No maybe this person isn’t telling the truth? Just because he says doesn’t mean it’s true? He gives no evidence but his word and that makes it true? Geez think about it people?
Eating less and not adding more and more stuff is actually healthier. Cut sugar and eat less carb or eat sweet potato, drink tea/dark chocolate and check out intermittent fasting. Also don't eat much fruit because many fruits contain much sugar. Boom healthy. So, expensive it's not.
Actually it's not a pain in the ass. Just do intermittent fasting. Cut out carbs and sugar and if you do want to eat carbs and sugar make sure it's in moderation.
Best tip: put a little bit of that oil on a plate and in the fridge for a 24 hours if it turns white and jelly like vaseline its pure, if it stays the same it’s fake. That’s how my parents have been doing it for the past 40 years. Pure olive oil when put in the cold is not suppose to stay like oil consistency.
It's a good investment for health. Too bad we can't know how much exactly our return will be. 😅 I listen to advice and try to adjust based on my spending limit.
You know I heard a friend say recently “You either pay now by paying more for better quality food or you pay later when your medical bills start pile as time goes on. In the end you’re paying high no matter what” I no longer bitch about how expensive it is to eat better after I heard that.
Shop at Aldi, Costco, and Trader Joe's bruh. Then as soon as you get home, portion all your meat out and freeze it. Buy frozen vegetables and frozen fruit. If your cheese has been out for a while, freeze the rest of it. Make your own universal seasoning and use it in everything. Make all of your sauces yourself. Only eat 500 calorie meals. If you need more calories, boil some lentils and add avocado oil and you can add seasoning like turmeric and cumin. And you can buy pea protein powder in bulk. Cook only what you intend to eat in one meal, no leftovers. The biggest way I lose money from food is spoilage. If you're not close to an Aldi, Costco, or Trader Joe's, make a trip once a month, bring it home and put it in a large icebox. My food bill has plummeted, despite the fact that I'm eating healthy food.
He's just speaking about the quality of the olive oil without really saying it. Try to buy olive oil from Italy if you want the best for flavor and quality for the price. Trader Joe's has pure Italian olive oil that's great for direct eating (oil on bread, pasta etc.) as well as Costco's KS Italian (labelled) olive oil - not the California or the Mediterranean blends) - avoid those is what Bobby is saying rather unclearly.
Side note: olive oil is also light sensitive. If you buy olive oil in a clear container, it is either not olive oil or no longer has the nutrients that you expect from olive oil.
Thank you ill keep that in mind. I have a question im kinda retarded so the bottle behind is the one i always get the little green giy with the green hat and the sky background and it comes with a qr code to show where its coming from what do you think of that one in terms of extra certified olive oil because if its bad ill change it :(
Funny...but we know we can't trust that either anymore either.... (Great Documentary ('The Poisoner's Story') on Y.Tb. ; shows the FDA was formed to protect mega corporations.)
I used to work at an artisan olive oil shop. What he’s saying is dead on the money. Simply put when you taste, real extra-virgin olive oil It will either have a fruity note at the end of it, or a peppery note at the end of it. Once you’ve tasted the real thing, you never forget it.
Fruity ones though good are not the top quality the quality of the olive oil is measured in the acidity and when you have less acidity it gets more and more peppery to the point where the minimum acidity and the just of the press will make you wanna cough if you eat it straight
@@7sevyn7_ I can’t really do that I’m afraid because when I worked for the folks I signed a nondisclosure agreement that basically said I could never tell people what vineyards we were partnered with.

@@xaviercruz4763 i’m afraid I can’t remember all the labels, it’s bin almost 2 years since I left the business, arbequina was one of my favorites. We also carried a lot of oils that had been infused with other flavors. I was a big fan of the lemon oil because the lemons were added at the point press. So it tasted fresh and didn’t have that cooked flavor. I wish the same could’ve been said for the basil oil. No offense to anybody who loves the taste of cooked basil but I prefer mine raw. Of the EVOO‘s I tended to gravitate to oils that had a lower polyphenol count. We always had them lined up from lowest to highest so super taster could find the ones that were right for them. Basically I would go for oils that had a fruity flavor anytime I made a sauce that was spicy. Anytime I made a sauce that was too sweet. I would use an oil with a high polyphenol count so the peppiness could help balance it.
Also If you refrigerate it, for several hours and it doesn't solidify and it stays a liquid, it's adulterated. I've tested many. Great advice Been doing this for years
The FDA should be routinely and frequently testing olive oils and honeys for additives and degrees of purity. There should be criminal charges against producers, exporters, importers, and retailers of substandard cooking oils and honeys.
They do - I'm a retired analytical food chemist that did the analysis and it continues still today. HMF (Hydroxymethylfurfural) iis tested for in honey (to verify processing temperatures) as well as if other sugars are added (adulterated honey).

@@hydnumrepandum214 That's great news. Thank you. On the few occasions when you did find adulteration of honey or olive oil, what were the more common adulteration tricks?
Great video! That Tunisian olive oil passes the refrigerator test, the oil turns solid. Calirornia Ranch (Kalifornia PRK) is my favorite olive oil. Lately, I've seen a Kirkland, Costco brand of 100% Californian olive oil, it's quite good. Years ago I heard the mafia was heavily involved in the world olive oil business, cutting crap GMO oils into olive oil to increase profit.
Tunisian oil is the world champion by far, but Italian and Spanish brands have made billions from buying it in bulk and reselling it after mixing it and dismantling its benefits. Many people spend alot of money buying mixed crap.
" I heard the mafia was heavily involved in the world olive oil business" In "The Godfather" book and movie, the godfather wasn't just kidding when he said he was in the olive oil business!
I'm with you on this. Bought some olive oil on sale of course and became very sick. Looked at label and it was from many countries. He's right about this 😅
I buy that yellow bottle brand you pointed to first. Terra Delyssa EVOO. It’s wonderful oil. It has real notes of olive oil, it’s grassy, fruity and it bites the back of your throat real hard upon swallowing. The best, and I mean BEST OF THE BEST I’ve ever tried was from Whole Foods and that was Lucini Premium Selection. This olive oil was so delicious, GREEN in color, and it bit my whole mouth upon consuming it.
@@pangeaproxima3681the time spent typing a question you don’t even want the answer too. Directed with conscious or subconscious effort to make the person feel something that isn’t sweet or light, but heavy and jagged. For no reason. Enjoy your week my friend.
When I saw the letter codes on the label he showed, I thought they had the same label for all of their plants and you needed to look elsewhere on the bottle for the stamped point of origin. Makes sense for a business to do that.
Bertolli is kinda famous for mixing olive oil from different countries. Some even accuse them even for mixing it with different oils that aren't made from olives.
Why buy Italian fake oil when Tunisia, the biggest exporter in world has started to make its own brands in NA and Europe? Buying Italian oil is so risky, you will either consume a mix of origins or just bad quality with good aroma.
Thank you for your videos. Because of you I have been buying better olive oil. I had a bottle with the guess what country olives and tested it against the single destination olive oil and OMG, difference was night and day! I am very selective now.
I put the entire bottle of olive oil in the refrigerator to test if it will solidify. I've actually kept an unopened bottle of California Ranch olive oil in the fridge for several years, opened it, and it was still great!
@@unknownsource4359 I haven't seen them in my stores around here, im in South Carolina so that may be why, but there are a selection of relatively local well made Georgia olive oils too
The real olive oil has a stamp on it and without the stamp it is mixed with other oils. It usually has the olive leaf on it and says certified. Some are round and some are square. Without the stamp it must say 100% pure olive oil for it to be. The California brand has the stamp. It's like a dark green and maroon. Look up olive oil certified stamps so you know what to look for.
The California branded olive oils are the best and freshest in the US imo... Maybe cause I am in CA, so I get it fresh... but it's a noticeable difference..
Guy from Cali says.. he in fact thinks Cali has the best. Shocker there folks. Greece is the answer you're looking for. Greece. Greece has the best EVOO on the planet.
Why is food in America being so misrepresented when it comes to labels. Americans deserve the right to know what they’re eating and buying. Is false advertisement legal now? Why are they allowed to get away with this? These people need to be put in prison like yesterday! This is insane. How is this legal.
So why are those oils allowed to pass the FDA to be on the shelves for the consumption of customers? My goodness, no one seems to care for the consumer.😢 We need to educate ourselves if we want to live healthy lives.
That's why they call it the Food and Drug Administration. the foods make us sick and the doctors prescribe drugs to make us better. It doesn't always work out well for us.
😂from experience , you have no idea what are you talking about, you can never know if you buy real olive oil, the only way, is buy olive and make it yourself. Good luck
@@sayckeone So why do you think that the companies he mentioned such as "only from Tunisia" are not going to cut their oil with alternatives? The idea of traceability is a pretty useless point when he reads the freaking key like it's a map to where the oil is from 😂
Another pro tip. Check if the brand is available in Canada or Europe, there are laws here that make sure things are what they say they are, so olive oil is ALWAYS olive oil
What he DOESNT mention is that those more expensive, single estate olive oils do NOT get rotated regularly (as less people buy them), meaning they are likely to be more oxidized/older by the time you buy them. Let's be real, all olive oils in American grocery stores are pretty subpar, so you're better off grabbing a middle shelf solid olive oil that gets steady rotation
On top of that extra virgin olive oil it never comes in plastic only in glass or aluminum, plastic is too porous to protect it from, heat, light or moisture making it go rancid.
I have itIn portugal on my small farm all natural no spraying and its amazing all crushed in there gar like they did for years I might bottle it if I get enough orders
Or just look for the olive oil certification on the back. The California Olive Oil Council (COOC) or NAOOA certifications. There are many more that certify them.
Fake olive oil? What you said doesn't make sense and you are contradicting yourself. Traceability: ie. from one source. So if it is only from Tunsia, or Italy, or Portugal or Greece, ect. then it is OK. Yet, if the olives are from 2 or more of these countries, then it is fake? I don't think so. Fake means that the olive is combined with other oils that are not olives, ect, canola, corn oil, ect...

Actually your talk is fake. What makes written labels with single origin single distanation, single state, state grown are not fake ? The only source of trust is certified organisation posted on the olive oil bottle with a clear reference of the product.
Was thinking the same thing. Was at the store yesterday and the cheapest one I saw I on the shelves was the store brand for 5.99 and that was a small bottle . Went with that there is no way I'm paying 14.99 or up for olive oil.
@@rjh7101 well I only cook in extra virgin olive oil all you have to do is use a small pan and shallow fry things instead of a huge VAT of hot frying oil
@@steviannaskitchen5562 well that's because extra virgin olive oil is a finishing oil and not frying oil you need a blend especially using canola oil to get a nice deep fry
But the most outrageous thing is that, even those registered product destination are rigged. As long as a minimum amount is from that specific country, the legislation allows the full product to be classified from that country: for example: olive olive saying 'produce of Spain' or 'produce from Italy' contains actually a 70 or 80 percent of olive oil from Morocco. Same with extra olive oil: most of the time, only a 10 percent of the bottle is actually extra virgin and you pay for. Again, the law allows ripping the consumer off, legally!!!!
Best extra virgin olive oil is sold in Astoria Newyork Greek supermarket you get huge can for $30 Greeks are knowing best olive oil producers in the world. Second Italians third from Spain
We get our olive oil from a local grower here in California. The oil is fresh pressed and never over a year old. Every November harvest is direct fresh press. 😊
He is not supporting his claims with actual facts. I would like to see a study or Research on those brands. Just because a Product is from another country it doesn't mean it is fake.
Look closely. This guy is full of it. It literally reads that the country of origin is specified in the box and the list he reads is the key to identify which country.
I know one for sure sign of fake olive oil is if it comes in a plastic bottle, oh and if you get a big ass bottle for like under $20 . It’s more expensive than that .
@@MegaJuniorJones No, you're right. Kind of. You see, Tunisia was a good country that had an extremely successful revolution in 2011, and this company popped up after the revolution, supporting the free government and all that. But now, this company no longer exists because Tunisia fell back to the oppressive government that preceded it. It's still good to get single source olive oil if you want quality, even if you don't care so much about human rights, so now that I don't have any Tunisian oil, I have Tuskan oil, with all of Italy's issues behind it...
@@nikolaibuscho5881 You sound just like the US Department of State lmao. Tunisia did not fall back to a dictatorship you melon, we simply did a course correction of the shit-show we had going on for 10 miserable years. Ultimately, we voted in an independent president with free and democratic elections and supported him throughout his entire term. We can go out and demonstrate all day long and no one would care. I don't know why Americans love to bring "Human rights" into anything given the fact that America literally funds Genocide in Gaza and sends millions of ammunition and TNT to drop on human beings inside their bedroom apartments. You have no right to ever invoke human rights. Oh, you're still probably consuming a Tunisian oil mixed with some cheap Italian plant oil branded as Italian extra virgin. Enjoy. Yours truly from dictatorship Republic of Tunisia.
Yeah, I don’t have that problem. I get first press extra virgin olive oil from Crete, Greece, that my father-in-laws presses himself using olives from his own olive trees. I will say that I usually have some extra virgin organic olive oil from Costco (Kirkland Brand) just in case we run out of the gold stuff. The Kirkland brand isn’t bad at all.
So does Tunisian varieties such as Chemlali. Morocco is not known for olive oil but for other types of oils such as argan. I would be careful of mixes....
@@kendawgmillionaire2191 i am not sure about this video. but this guy has been producing food related videos at a too high speed and with many mistakes in them.
Yes. It is actually certified 100% olive oil. It has a seal on it for it to be real olive oil and without the seal, it contains other oils. If the ingredient list says 100% pure olive oil then it has to be too. Same with honey and maple syrup. It has to mention under ingredients list 100% pure for it to actually be. Regardless what the rest of the bottle says...
I am from morocco and my country is famous by olives. We have olives trees everywhere even in the streets. So i been eatibg olive oil with bread all my life.

@@quadaar1017 please let me know if you like it, it got a strong olive flavor that you can feel it in your throat. My favorite is el ouazzania it cost about 21$ for 2 litters.
I think if it says "organic / unfiltered" or "organic / cold pressed" or "organic / unrefined", something along those lines...never buy Avocado Oils that are inexpensive (cheap ones are fakes) and never non-organic. Key is 'organic' and that it has not been put through a high refined process.
UC Davis or UC irvin one of those 2 universidad from California made a research about oil and they found most avocado oil and olive oil were not real oil avocado or olive oil. I remember they mentioned chosen food as real oil because it didn't go bad after time like other oil. Some "olive or avocado" oil didnt have any olive or avocado but they were claiming it and sell bad oil at a higher price.
Fratelli’s is worth considering. It’s a small family-owned business, imported from Italy, has low acidity, tastes delicious and is relatively affordable for what you’re receiving. Cheers.🥂
Yet that still wont mean that you are guaranteed the olives are good quality not stale or moldy olives. Cloudy dark oil in dark glass bottles must mean something, right?

What is the good olive oil at Aldi's??? I just purchased "specially selected" Sicilian extra virgin olive oil from Italy. (Single origin) It seems to be very good tasting & very mild. It doesn't have that nasty smell or strong taste & is something I would dip bread in. It's not like some of the other brands I have tried that I would never dip bread in because of a strong nasty taste.
@@jordanharvey2163 Not to me. To me it's rancid but everyone's taste is different. I never really liked any olive oil I bought except this last one from Aldi. I was pleasantly surprised.
Aldi's has alot of deceiving products. If it don't have the official olive oil certified seal then it can still come from other oils. It must have the seal or say 100% pure olive oil under the ingredient list. If not, it contains other crap. The raw, extra virgin, all natural, organic are all just labeling gimic s and mean nothing. It has to say the same thing under ingredients for it to be what it says elsewhere. The California olive oil has the seal so you know what to look for. However their are other seals to that are certified. Look them up.
Even single state or single origin Olive Oil making can use the moldy or rancid,that doesn’t sound like a good measure,only thing it tells you is,the olives are coming from one place,NOT the conditions of olives that are used for this oil
When I was living in Texas for a few years, I was at a local H.E.B. and a kind gentlemen from Spain with a strong accent saw me choosing olive oil. He said exactly what is stated in this video: make sure it doesn't come from multiple origins. As well as a few other things, but it was a bit difficult to understand exactly everything. I do remember he told me to go with a Spain olive oil as they are the "best". Not sure if he just had patriotic pride, but i was alright, what the hell why not, and always choose Spain olive oils lol. Nice guy.
People...when one comes from Greece, greek oil is the best. Same as italian, spanish, french etc. Maybe try it out and make your own opinion. Greek oil is fairly mild and might be considered to meet the most average taste. I personally prefer oil from south france (paca) because of it fruitiness.
In Norway they were selling "Norwegian strawberries" that were actually from Poland because of the price gap between producing in Norway (extra expensive) vs Poland (way cheaper)

@@FINANCEPORT777 Why do we have to know all that?
Sorry to tell you this but if Tunisia is one of the origin countries IT'S FAKE
Someone's gonna get sued by bertolli. That small print means that according to what 2 letters are in the lot code, the olives origin is specified
Bertolli is a garbage brand.
I’d love to see this happen. Would bring a bright smile to my face
When I saw the letter codes on the label he showed, I thought they had the same label for all of their plants and you needed to look elsewhere on the bottle for the stamped point of origin. Makes sense for a business to do that.
Doubtful
Yeah and like 80%.. fake statistics af
Bertolli is kinda famous for mixing olive oil from different countries. Some even accuse them even for mixing it with different oils that aren't made from olives.
Why buy Italian fake oil when Tunisia, the biggest exporter in world has started to make its own brands in NA and Europe? Buying Italian oil is so risky, you will either consume a mix of origins or just bad quality with good aroma.
It smells a lot more bitter I’m comparing this to an expensive one from Greece
Thank you for your videos. Because of you I have been buying better olive oil. I had a bottle with the guess what country olives and tested it against the single destination olive oil and OMG, difference was night and day! I am very selective now.
Same! The difference in flavor is astonishing!
I have that Tunisian olive oil. Very high quality, very good
I put the entire bottle of olive oil in the refrigerator to test if it will solidify. I've actually kept an unopened bottle of California Ranch olive oil in the fridge for several years, opened it, and it was still great!
I've found that California Olive Ranch is the best domestic store brand of EVOO I can find
@@gokuformanvsfoodcobram estate extra virgin olive oil is better quality in my opinion. 100% California oil as well.
@@unknownsource4359 I haven't seen them in my stores around here, im in South Carolina so that may be why, but there are a selection of relatively local well made Georgia olive oils too
The real olive oil has a stamp on it and without the stamp it is mixed with other oils. It usually has the olive leaf on it and says certified. Some are round and some are square. Without the stamp it must say 100% pure olive oil for it to be. The California brand has the stamp. It's like a dark green and maroon. Look up olive oil certified stamps so you know what to look for.
Thanks
I only buy from California but I wonder if the European ones could just put a fake stamp on it like all the other fake stuff on their label?
There will also be a stamp from one of the various olive oil associations that approve high quality olive oil
I don’t like to plug big corporations, but my son is a chef. He said Costco’s olive oil is really good. Maybe they have their own groves?
The California branded olive oils are the best and freshest in the US imo... Maybe cause I am in CA, so I get it fresh... but it's a noticeable difference..
I was saying that too plus no corruption like in Italy
I have always known that olive oil is all Fake, the worst thing i
Guy from Cali says.. he in fact thinks Cali has the best. Shocker there folks. Greece is the answer you're looking for. Greece. Greece has the best EVOO on the planet.
If this is true we should sue every “olive oil” company and shut them down.
Should it be illegal. False advertising?
Cuz tbh it prolly isn’t a big deal
I've read years ago that the reason for this is because of the mafia. So, good luck suing the mafia.
It is olive oil they just use subpar olives for the cheap brands.
That has already happen they get fines. Fake food industry is big and very little fines and criminal punishment.
Laws are for us not them.
Why is food in America being so misrepresented when it comes to labels. Americans deserve the right to know what they’re eating and buying. Is false advertisement legal now? Why are they allowed to get away with this? These people need to be put in prison like yesterday! This is insane. How is this legal.
“Processed oils?” All oils are processed. Otherwise, you’d be purchasing a literal bottle of whole olives.
He seems to like throwing around buzzwords to confuse the audience.
Most organic extra virgin olive oil is all just cold pressed it’s actually way diff it’s same as squeezing olives with your hand not really processed
Air mobile division of CAV? I think you should put the question mark outside the quotation marks too. Because he’s not asking the question you are
And literal is not a good choice when you are correcting another’s grammar. Although incredibly fun to say, it’s just the worst cliche of all time
he means the processing that involves heat and chemicals etc which u dont want
Tunisian olive oil is the best ever.
Tunisianolive oil is your Best ever?
Spanish one is the best sorry
Tunisian, just bought a large bottle!
Cali is the best
I thought Spanish was the best until I tried Tunisian.
So why are those oils allowed to pass the FDA to be on the shelves for the consumption of customers? My goodness, no one seems to care for the consumer.😢 We need to educate ourselves if we want to live healthy lives.
That's why they call it the Food and Drug Administration. the foods make us sick and the doctors prescribe drugs to make us better. It doesn't always work out well for us.
Dang! He Picked up the one I use…..thanks I’m throwing it out

Everyone watching this: “oh wow so crazy”
Still everyone: *continues to get the best value olive oil because every cent counts*
No, my health counts. These vegetable/seed oils they cut olive oil with are terrible for you.
@@sayckeone You have any evidence they cut it with other oils? Or is it just based on his "all from one place" theory?
@@stansman5461
Look up "Italy olive oil scandal." It's old news. Just because you're not aware of it doesn't mean it's not true.
@@sayckeone So why do you think that the companies he mentioned such as "only from Tunisia" are not going to cut their oil with alternatives? The idea of traceability is a pretty useless point when he reads the freaking key like it's a map to where the oil is from 😂
@@stansman5461
I never said they aren't. Don't put words in my mouth.
Notice how many brands have switched to plastic bottles instead of glass.
Lmao he would pick the exact one I use 🤦🏾♂️ glad I watched this tho
I know me too 😂 and I thought it was the best olive oil to buy from what we have in our grocery stores. Gonna need to find a new kind for sure!!
Yikes! I'm going to shop for real olive oil tomorrow. Thanks Bobby.
Another pro tip. Check if the brand is available in Canada or Europe, there are laws here that make sure things are what they say they are, so olive oil is ALWAYS olive oil
What he DOESNT mention is that those more expensive, single estate olive oils do NOT get rotated regularly (as less people buy them), meaning they are likely to be more oxidized/older by the time you buy them. Let's be real, all olive oils in American grocery stores are pretty subpar, so you're better off grabbing a middle shelf solid olive oil that gets steady rotation
This guy makes his entire platform off of basic food consumption research, he’s not interested in informing people like this unfortunately.
Massive scaremongering, mentioning mold with no concept of why it’s even considered “acceptable”
I just roll with Avocado oil. I like the neutral flavor and it has a really high smoke point.
@@jimbodice2672 solid, versatile choice
Yup.
Bobby, thanks for all the research you do; and for all the useful tips that you generously provide. You are truly a national treasure!
On top of that extra virgin olive oil it never comes in plastic only in glass or aluminum, plastic is too porous to protect it from, heat, light or moisture making it go rancid.
I have itIn portugal on my small farm all natural no spraying and its amazing all crushed in there gar like they did for years I might bottle it if I get enough orders
Or just look for the olive oil certification on the back. The California Olive Oil Council (COOC) or NAOOA certifications. There are many more that certify them.
Fake olive oil? What you said doesn't make sense and you are contradicting yourself. Traceability: ie. from one source. So if it is only from Tunsia, or Italy, or Portugal or Greece, ect. then it is OK. Yet, if the olives are from 2 or more of these countries, then it is fake? I don't think so. Fake means that the olive is combined with other oils that are not olives, ect, canola, corn oil, ect...
I worked receiving for Driscoll and they be processing horrible berries, like you said they refine it

Great helpful info but my brain is going...$$$...
Was thinking the same thing. Was at the store yesterday and the cheapest one I saw I on the shelves was the store brand for 5.99 and that was a small bottle . Went with that there is no way I'm paying 14.99 or up for olive oil.
@@rjh7101 well I only cook in extra virgin olive oil all you have to do is use a small pan and shallow fry things instead of a huge VAT of hot frying oil
Then buy Kirkland olive oil at Costco it's good, real and inexpensive.
@@steviannaskitchen5562 well that's because extra virgin olive oil is a finishing oil and not frying oil you need a blend especially using canola oil to get a nice deep fry
@@missmarymary6506 that’s not true at all I deep fry chicken in extra virgin olive oil all the time and they do it in Italy as well
But the most outrageous thing is that, even those registered product destination are rigged. As long as a minimum amount is from that specific country, the legislation allows the full product to be classified from that country: for example: olive olive saying 'produce of Spain' or 'produce from Italy' contains actually a 70 or 80 percent of olive oil from Morocco. Same with extra olive oil: most of the time, only a 10 percent of the bottle is actually extra virgin and you pay for. Again, the law allows ripping the consumer off, legally!!!!
Best extra virgin olive oil is sold in Astoria Newyork Greek supermarket you get huge can for $30 Greeks are knowing best olive oil producers in the world.
Second Italians third from Spain
We get our olive oil from a local grower here in California. The oil is fresh pressed and never over a year old. Every November harvest is direct fresh press. 😊

Dude you rock. Was buying that Tunisian olive oil from Walmart for that reason. Thanks.

I found this out the hard way I love raw olive oil on foods for freshness but I wanted to try a different brand and it tasted like canola oil
I know one for sure sign of fake olive oil is if it comes in a plastic bottle, oh and if you get a big ass bottle for like under $20 . It’s more expensive than that .
Thanks for the information! Natural Grocers have an amazing selection of great olive oil!
I usually get that from Tunisia. They are really transparent and even have a QR code to look at processing and travel and stuff right on the bottle.
That means nothing
@@MegaJuniorJones No, you're right. Kind of. You see, Tunisia was a good country that had an extremely successful revolution in 2011, and this company popped up after the revolution, supporting the free government and all that. But now, this company no longer exists because Tunisia fell back to the oppressive government that preceded it.
It's still good to get single source olive oil if you want quality, even if you don't care so much about human rights, so now that I don't have any Tunisian oil, I have Tuskan oil, with all of Italy's issues behind it...
@@nikolaibuscho5881 You sound just like the US Department of State lmao. Tunisia did not fall back to a dictatorship you melon, we simply did a course correction of the shit-show we had going on for 10 miserable years. Ultimately, we voted in an independent president with free and democratic elections and supported him throughout his entire term. We can go out and demonstrate all day long and no one would care. I don't know why Americans love to bring "Human rights" into anything given the fact that America literally funds Genocide in Gaza and sends millions of ammunition and TNT to drop on human beings inside their bedroom apartments. You have no right to ever invoke human rights. Oh, you're still probably consuming a Tunisian oil mixed with some cheap Italian plant oil branded as Italian extra virgin. Enjoy. Yours truly from dictatorship Republic of Tunisia.
I love the savory taste of gutter oil
Yeah, I don’t have that problem. I get first press extra virgin olive oil from Crete, Greece, that my father-in-laws presses himself using olives from his own olive trees. I will say that I usually have some extra virgin organic olive oil from Costco (Kirkland Brand) just in case we run out of the gold stuff. The Kirkland brand isn’t bad at all.
Let’s be friends. I give you money and get the same bottle your father in law gives you.
I would recommend Moroccan olive oil. They have among the highest levels of polyphenols as they are grown in harsh desert climates.
Good to know. Thank you.
So does Tunisian varieties such as Chemlali. Morocco is not known for olive oil but for other types of oils such as argan. I would be careful of mixes....

Chosen is an excellent brand. Bobby approved.
Thanks!
Excellent advice. Thank you. After watching olive oil videos, I stop buying olive oil. I will try again using your tip.
Does anyone know if California Olive ranch is a good one I only buy that brand
Yes. He has said that’s one of the good ones in past videos
It is a most excellent one
Yes. It is actually certified 100% olive oil. It has a seal on it for it to be real olive oil and without the seal, it contains other oils. If the ingredient list says 100% pure olive oil then it has to be too. Same with honey and maple syrup. It has to mention under ingredients list 100% pure for it to actually be. Regardless what the rest of the bottle says...
My great value olive oil literally says every country listed 😂😂😂
They wrapped map instead of label😂
Today we need to walk with a chemist and even his/her credentials are questionable.😢
I am from morocco and my country is famous by olives. We have olives trees everywhere even in the streets. So i been eatibg olive oil with bread all my life.

@@quadaar1017 please let me know if you like it, it got a strong olive flavor that you can feel it in your throat. My favorite is el ouazzania it cost about 21$ for 2 litters.
How can you make sure you are getting real avocado oil? This info is why we watch you!
I think if it says "organic / unfiltered" or "organic / cold pressed" or "organic / unrefined", something along those lines...never buy Avocado Oils that are inexpensive (cheap ones are fakes) and never non-organic. Key is 'organic' and that it has not been put through a high refined process.
Chosen Foods brand is 100% Avocado Oil so you can trust them for sure
Get it from Costco.
UC Davis or UC irvin one of those 2 universidad from California made a research about oil and they found most avocado oil and olive oil were not real oil avocado or olive oil. I remember they mentioned chosen food as real oil because it didn't go bad after time like other oil. Some "olive or avocado" oil didnt have any olive or avocado but they were claiming it and sell bad oil at a higher price.
Yeah also good advice if you wanna pay double for your olive oil
thank you so much for your eye opening videos .
The quality of tunisian olive oil is above any other olive oil
ALSO, buy only glass bottles, dark bottles.
I was Wondering why my olive oil smelled Rancid upon opening it.
Fratelli’s is worth considering. It’s a small family-owned business, imported from Italy, has low acidity, tastes delicious and is relatively affordable for what you’re receiving. Cheers.🥂
Yet that still wont mean that you are guaranteed the olives are good quality not stale or moldy olives.
Cloudy dark oil in dark glass bottles must mean something, right?
Thank you so much for your videos. They are super helpful and you have your clothes on.

What is the good olive oil at Aldi's??? I just purchased "specially selected" Sicilian extra virgin olive oil from Italy. (Single origin) It seems to be very good tasting & very mild. It doesn't have that nasty smell or strong taste & is something I would dip bread in. It's not like some of the other brands I have tried that I would never dip bread in because of a strong nasty taste.
Bertolli is best.

@@jordanharvey2163 Bertolli is the “fake olive oil” he picked up in this video…
@@artempatrushev6684 if you're gullible to believe a RUclips chef , then I feel very sad for you. Do your own research.
Aldi's has alot of deceiving products. If it don't have the official olive oil certified seal then it can still come from other oils. It must have the seal or say 100% pure olive oil under the ingredient list. If not, it contains other crap. The raw, extra virgin, all natural, organic are all just labeling gimic s and mean nothing. It has to say the same thing under ingredients for it to be what it says elsewhere. The California olive oil has the seal so you know what to look for. However their are other seals to that are certified. Look them up.
Ok, what is a affordable olive oil? Costco Kirkland brand?
Bobby said previously, the California extra virgin olive oil is the best to buy. I buy this and nothing else now..

Get the moldy oil, it tastes the best.
I’ll be damn, I had olives from possibly from all over😅
Some of the oil they mixed it with wasn't olive oil at all. The FDA is wild.
You should try Algerian olive oil I swear is the best ever. The smell the consistency, the quality, it’s incredible ❤❤❤
Even single state or single origin Olive Oil making can use the moldy or rancid,that doesn’t sound like a good measure,only thing it tells you is,the olives are coming from one place,NOT the conditions of olives that are used for this oil
When I was living in Texas for a few years, I was at a local H.E.B. and a kind gentlemen from Spain with a strong accent saw me choosing olive oil.
He said exactly what is stated in this video: make sure it doesn't come from multiple origins. As well as a few other things, but it was a bit difficult to understand exactly everything.
I do remember he told me to go with a Spain olive oil as they are the "best". Not sure if he just had patriotic pride, but i was alright, what the hell why not, and always choose Spain olive oils lol.
Nice guy.
Greek is rated best in the world
Spain, Greek (I lived in Greece) and Italy. I learned to check the label on here. Many Greek or Mediterranean markets have a few very good oils too.
@@jonik320 no it’s not. Spain is.
People...when one comes from Greece, greek oil is the best. Same as italian, spanish, french etc.
Maybe try it out and make your own opinion.
Greek oil is fairly mild and might be considered to meet the most average taste. I personally prefer oil from south france (paca) because of it fruitiness.
Mine says it's origin is 🇬🇷 Greece 🤔.
In Norway they were selling "Norwegian strawberries" that were actually from Poland because of the price gap between producing in Norway (extra expensive) vs Poland (way cheaper)
