This video was fantastic, so informative and easy to understand. A cheat sheet of what to look for (with examples of brands if that's possible) would be amazing
Very informative video. Olive oil seems to be a bit of a minefield finding one that is worth paying the price for. It would be great if you could suggest some to try along with the ones in the video and where to buy them, it is so easy to get ripped off. Are there any supermarket ones that are actually worth buying?
Thank you for a very interesting discussion. I have been living in the Peloponnese for 16 years now, just south of Kalamata, in a small olive grove of just 28 trees of the Koroneiki variety. We harvest our olives and, obviously, use exclusively olive oil from our own tiny estate. Usually, we harvest early to mid November, and this last season’s oil had an acidity of 0.4%. Next year, I will try and get the polyphenols tested as I’m very interested (I’m sure it’s pretty high). We don’t use any chemicals, just chicken manure every second year. If our harvest is big enough … sadly, last year was a bad year for everyone … we ship some of our oil back to the U.K. to sell or give to family and close friends. Needless to say, everyone who tries it, loves it! One friend did a blind tasting with an expert from France, our oil, his oil and a supermarket extra virgin oil … he chose our oil as the best of the three. We were very happy. I may be biased, but I think the oil from this region is the best in the world.
So interesting, I am gutted been buying wrong olive oil for years but change starts now. Please do an episode on balsamic vinegar - used a lot in the mediterranean as well and paired with olive oil - so hard to find a good brand that one can trust!
Great video, very helpful! I'd love advice on how to store a high polyphenol olive oil. Or did I miss it? I pour a little in a spray bottle that I keep in the cabinet. I put the remainder of the bottle in the fridge. However, I recently read that it's bad to chill the oil, let it come to room temp to refill the spray bottle, then put it back in the fridge. Something about crystals forming from repeatedly chilling the oil. Is that correct?
The best quality and tastiest olive comes from palestine, and other middle eastern countries etc, but no one in the uk promotes them . They are only available in Arab or Asian shops and stores 🙄 They have more aroma and freshness as compared to brands sold in supermarkets, that taste stale.
Why was the Zaytuna product from Palestine positioned to be hidden throughout most of this episode?! Moreover, before Dr Simon could finish discussing it, it was very promptly put back down🤔

So does taking Virgin Olive Oil daily mean You end up with a Large stomach?
No
Does this have to be 2 hours long?
I was disappointed because high-quality Italian EVO from the south of Italy wasn't mentioned. 😢
Turkey is the third largest olive oil produces in the world, but the name is not even mentioned. I wonder why?
Probably because most people associate gravy with turkey, not olive oil 😉
Did you watch? The second one tasted from Türkiye no?
@@EssayEmB Yes I did, but when I sent the earlier message I haven't finished watching.
Huge amounts of extra virgin olive oil every day..? True story about the Greeks 🙊
❤️💖🙏❤️💖
I've had the Judas experience
2 hours long?! I won’t even think of listening to it!!
At 41 calories a teaspoon....2 tbs would be 242 calories. That's a lot of cals out of my 1000 cals a day diet.
Yep
Who in the fk only eats 1000 calories a day
@@chrismacfly6122Fat people 😊
Just go wild & eat 1200 calories a day.😉
Olive oil makes me gain weight. Forget it. No oil for me. Eat nuts and olives instead.
