🇮🇹 He is so happy to be explaining this. He is in the zone. 🇮🇹

[@liannaclaypool8685]

Greek here🇬🇷 My family back home makes their own oil and sends it to us. Spitiko and Iliada are both really good Greek brands that you can easily get in the US for a decent price.

[@GM-tw4el]

I've always said Greek olive oil is the best, especially from crete, but it's very hard to find unless you go online or buy in Greece. I live in Ireland and it's generally always Italian in supermarkets. Scottish rapeseed oil is a good alternative though to olive oil because it has alot of the health benefits, but you can use at higher temperatures.

[@CindiCares]

I would love more tutorials from you guys. Even a “Invite to Dinner” w/ recipes. Just do it your style with your style of fun and humor… and love! “I’m tired of all the KZbin tutorials looking the same.”

[@breanapadilla3661]

I love how serious he is about his food. However, can't lie, Italians know great food!

[@patriciaadams7965]

You convinced me to go to the website and buy the 3 bottle set. I always did wonder why the olive oil at our fav Italian restaurant tasted different than the olive oil I brought in the store.

[@the_star_aries9297]

My husband’s parents are olive farmers! they import to Italy and the US! Their olives and oil are SO amazing

[@pliny8308]

Problem is, Alessio, I'm from Liguria, and our olive oil is much sweeter than Tuscan oil. Having grown up with it, Tuscan oil is too peppery for me. Peppery doesn't mean better. The type of olive and also the type of soil makes a big difference.

[@FleaChristenson]

That pricing is the same with shrimp. We look for shrimp and seafood from the Gulf of Mexico, not China.

[@mikeyates7931]

I'm a PROUD ITALIAN Man , and I too am very picky about My Olive Oil ; here in Maryland we have a store called , Redners , and after being disappointed by so many of the "Name - Brands" I decided to take a chance on their store brand , and it was Wonderful 😃 it's the ONLY Olive Oil I get now 🇮🇹 Molto Bene , Jessi : Alessio has taught you well 🇮🇹

[@PaigeTheArtist]

The more information y'all can share the better. I love learning about real Italy and what real Italians like and how they live. It helps to incorporate the best into my own life. Thank you both

[@michellescukanec2359]

I also have found the Entimio olive oil recently and will enjoy the robust over my daily salads otherwise to cook with is going to be Lucini. I learned about this about 2 years ago and so happy that you guys are enlightening as well!! Many thanks 🌼

[@deaquin_]

Is Lucini good?

[@gzhang207]

Another point to bear in mind is that olive oil is really fruit oil/juice that has expiration date. So avoid purchasing large bottle unless you can consume before it expires. By the way I have used the expired olive oil to shine my leather shoes/belt instead of dumping it.

[@danemon8423]

but i mean it takes some time to expire, you have time to finish the bottle by then.

[@Tracy-wr7mj]

also on your feet etc

[@jenhamerlinck7576]

I've been buying Entimo ever since I watched your video, and we love it. It's worth the extra money to get the good stuff.

[@Msfelixthecatz]

I ordered Partanna Asaro Sicily Grown Extra Virgin Olive Oil and it arrived today. I've never tried anything like it! I can taste the grassy, peppery notes quite strongly. Now I understand why you describe Costco olive oil as buttery. I can't wait to use the 'real' olive oil!! Thank you for recommending it and for this video! I'm half Sicilian and very ashamed not knowing this, but really nobody ever told me until now, lol. I love your videos!!

[@desormais22]

So disappointed with the Costco olive oil because that’s been our staple the last couple years. Thanks so much for educating people about this!!

[@mischellesinclair1393]

Is there a difference between Costco Olive Oil and Organic Costco Olive Oil?

[@BlessingsfromNorthIdaho]

@@mischellesinclair1393there is the point that they are both in plastic.

Is it important to consider - virgin - extra virgin - cold pressed - first press - when buying olive oil? Thanks for your videos. I enjoy.

[@jazzcatt]

@@ThePasinis I have a question. I have heard that olive oil burns and turns bad with heat when cooking. Is this true? If not, what olive oil is good for cooking?

[@mcoon91]

As a cook... i really enjoy the information given today. Thank you!

[@WendysWildWorld]

...And this whole time I thought I was eating healthier to only eat plastic! I never thought of this. Also, I never thought about why some things may cost more, including the fact about fair pay to the farmers. I would rather pay more for quality product and know that my money also helps support an actual family, not just some large industry who doesn't care about what they are serving. Your video has been very educational and will help me learn to choose a better olive oil. Thank you so much. Can you do a cooking video? Chicken picatta? 🐔

[@ThePasinis]

yes, the cost depends on many factors, think that 1 liter of olive oil it takes a whole tree of olives so the big companies to mix the olive oil with other products such as butter

[@katem7294]

Fair pay for farmers is imporant I. Many things, including coffee and chocolate and all produce! The rate of the s word is higher among farmers than veterans, they are over leveraged and can’t provide for families

[@myfavs3530]

I often get my olive oil from The Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club. T.J. Robinson sources the 100% olive oil he offers from all over the world, and every one I've had has been great!

Well, I’m sold, thanks for the info, big time! Just ordered Entimio. 👍

[@griffinina]

Yep. Classico tastes just flat, oil & nothing else. There’s no spices aftertaste. Thank you for making this video! Now I know what to look for in olive oil!

[@kaylambirch]

Loved the video. I never really realized how drastic the difference was and especially learning about how bad the plastic is and that the polyphenols are lost. Thanks for the info. I stayed in Italy last summer for a few months and the olive oil there just can’t be beat but I quickly forgot and returned to the Bertolli brand that to me is the cheapest with still good quality but now I’m not too sure

Yeah that's what I've always known, that good olive oil comes in glass bottles, not plastic. And the good ones usually have that piece in the neck of the bottle that helps you pour it slowly.

[@malibu9899]

Also olive oil in the can is the real thing, it keeps out the light.

[@anita64]

@@malibu9899 In my country, we don't have olive oil in cans, only in bottles. Or maybe they do have them, but they don't have them in any of the places where I buy my olive oil. Up until now, I've never even heard of olive oil in cans!

Sometimes it is hard on a limited budget. Are there other olive oils that are good also in a different price range?

I very rarely use olive oil anymore for this reason. I switched over to butter and ghee for frying/baking, and I only use olive oil for my homemade salad dressings/vinaigrettes

[@ThePasinis]

To be honest! NO!! I'm sorry :( unfortunately in America there is no good cheap olive oil available! no one checks quality and they sell you no good olive oil and they lie to you! this is the hard truth in this industry!

[@musingsofatradwife]

I dont think you're supposed to heat olive oil. Something about the heat causing it to break down and become toxic, similar to what he explained about the plastic taste when the bottles are in hot environment.

[@zogzog1063]

@@musingsofatradwife Somebody (can't remember who - maybe Sten Ekberg) made a list of heat points of various oils. Basically you can cook with any oil but they all have different heat points. Ghee is best for high temperatures. I only cook with Olive / Avoacado / Coconut oil if I know I will not be going very hot.

About the sealing… should I not have a spout on my olive oil jar for drizzling? Does that let it go bad?

[@TheTinkerersWife]

A friend served us olive oil from France she brought back from her trip. It was fragrant and the most delicious oil,fruity with a light peppery finish. I've wondered how to figure out what is what here in the states. A California brand started producing an oil a few years back. Nice and peppery and now they have blends. It's better than others I've tried.

@The Pasinis I seen that you have the Costco brand in your oil holder.. Do you use the Costco brand for cooking and the more expensive brand for the flavor?

[@honhi96825]

I just looked at my bottle of Bertolli (my cooking oil) and yes, it does list numerous countries BUT the oil is not a mix. The box with the lot number and best used date has the country of origin, in this case it is ES - Spain. So read the label carefully. The list of countries are where the olives could come from but not necessarily for the bottle you’re buying.

[@kristinenelson9376]

Is olive oil like wine in that different kinds of olives are used to produce different flavors or does it all come from one type of olive?

[@kd6447]

Can you recommend one that’s extra olive oil decent around 10-15 dollars? I’m Asian American, so we don’t use alot of olive oil around the house to justify for it except for pan fry. We don’t cook like the restaurant where the food is dip and cover with oil and we don’t eat fry chicken, only air fry(healthier). And we don’t put oil on top of spaghetti or pizza like your other vids.

[@mark-be9mq]

Pompeian used to be in glass jars, now almost only in plastic. It does effect the flavor.

[@dawnwoodward5359]

Recently Costco had 1 litter glass bottles of EVOO from "protected geographical indication" of Toscano (Tuscany) with very official looking seals like I see on Italian wines. What I bought was October November December 2020 harvest with max acidity of 0.5% I wish I had bought more than 1 bottle because I could not find it the next time I was there. I think it cost about $16, but I'm not certain. It is the Kirkland brand, their private label. It's really good. Reminds me of what my friend in Italy sent me from their parent's small orchard in Sardinia, or what I have had in Greece. I am wondering if you were able to try this? If so, what did you think?
