish Arbequina, they just can't export from palestine because theyre not allowed to export. The Nabali is the mother of the Arbequina by the way
