I am from Algeria located in Africa to the Mediterranean Sea , organic virgin olive oil is so popular back home , it gives longevity and strong bones , we put dry figs inside organic olive oil jar as strong probiotic especially for those suffering from IBS and digestive system ,
I lived in Morocco. Same! Waking up to smelling olive oil from the press down the road in the cold mountain morning air is THE best wake-up I've ever experienced.
We are a Cypriot family. We have grown up using olive oil for everything. Cold pressed is the best. Oils from Cyprus (Greek or Turkish Cypriots), Greece, Spain and Italy are wonderful pure and can be expensive but truly worth it.
One of the best things I did for my health was to change from using margarine and salad dressing such as Thousand Island dressing and others with a lot of saturated fat, carbohydrates and sugar to using cold pressed extra virgin olive oil.
You've inspiered me, I decided to turn my life around 6 months ago, I weighed almost 120kg and thanks to your tips along with regular daily workouts I've came down to 85kg as of today. I've still got some fat to burn and I'll tune in once my new goal is reached to thank you once again. Keepndoingbwhat you do, it's life changing for so many including myself. Thanks!
Just be careful that the Balsamic Vinegar does not have any added sugars, it is high in enough in natural sugars, so should be consumed sparingly anyway. But a lot of the commercial cheaper ones have added sugars. Now i know the food manufacturers would never do anything that would harm our health nor put profit over quality 🤣🤣🤣🤣so always check what is in everything. 👍👍👍✊
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. 🌞
@@Mike-iq1cn there are many different brands of high quality EVOO. Just look for where it's derived from, it's a green tinge in color, in a glass bottle and that it's organic. Also first cold pressed. And unrefined. Bon appetit.....🌞
it is true that it is very expensive but dont use it to cook or on salads.Use it on its own or on bread, it is enough half soup spoon a day and you will still get all the benefits.With half soup spoon a day your one liter olive oil bottle will last nearly a month
I was born in Italy, my grandma owns an Olive oil tree field in Sicily, the best Olive Oil does NOT cause itchiness at the back of the throat and it's not peppery in taste. The best olive oil in Europe has almost a sweet taste without any bitter/peppery taste and it feels good in your mouth.
You're wrong, one of the ways to know if ingested olive oil causes itching and stuffiness in the throat is better. It's funny to read the information. The better it doesn't cause coughing.
I’m in the UK and tried this olive oil that you showed in this video and in an older video a few months back. It’s honestly the most tasty quality olive oil I’ve had, changes the taste of a normal salad. I’m sure there are some other great ones locally in Italy, Spain and Portugal too and maybe cheaper as not imported to the UK. This one lasted a while but is £20 a bottle! It’s worth it for me but I can imagine some people can’t afford it 😢 . I don’t remember it saying Organic on the bottle but I will check when I next buy it. Sometimes it’s organic but the certificate to get organic is so expensive that they don’t bother. Amazing product thanks for mentioning it, as there are so many brands.
Any particular ones you like? I live in London - there's plenty. I'm Italian, usually we say a good quality evo shouldn't cost less than £10/15 per litre.
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.
@@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!
In Spain olive oil in salad and other type of dishes is very common, Spain produces a lot of high quality olive oil and it's also very commonly use in other Mediterranean countries too.
Every single morning the past few years, first thing, without a doubt, I have always had a teaspoon of EV OO and it has been great for my skin, hair and health!
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.
Interesting how so many people are describing the olive oil "burn" as olive oil "itch" since myself and everyone else I know always describe it as a slight burning sensation :^)
@@__WJK__I refer to it as the olive oil kick. In the back of the throat. I like the taste, but I have to do small amounts, mainly on the final or finished food dish. And of course on salads. 🌞
And seems like you forgot that the smell is also not necessary because nowadays it just like any other crop a lot of chemicals is used to increase the production of it. 😎😁
Thank you Dr Berg,anytime I want to know something in regards to health I turn to you now! Its not just the recomendations but your indepth knowledge of the entire human system that intrigues me! Your actual holistic approach is unmatched!
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.
⬆️ paragraph breaks, please. Just a friendly reminder. If you don't know the **proper** use of paragraph breaks, please, then just stick breaks anywhere.
I only consume organic olive oil, extra virgin. I'm portuguese, and I'm lucky enough to have relatives that have olives, and make cold pressed olive oil, 100% organic.
I do not by any means wish to be a Debbie Downer but organic olive oil is quite expensive and some of us on a strict budget cant aford it. Its sad, but true. Thank you for the video.
So true and sad everything healthy is so expensive! I believe the EVOO from Costco is good fo a decent price. Also Trader Joe's has a real good one AND Aldi also at certain times of the year ... remember a little goes a long way 😊
I was just telling my friend about getting more natural instead of the fake vegetable oils that are high and omega six. One of them was olive oil. Olvia oil and coconut oil. It's good that there's videos like this that just came out that I can send him and also learn some new things for myself too.
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!
I had the privilege of harvesting olives in Portugal and seeing them transformed into premium olive oil that same evening. A wonderful experience. We must be careful and buy only olive oil of first pressure, cold pressed. Ever since I got into the habit of dipping a small piece of bread in good olive oil and eating it every day, I feel better. Merci beaucoup docteur Berg, j’adore écouter vos vidéos !!!
Thanks Dr Eric berg i was tested last year and the results confirmed that i was type 2 diabetic i refused to take medication but following your advices after 4 months the same tests were done just to find out I'm diabetic flee. I wish my father and my sister were still around diabetes killed both of them. So now I'm so careful of what i eat .
Thanks Dr Berg for your easy to watch EV Olive Oil video. To the point. Love it. I’ve been taking about two dessert spoons of EVOO every day for about three weeks and I believe it is reinvigorated my life considerably, I’m 73, my arthritis I’m sure has lessened considerably and brain fog I feel I had for years has lifted as well. Amazing stuff.
Before I buy EVOO I always test to see if is adulterated or not....with kinesiology. In Slovenija of the former Yugoslavia, I lived in a tiny hamlet where the olives were harvested, then pressed into the incredible green-gold oil....something that I really miss along with our wines!
Dr Berg, I highly encourage you to look for and check the benefits of "early harvest extra virgin oil". Its colour is green and has even more polyphenols. It's the best olive oil you can have and the most reputable in Greece. I also have the impression that olives, before they go under the procedure to remove their bitter taste, are richer in polyphenols than olive oil.
First thing in the morning take a table spoon of a thick paste of olive oil mixed with dried & grounded thyme leaves & sesame seeds; after a few hours it will clean you out very well.
At 0:48 it shows the olive oil being poured on a pan to cook. I have always heard (I think even from Dr Berg) that heating olive oil creates a toxic compound, so you should NOT heat it or cook with it. So I'm confused about it being poured into a pan. Can it be heated and cooked with, or not??
Great idea, however that assumes the same brand is available across the entire planet, and when you think a little deeper do you not think that where a "brand" has such vast resources to supply very many millions of people that "they" oil will in fact be coming from very many farms, regions and countries and blended to produce a 'taste' that conforms to marketing tests? Unique small regional labels are the way to go.
The timing of this video is unbelievable. Just yesterday I stared at my mom's Olive Oil Capsules container & questioned their health benefit (the label just say something like "beneficial for health" but no detailed/further explanation). Thank you for helping me open my mind about it, Doctor!
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.
Surah Tin:1-4). Olives are the gift from heaven (Jannah) to mankind. Apart from the Date fruit, olives are also considered of utmost importance in Islam. Olive and its tree has been mentioned a number of times both in the Quran Dr other topic I always listen you encourage is fasting, we Muslim Prophet Mohamed SCW asked us to fast Monday & Thursday every week. Although we fast month of Ramadan every year.
Another tip is to buy the 5 litre cans (you can always transfer it to airtight glass bottles with no headspace after opening). This one thing will help you cut down the cost by about half !!!
One of the many blessings of living in San Diego is that I'm able to get local olive oil. The olives are grown and pressed just a 45-minute drive away (30 minutes in the Tesla) by a company called, Temecula Olive Oil. They have a few different varieties (and degrees of ripeness) you can choose from, and they all taste Heavenly. Pricey, yes, at $25 for a 12-ounce dark bottle, but so well worth it.
I do buy organic olive oil directly from italy and a small family farm and agree on the burning spicy sensation, mine is really spicey. At least some itching when its a good olive oil high in polyphenols. If you care less about taste but more about health benefits then I would pay attention to its spiciness since thats an indicator that the olive oil has high levels of polyphenols which are beneficial and what you want
Such wonderful & beautiful tree.. Who's virtuous health benefits have been written about in Holy Bible & Greco-Roman Mythology ⚡🏛⚡Thank you for sharing. 💖🌈
Thanks for the presentation and analysis. I'm living in Thailand. I get what I can get. I go through lots of olive oil. Cold pressed extra virgin is the best I can do. 64 .. still running hills and train muay thai every other day.. 85..90 degrees. I'm still in the game..
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
I just started using la española extra virgin olive oil from Spain 🇪🇸 A large glass bottle with little bits floating inside. Amazing. 2 tablespoons a day has made such a difference to my health. la española extra virgin olive oil, founded in 1840
Hello Dr Berg! First of all thank you so much for all the good knowledge you share to us. I've been going through keto from the last month, though my lifestyle is really active as i do swimming in the early morning and weightlifting in the evening and after around 25 days I've started feeling no energy to perform well in my physical activities, could you please give me any suggestion, it will be highly appreciated. Thank you
@@markmoore9217 hi thank you for your reply, i usually have Himalayan salt and no table salt in my kitchen, i weigh 70 Kg of muscle mass an usually I'm having 120-130 grams of protein everyday along with the fats I'm getting, plus i take Branch chained aminos everyday eat vegetables everyday....so i think it can be a deficiency of electrolytes which are making it difficult to absorb it all ..
@@therichbuddha3277 i get it, but on a keto the body can still take energy from fats? Moreover i was performing good till now on a strict keto mode with less than 10 g carbs per day....now suddenly this reaction happened with my body
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.
Yes it should be criminal what they put in the food and say it’s safe. And they wonder why Americans are fat. The food pyramid is wrong and they won’t update it . Too many lobbyists pushing the bad stuff as good.
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.
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.
@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.
Hey Dr. Berg! We are currently in Italy and because of your olive oil recommendation, we visited the San Michele olive oil factory in Sandicci, Florence and had a case of oil shipped to us in the states. When I spoke to the kind woman working that day and told her of my interest in the Laudemio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, she mentioned your name at the same time I did! She knows of your visits to their factory, obviously! I just want to thank you SO much for recommending it and I can’t wait to start using it every day. GRAZIE MILLE!! 🫒
Correct. If you like, you can try my recommendation. Please see the link in the description section of this video: ruclips.net/video/5Y-i1dGqAOc/видео.html
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.
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.
Dr. Berg is the coolest. Love his advocacy for us to be healthier human beings and explaining the science along with it. I am buying the real olive oil now and I eat fermented foods more often to get my K2 vitamins
Olive oil is not only a food but also a cultural element in the mediterranenan countries, I am from Tunisia 🇹🇳 and for us you cannot call breakfast a breakfast if you don't have a plate of olive oil there and dig small piece of bread into it
"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! 🍓✨🇫🇷"
@michaelconnell2045 I absolutely Rebuke you in the name of the lord! Go stand and face the corner; then proceed to St. Elsewhere forever! Good riddance!
Picual of Castillo de Canena, the renowned olive oil guide FLOS OLEI named the oil “Best Olive Oil in the World” five times in a row. The olive oil from the Picual olive again received the highest score of 100 points in 2024 and was included in the olive oil hall of fame. There are many test winners such as Crudo Sei Cinque Zero olive oil, Caieta from Cosmo di Russo olive oil, Moulin Dozol Autrand, etc... Also Italian oils that Italians love, such as Laudemio olive oil from Frescobaldi, Zahara olive oil, Quattrociocchi Olivastro olive oil... Greece ( Crete, 5000 years ago there were olive fields in the Peloponnese), Istria in Croatia also has good olive oils, then Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, Morocco, Portugal, Syria, Algeria, Egypt... Wherever there is a lot of sun 😅
I hate talking about olive oil because it makes me hungry. I used to work with a guy from Greece whose mom used to mail him olive oil and he would catch his own fish, even tuna. Wonderful stuff
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.
"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]"
Thank You Dr Berg for the truth about all oils, good and bad. Saturated Oils are needed on the skin and help to digest many vitamins and minerals. Saturated fats are extremely important to health. Oils and understanding oils changed my life and how I found Dr Berg 5 years ago. 👍👍👍👍👍. I lost 80 pounds eating fat.
Just gotta say I love olive oil as I don’t eat any other oils besides olive, so glad to know that it has a lot of benefits and can help us with so many other things ❤ Love you doctor 👨⚕️
So many health gurus on YT are swayed by every new study, and end up contradicting themselves every other week. You actually put in the time to do your own research to identify the good studies from the bought ones, and make it all make sense. Thank you!! Where do I submit questions for the lives? 💜💜💜
The struggle is real. The number of Doctors, gurus & poorly done studies, that put out contradictory information is enough to drive a person crazy, for sure.
I live in southern Albania. I get the real real stuff here. When you gather olives for the press, they already start to drip from the burlap sacks on the back of the tractor. Tractor olive oil is the best of the best if you can get it!
Thank you Dr Berg for this health information, regarding olive!🤗 I love olive oil inside and out. And, I have No Doubt!😂 P.S. Do you Dr. Berg or anyone reading this, know or have used "Zucchi organic extra virgin olive oil from italy? If so, what are your thoughts? Thank you! 😊❤️
Great Video 😊 I went on line a few months ago 😊 the olive oil farm & brought a bottle 🍾 of olive oil to try 😊never looked back & many other things they sell 😊 just watching who they are & what they stand for is uplifting 😊 if Dr. Berg ever suggest a great product as he does not normally I will always check it out 😊😊I brought the olive oil bottle for a Christmas present to a friend & she was absolutely delighted 😊
we have an olive mill here in Queen Creek, outside the Phoenix area, really good..they cold press it and you can tour the facility and they have a restaurant too..The Olive Mill, the best
In Australia we have a lot of EVOO , grown , in many cases grown by Italians in the grape region that has a similar climate and soils to Italy. The one I get has a slight grassy/ peppery taste. I have 20 mls of oil with 20 mls of ACV every night as it really helps with sleep as well. You can feel the difference.🇦🇺Thankyou Dr Berg !
We've been using this blessed oil to eat & to wipe our bodies with it for more than 1400 years because Prophet Mohamed PBAH taught us to do so.. But it's so amazing to know these facts ...
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
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.😢
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?
You are very popular in India, from where I have a request. In India, cooking is extremely high heat for which Olive oil is usually neither recommended, nor affordable given the large size of families and high oil cost. The healthier alternative suggested to us has been cold pressed Mustard oil, but the only articles related to this I found are from India and are largely Ayurveda based. Possible for you to do a video on mustard oil v/s Olive oil? Or just mustard oil alone?
love how youre bringing attention to glyphosphate and what it does to the human body, youre a saint brother. i really think glyphosphate is going to be the next DDT and it should be phased out soon due to its health effects
I am from Algeria located in Africa to the Mediterranean Sea , organic virgin olive oil is so popular back home , it gives longevity and strong bones , we put dry figs inside organic olive oil jar as strong probiotic especially for those suffering from IBS and digestive system ,
Good idea 👍 Thanks 🙏

Thank you for the information 😊 something I will try 😊
I lived in Morocco. Same! Waking up to smelling olive oil from the press down the road in the cold mountain morning air is THE best wake-up I've ever experienced.

Another tip: always purchase your EVOO or OO in dark, glass bottles.
The brand Berg is talking about came in clear bottles.
We are a Cypriot family. We have grown up using olive oil for everything. Cold pressed is the best. Oils from Cyprus (Greek or Turkish Cypriots), Greece, Spain and Italy are wonderful pure and can be expensive but truly worth it.
Portugal have some great olive oil too. Azeite.
Thank you for letting me know I will try some.
One of the best things I did for my health was to change from using margarine and salad dressing such as Thousand Island dressing and others with a lot of saturated fat, carbohydrates and sugar to using cold pressed extra virgin olive oil.
Cold pressed with only mechanical methods is the only way to do olive oil.
Love Cyprus! Cypriots and olive oil! ❤

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. 🌞
Can you recommend a quality brand organic extra virgin olive oil? Thanks.

The problem is the cost is so prohibitive. Being poor is really bad for your health.
it is true that it is very expensive but dont use it to cook or on salads.Use it on its own or on bread, it is enough half soup spoon a day and you will still get all the benefits.With half soup spoon a day your one liter olive oil bottle will last nearly a month
I agree with that!
It’s only 8 dollars on Amazon for organic EVOO. it’s real it burns the back of your throat.

Isn’t olive oil high in antioxidants ? Antioxidants is what causes that burning sensation.. many people have said this
It will if you put chilli pepper in the bottle with the oil, which some do.

I’m in the UK and tried this olive oil that you showed in this video and in an older video a few months back. It’s honestly the most tasty quality olive oil I’ve had, changes the taste of a normal salad.

The extra virgin olive oils from Aldi and Lidl are really good too. About £ 4 per bottle. Been using for years. .
Organic, cold-pressed and unfiltered. Very expensive in the UK but it's the best.
Any particular ones you like? I live in London - there's plenty. I'm Italian, usually we say a good quality evo shouldn't cost less than £10/15 per litre.
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.
@@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!
@@marksmithj9892 Filtered is generally used for cooking but I do not cook with olive oil.
In Spain olive oil in salad and other type of dishes is very common, Spain produces a lot of high quality olive oil and it's also very commonly use in other Mediterranean countries too.
I'm Spanish and you're 100% right. For me, Spanish olive oil is the best 😄
Absolutely agree.
Hi Peter ,can u help me with best wholesalers or farmers from Spain ,I would like to trade to India .
Do you know about Rafael Salgado olive oil?
Every single morning the past few years, first thing, without a doubt, I have always had a teaspoon of EV OO and it has been great for my skin, hair and health!
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.
Interesting how so many people are describing the olive oil "burn" as olive oil "itch" since myself and everyone else I know always describe it as a slight burning sensation :^)
Agreed - there is a lot more than a prickly feeling in your throat
@@__WJK__I refer to it as the olive oil kick. In the back of the throat. I like the taste, but I have to do small amounts, mainly on the final or finished food dish. And of course on salads. 🌞
And seems like you forgot that the smell is also not necessary because nowadays it just like any other crop a lot of chemicals is used to increase the production of it.
😎😁
@@__WJK__ Yes, definitely a slight burning for me, too. LOVE IT! If it weren't so expensive I'd drink it neat, LOL!
Thank you Dr Berg,anytime I want to know something in regards to health I turn to you now! Its not just the recomendations but your indepth knowledge of the entire human system that intrigues me! Your actual holistic approach is unmatched!
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.
Thanks for that splendid clarification on oils and olives. I learned a lot from that
⬆️ paragraph breaks, please. Just a friendly reminder.

Linda Sue..I can make the breaks in my own mind ...can't you?
I only consume organic olive oil, extra virgin. I'm portuguese, and I'm lucky enough to have relatives that have olives, and make cold pressed olive oil, 100% organic.
Wonderful and very lucky 👍
I've been adding this to my mom's (80 years "young" battling dementia, diabetes, and high blood pressure) salad
I do not by any means wish to be a Debbie Downer but organic olive oil is quite expensive and some of us on a strict budget cant aford it. Its sad, but true. Thank you for the video.
A trick I've learned over the years, is to drop hints, or put things like that on you Birthday & Christmas wish list :^)
So true and sad everything healthy is so expensive! I believe the EVOO from Costco is good fo a decent price. Also Trader Joe's has a real good one AND Aldi also at certain times of the year ... remember a little goes a long way 😊
@@__WJK__Great n wise idea!! Thank you for sharing 👍
Eat olives instead.
@@allison471the ones from Aldi usually say “made in Europe”
I’d try and find the ones where they list the farm or the single location.
Thank you Dr. Berg for saving many lives with your amazing knowledge!
Thank you so much for those very kind words!
Indeed ❤❤❤
I was just telling my friend about getting more natural instead of the fake vegetable oils that are high and omega six. One of them was olive oil. Olvia oil and coconut oil. It's good that there's videos like this that just came out that I can send him and also learn some new things for myself too.
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!
I had the privilege of harvesting olives in Portugal and seeing them transformed into premium olive oil that same evening. A wonderful experience. We must be careful and buy only olive oil of first pressure, cold pressed. Ever since I got into the habit of dipping a small piece of bread in good olive oil and eating it every day, I feel better.
Merci beaucoup docteur Berg, j’adore écouter vos vidéos !!!
Holiday home in Tunisia where olive trees and oil are so important in everyday life xx
Thanks Dr Eric berg i was tested last year and the results confirmed that i was type 2 diabetic i refused to take medication but following your advices after 4 months the same tests were done just to find out I'm diabetic flee. I wish my father and my sister were still around diabetes killed both of them. So now I'm so careful of what i eat .
Wonderful! Well done!
Thanks Dr Berg for your easy to watch EV Olive Oil video. To the point. Love it. I’ve been taking about two dessert spoons of EVOO every day for about three weeks and I believe it is reinvigorated my life considerably, I’m 73, my arthritis I’m sure has lessened considerably and brain fog I feel I had for years has lifted as well. Amazing stuff.
Before I buy EVOO I always test to see if is adulterated or not....with kinesiology.
In Slovenija of the former Yugoslavia, I lived in a tiny hamlet where the olives were harvested, then pressed into the incredible green-gold oil....something that I really miss along with our wines!
Thanks for sharing!
Slo❤️
Dr Berg, I highly encourage you to look for and check the benefits of "early harvest extra virgin oil". Its colour is green and has even more polyphenols. It's the best olive oil you can have and the most reputable in Greece. I also have the impression that olives, before they go under the procedure to remove their bitter taste, are richer in polyphenols than olive oil.
I found out that the Spanish olive oil is the best quality, I always buy extra virgin and use it for salads.
I also love Spanish evoo❤
what Spanish brand is the best?
First thing in the morning take a table spoon of a thick paste of olive oil mixed with dried & grounded thyme leaves & sesame seeds; after a few hours it will clean you out very well.
At 0:48 it shows the olive oil being poured on a pan to cook. I have always heard (I think even from Dr Berg) that heating olive oil creates a toxic compound, so you should NOT heat it or cook with it. So I'm confused about it being poured into a pan. Can it be heated and cooked with, or not??
I would like to see you choose the 3 best olive oils we can find at our local grocery stores please.
Great idea, however that assumes the same brand is available across the entire planet, and when you think a little deeper do you not think that where a "brand" has such vast resources to supply very many millions of people that "they" oil will in fact be coming from very many farms, regions and countries and blended to produce a 'taste' that conforms to marketing tests?
Unique small regional labels are the way to go.
The timing of this video is unbelievable. Just yesterday I stared at my mom's Olive Oil Capsules container & questioned their health benefit (the label just say something like "beneficial for health" but no detailed/further explanation). Thank you for helping me open my mind about it, Doctor!
Hi, it would be better if your mum bough good quality olive oil from a shop and take a t spoon full every day, I take a desert spoonful.
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.
Who else loves Dr Berg ?
Me
Me also. Good morning
@@EricHalverson83 Good Morning.
Thank you guys. Have a nice day!
Thanks for all the love and support!
I always had olive oil in every daily meal, I am the only one in the family who is not fat and never needed glasses.
Surah Tin:1-4). Olives are the gift from heaven (Jannah) to mankind. Apart from the Date fruit, olives are also considered of utmost importance in Islam. Olive and its tree has been mentioned a number of times both in the Quran
Dr other topic I always listen you encourage is fasting, we Muslim Prophet Mohamed SCW asked us to fast Monday & Thursday every week. Although we fast month of Ramadan every year.
Another tip is to buy the 5 litre cans (you can always transfer it to airtight glass bottles with no headspace after opening). This one thing will help you cut down the cost by about half !!!
Here in Portugal we use extra virgin olive oil hundreds years ago, we have an olive tree with 3000 years, portuguese consume over 8 liters year
One of the many blessings of living in San Diego is that I'm able to get local olive oil. The olives are grown and pressed just a 45-minute drive away (30 minutes in the Tesla) by a company called, Temecula Olive Oil. They have a few different varieties (and degrees of ripeness) you can choose from, and they all taste Heavenly. Pricey, yes, at $25 for a 12-ounce dark bottle, but so well worth it.
Thanks again, Dr. Berg! Have learned so much about keeping the body healthy from your videos... you're a God send!
Glad you enjoy my videos! Thanks for watching!

@@Drberg...plz suggest a brand of olive oil for us Indian s ....all that we het here is fake mostly
I do buy organic olive oil directly from italy and a small family farm and agree on the burning spicy sensation, mine is really spicey. At least some itching when its a good olive oil high in polyphenols. If you care less about taste but more about health benefits then I would pay attention to its spiciness since thats an indicator that the olive oil has high levels of polyphenols which are beneficial and what you want

Its really alarming how many "chemicals and ingredients" are banned in Europe you Americans consume daily.
Yes it should be criminal what they put in the food and say it’s safe. And they wonder why Americans are fat. The food pyramid is wrong and they won’t update it . Too many lobbyists pushing the bad stuff as good.
Indeed it is, which is why most Americans are sickly.
You said it like we consume it intentionally
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.
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.
@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.

Hey Dr. Berg! We are currently in Italy and because of your olive oil recommendation, we visited the San Michele olive oil factory in Sandicci, Florence and had a case of oil shipped to us in the states. When I spoke to the kind woman working that day and told her of my interest in the Laudemio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, she mentioned your name at the same time I did! She knows of your visits to their factory, obviously! I just want to thank you SO much for recommending it and I can’t wait to start using it every day. GRAZIE MILLE!! 🫒
Wonderful! My pleasure!
The problem is finding authentic olive oil. So much of what you find on shelf stores is loaded with anything but olive oil.
Correct. If you like, you can try my recommendation. Please see the link in the description section of this video: ruclips.net/video/5Y-i1dGqAOc/видео.html
I've ordered from the farm he recommends twice. I love the oil and great customer service.
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.
Thanks for sharing!
Hence why here in the UK we're so mad about the 'Mediterranean diet' with all that virgin oil.

"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.

There are many test winners such as Crudo Sei Cinque Zero olive oil, Caieta from Cosmo di Russo olive oil, Moulin Dozol Autrand, etc... Also Italian oils that Italians love, such as Laudemio olive oil from Frescobaldi, Zahara olive oil, Quattrociocchi Olivastro olive oil... Greece ( Crete, 5000 years ago there were olive fields in the Peloponnese), Istria in Croatia also has good olive oils, then Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, Morocco, Portugal, Syria, Algeria, Egypt... Wherever there is a lot of sun 😅
I really want to know. I just cooking with it and was thinking about it. ❤
Awesome. Enjoy there!
I hate talking about olive oil because it makes me hungry. I used to work with a guy from Greece whose mom used to mail him olive oil and he would catch his own fish, even tuna. Wonderful stuff
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.
"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]"
Nothing beats Greek/Turkish olive oil for me. That region has the best olives.

We've been using this blessed oil to eat & to wipe our bodies with it for more than 1400 years because Prophet Mohamed PBAH taught us to do so..
But it's so amazing to know these facts ...
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
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.😢
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?
You are very popular in India, from where I have a request. In India, cooking is extremely high heat for which Olive oil is usually neither recommended, nor affordable given the large size of families and high oil cost. The healthier alternative suggested to us has been cold pressed Mustard oil, but the only articles related to this I found are from India and are largely Ayurveda based. Possible for you to do a video on mustard oil v/s Olive oil? Or just mustard oil alone?
