- The majority of extra virgin olive oil on the grocery store is fake! That means the oil rancid, cut with cheaper oils, and does not meet the requirements to be extra virgin olive oil. Stick with single origin extra virgin olive oil from a trusted source, I would only buy a handful of olive oil brands to cook with, most of them are talked about in this video. Hope you find this helpful!

Companies that manufacture, distribute and sell rancid olive oil cut with either soy, corn, peanut or canola oil, richly deserve to be sued into bankruptcy.
Start it

I bought Costco olive oil. Opened it at home and tried cooking with it. I took it right back !! The smell alone turned me off. The color was a dark gray matter looking shade. Anyone try Dr. Gundry's olive oil?
Wow,
May God help us. Almost all cooking ingredients have been adulterated these days all in the name of profit.
😪yesss
They are now trying to produce 3D meat for your glossary stores. Nothing is safe anymore, unless you grow your own foods. Finding something healthy to eat is one of my biggest problems of the day, I am just too scared of food itself.
Everyone is greedy except you.
It drives me insane!
@@alfredkay3210 I hate to tell you but you have to pick heirloom seeds too. The home depot seeds aren't the best for you. Tomatoes are a big one you don't want GMOs for as they are tasteless.
My father worked in an Italian Olive oil bottling plant in California in the early 1960's and they were mixing olive oil from Italy with cotton seed oil from the southern U.S. The mixing was done in secrecy by a small night shift crew. He use to say "Who knows what was mixed into it before it came to the U.S." I was raised with stories of what a crooked business it was.
If you swallow a teaspoon of olive oil the pure good quality oil will tingle in your throat. I learned this simple trick in Italy from an olive farmer. The Olive oil business in Italy back then (80s) was controlled by the mafia crime families and was crooked through and through. Many "European olives" in that time were coming in from other parts of the world and were labeled as" European".
Your video posts are really important.
Good to know! Thank you for sharing!
Yes true about the tinging as I was just in a olive farm & was surprised when that happened. I questioned it & was told by the farmer that's because it's so good.
Correct
This is shocking. Thanks for sharing this terrible news. It's hard to eat well, let alone decide who's scamming us on the health food side.
Thanks for doing the legwork and sharing! 😊I’m so upset that I’ve been using fake garbage olive oil. The amount of deception is wild in the food industry. 😡
Please copy, paste and share this list! Natural Bliss coffee creamer with only milk, cream, cane sugar and vanilla thats really good and that i would fight a rabid dog over lol. The uncrappified food is best, like without RBGH in meat and dairy and food without artificial sweeteners or so many preservatives. i researched and found some more from top holistic doctors: if u eat wheat products that are not organic, ur probably getting a lot of glyphosate thats in RoundUp spray they put on crops. It gradually poisons, as do things like caramel color in soda and other things in soda and colors and many harmful chemicals. But there are good ones like Daves Killer Bread the 21 grains and seeds, its all organic, as is Ezekiel 4:9 bread and organic Oroweat bread and tastes much better. and with organic Kerigold butter. They even have nanotechnology, microscopic harmful things in food and a legal loophole allows them to get away with not listing it. The channel, Facts Matter With Roman Balmokov talks about that. Also, there is much information by a doctor, Dr, Sebi, they killed for curing people of cancer, diabetes, severe heart issues, etc. but many family members carry on his info. U can find it n youtube and amazon, even cookbooks with his food and herb info. I'll add a link with a list of superfoods, herbs to keep very healthy. He emphasized the importance of things like magnesium and iron in your diet, electrolytes, an alkaline diet and with food high in polyphenols, to stay cleansed and healthy. Also, to cleanse liver and have good overall health, daily take 2 tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar with lemon juice from a lemon or 2, which also cleans out liver, and 2 lemons, bob's red mill or frontier baking soda 1 tsp (not arm & hammer!) and mix it with 2 garlic bulbs and 125ml honey (about 4 ounces.) remember to take it with a quarter to half teaspoon of Bob's Red Mill or Frontier baking soda, NOT Arm & Hammer baking soda, Arm & Hammer is for cleaning, u can clean microwave and washing machine and more with Arm & Hammer and white vinegar and lemon juice, but use the other kind of baking soda for ingesting in the body. And some good herbs to add for removing toxins in liver, and good food for it are garlic, milk thistle, hydrangea, nettle root or nettle leaf, dandelion root or dandelion leaf, burdock root, sarsaparilla root, blue vervain, also apples, sweet potatoes, asparagus, blueberries, cranberries brussel sprouts, beets, green tea. There are other superfoods like ones mentioned and avocados, eggs but should be organic and from cage free chickens, and grapes, broccoli, cauliflower, pumpkin seeds, many more u can find, AND olive oil, also mentioned in Bible, is very good for the heart, as is hawthorn berry or hawthorn root and apple cider vinegar, cleans arteries, excellent for heart health and really overall health, but ONLY CERTAIN KINDS of olive oil that are processed a certain way or could have adverse effects. About 70% of extra virgin olive oil in stores, is fake and made from rancid olives that are processed in deceptive way. AND keep olive oil out of sunlight or it will oxidize it, ruining it. So the safe, healthy olive oil: Costco's Kirkland 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 100% Greek Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 100% Pure California Olive Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil, not the destination series ones, and the other good one is the Lucini Extra Virgin Olive Oil and finishing oil Casa D Hualdo Cornicobra Extra Virgin Olive Oil. If someone takes heart medicine, avoid a lot of what is natural blood thinners like apple cider vinegar and olive oil and avoid food high in vitamin K, a natural blood thickener. Mainstream doctors dont even tell people that or anything they should about food. Big Pharma makes money from people being sick. Here is the link for a lot of Dr. Sebi's superfood and herb info. Remember, please copy, paste and share all this comment! th-cam.com/video/9tgGFK9pzW8/w-d-xo.html. In case link doesnt work, go to youtube and type, 'DR. SEBI FOOD LIST ALKALINE Food List & Dr. Sebi MEAL PLAN Ideas.' and stay close to Christ. Always worth it! This life is only temporary. Dont let satan have a stronghold! God bless!
Nice review. Costco EVO oil in plastic bottle is above average, but far from excellent. Lot's of deals at Costco and the big box stores, but that does not mean quality products. As a Master Chef,, I only buy and consume 100 % pure first pressing Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Greece. The ones from Italy are excellent too. Anyone who buys the blends or trusts only 1 brand is a fool. You lear from experience. I have tasted hundreds of EVO's around Italy, Greece, France and the world. The EVO Oil of the Gods is pure and real. BTW, I am in the longevity olympics and training at the gym several hours a day. Nobody keeps up with me. Cheers my friend. Let's get cooking.
But what's the basis of saying 70% of EVOO in the market are "fakes" or doesn't meet the requirement? Proper legwork should include verifying this info or at least stating the source or raising this issue to consumer protection agencies. Better also if identifying what those "fake" brands are. Otherwise, I just take this post as another product promotional video
gotta love the American dream. One of the most propagandized country in the world, peddling subpar health damaging food.
Brands of real EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) mentioned in the video;
1. Kirkland (Costco's personal brand) 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil
2. Trader Joe's Premium 100% Greek Kalamata extra virgin olive oil
3. California Olive Ranch 100% California extra virgin olive oil (available at most mega-marts/grocery stores)
4. Lucini extra virgin olive oil
He recommends the above EVOOs for cooking. For finishing, he recommends:
5. Casa D Hualdo robust extra virgin olive oil [from Spain]
Thank you, a list like this is what everyone here is looking for, so we can write it down and get on with life - many thanks❤❤❤😘
@@b.scottfarthingsworth You're very welcome. Thank YOU, for letting me know it helped.
BJ´s has EVOO “Carbonell “ a popular brand in Spain. Good olive oil.
You shouldn’t fry food in EVOO, it’s smoke point is too low, he says it’s around 400 but that’s quite low, it’s actually around 375 to 405, too low for frying. you should use refined olive oil (smoke point 425/465) or avocado oil (smoke point 480/520) for frying and EVOO for dressings and final dressing of salads.
Thank you
I lived in Greece for 6 years, and I tasted the best olive oil ever. They would make it right in my town.

Thank you for this!!! I’m so tired of tv chefs saying “ use a good olive oil” when most people don’t know how to choose a “ good” olive oil in the U. S.!!
Google "certified olive oil". The North American Olive Oil Association certifies them.
In uk it’s illegal to call it extra virgin olive oil if it has been cut with other oils
It also is in Italy. People have gone to prison for cutting Extra Virgin olive oil, usually with sunflower seed oil. They still do it.
Unfortunately here in America this is where corporations thrive because they can put all of their poison and chemical in products on the shelf and lie about everything it's only a few states in the United States where stuff like this is band legally California is one of those States I wish other states will follow suit but too much money is being made off of people dying and getting sick so the pharmaceutical industries can make money and to remind you this is a corporation country
Here in the states, you can pee in a jar and call it whatever you want , then dare anyone to challenge your claim and in the end they'll be labeled a racist and inevitably cancelled.
@@michaelk9871 it’s getting the same over here
America has no corporate regulation. None. Its corrupt disgusting and richly deserves retaliation.
Lol, I love it when the FDA doesn't have time....to do their job.
Edit: So quite a few individuals have stated that the FDA isn't given the proper funding to do their task efficiently which, if true, means that Americans seriously need to do something about their government; this is affecting everything from life-expectancy to healthcare costs.
Yeah, even throwing an unsafe vaccine into human beings....I never agreed to be a test subject, did you? Fire them all!!
Gma B that is such an unsubstantiated claim, this vaccine actually has more safety data than any other drug on the market. Educate yourself before making false claims
@@Todd.B wheres the info id like to see. Being tested only under a year isn't long enough for any drug
@@RaechelleJ with our some 100 years experience with vaccines it's accepted that if a person doesn't show any side effects in 2 months they aren't going to so a year is plenty long enough for long term effects. 70k people were followed for 6 months. That is more data collected for this drug than any other drug before going to market. If you don't believe me you can watch the whole video on Medcram, are RNA vaccines safe, posted about a month ago. Medcram is a legit site, offers Continuing education for healthcare workers so its legit.
@@Todd.B buts its a mRNA vaccine...FDA even classifies mRNA as gene therapy..explain that?
It’s ❤️breaking to know that people do this to others.
It should be a crime
False advertisement?
That's because some people are vicious creatures, this is why we had Holocaust, war's, hunger, crime and pre prepared meals lol
It's sad but I believe it. There's been unscrupulous people around that are willing to cheat others as long as there's been people. That's why we need our governments to stand up and protect us from them.

Don't trust vitamins
I assume all of them.. I have a very sensitive tummy. Anything I eat unless I make it myself with very little ingredients makes my tummy hurt.. sometimes for days.
Wow, it’s like you have to make everything yourself in order to know and trust what you are eating. That’s incredibly sad. 😥 I’m also one of those people who believe that all manufacturers should be held accountable for their products through the end of its life… meaning they are responsible for not only the product but the disposal of the container it comes in. 🧐

Not really because he hasn’t said how to tell, just what brands he likes.
If some olive oils contain peanut oil that could be fatal if someone is allergic to peanuts.
From what I’ve read over the years people with peanut allergies don’t have an issue with the oil as it’s the fiber and bacteria in the fiber that cause the reaction. Not a scientist just relaying info.
@@hugocortina3429 yep,...daughter has allergy ...but can eat food fried in peanut oil.....
@@hugocortina3429 yea my daughter is also allergic to peanuts but can eat foods cooked with the oil. I figured it was something 2 do with the heat.
for real tho!
Often the allergy is to a protein, which won't be present in a pure peanut oil since oil should be pure fat.
I noticed the olive oil from costco was really good, and was surprised because it came in a plastic bottle. Been buying it only for years now because I've been let down by oil in fancy bottles. Very relieved, and a little proud that I made the right decision just based on taste.
Interesting.
A darkend glass bottle is always better than a plastic one.
the flavor never lies!
@@user-eu6wp6ws7c you don't like BPA with your olive oil?
Personally, I now don’t think it’s really good using something from a plastic bottle. They are NOW saying plastic IS toxic & DOES CAUSE TUMORS & CANCER. It’s changed folks.
Lets ALL start suing them, class actions.
Sue yo momma. 😂
I watched this video twice to find out how to avoid buying fake olive oil but only got out of it recommended olive oils. So, how does a consumer know if he/she is buying fake olive oil or what to look for to determine if it is real?
The main reason when a Olive Oil is bad is whatever or not is traceable, you look that it only have one Country of Origin. He explained in another video, Oil bottles that said that they are from many different countries tend to be cut with cheaper oils or use rancid oils. You can also check the date of harvesting in the bottle.
@@lagopusvulpuz1571 thx... i too was waitn for him to say what to watch for & i do mbr hearing yrs ago something about date of harvest but yes... country of origin ... ALSO sd buy evoo in a can... no bottles... (thx for ur comment!!)

Absolutely agree with you! As a producer of extra virgin olive oil in Southern Italy, we've been cultivating over 2000 olive trees for generations. We take pride in our oil, which is exclusively from the olives we grow and carefully tend to. The difference in quality between our oil and the diluted versions on many store shelves is simply staggering.
Buying directly from a trusted producer or source not only supports local businesses but also guarantees the purity of the olive oil. It's crucial for consumers to understand this. Thanks for your insightful comment and for shedding light on the importance of single-origin olive oil. Happy cooking
Is your oil available for purchase? And how do we obtain it?
@Leonardo-Studio Wow unfortunately no reply. Want to know this also!
So how we differentiate between real and fake?
@@kalamedikkalamedik9503 You should buy a high-quality oil and compare it with what you use regularly, high High-quality EVOO oil should be fruity, bitter, and spicy.
@deliba_evoo. HI! Thanks for your input. If anyone would like to purchase your olive oil, how can they do so?
There’s almost no way for the average consumer like me to know which olive oil to use so I’m happy somebody is finally exposing rancid olive oil being sold as the good stuff. It’s so frustrating because it’s not like you are allowed to taste test it before you buy it. So I stick to cooking with butter and crisco. Maybe now things can change so I will be able to cook with olive oil that doesn’t taste rancid
Don’t cook with it
Crisco is poison: look it up! And if you prefer using butter, transform it into ghee: a LOT healthier and can take hihgher temperatures. It’s easy to make, it stores forever and it’s HEALTHY.
@@maggiegoossens1894 I will take your advice and try ghee. I have to agree with you at one time crisco was very unhealthy but that is no longer the case. I’ll leave you a link. I use it for pretty much everything now. It helped me heal from my poison sumac with out scaring. I had to cover my scabs with it. Not only does it heal chafing but it protects from getting it when you cover the effected area. It makes a great healthy alternative to Vaseline and lube. You can make really long lasting survival candles with it. I have had a large tub last me over two years in less than optimal conditions. I will always have at least 2 or 3 large tubs on hand for different purposes I don’t have to make it and it’s extremely cheap. th-cam.com/video/-X8ugZreOL0/w-d-xo.html
Crisco is hydrogenated vegetable oil
The butte is good
If you can find it its good to use lard or duck fat or beef fat
@@RAJOHN-ke7mc I’ve heard good things about duck fat. Unfortunately nobody sells it around these parts. I might see if I can find it online. I love using beef fat to make grilled cheese it’s so yummy
My tour guide in Granada, Spain said once I have had olive oil there I would know the difference.

OK, so apart from the brands you mention, and aside from doing a taste test in the store before buying, how can an ordinary person tell a genuine EVOO from a fake?
By training your palate. You just have to sample the genuine stuff first. I recommend a journey around the olive producing European regions - Italy, Sicily, Province, Spain, Crete, Greece. Sampling a fresh olive oil right at the farm is eye-opening.
@@Kamamura2 you are not allow to open and taste an Evoo on the market if you dont buy it first.
@@Kamamura2 like who can afford that! Unless you already live in italy
Look on the back of the bottle for the harvest date of the olives.
Buy from Mediterranean countries..
Non gmo and organic.

Haha that’s what I wanna know!!
Thank you for looking out for us. We need more people like you out there. I subscribed and will support your channel keep up the good work.
I grew up with olive oil on my salads..the oil came directly from Italy in a can. I remember the strong distinctive flavor. I have never in the US experienced such a flavor.
Hey, that's how I grew up
Great olive oil, great Italian food
Manhattan, eat you'll feel Better!
Famous Italian saying
Lol i am Greek and while mediteranean produces olive oil, as far consumption goes per capita we rank top... I lnow in past for example in north Italy people did not use it much as it was more expensive than in south where it was produced, but in Greece olive oil was allways the preferred oil since antiquity.Also the word oil in English likely derives from latin which in turn is based on Greek word which is έλαιον and that in turn comes from the fact olive both as fruit or tree is called ελαία (ελιά in modern) in other words the word for oil in Greek initially meant *ONLY* olive oil.
Thank you for this information! My mom always cooked with olive oil when I was young and I remember that smell. I don't smell that anymore with the oils I buy and I KNOW I'm not getting the right oil. Hopefully I can change that now with your information.
We are so blessed to have all of producers here we buy straight from the farm. If you can you need to buy local and from your local farmer.
The video lists certain brands, if that's what you're after, absolutely watch it. If you expect methods that help you to recognize fake EVOO, I did not notice any 🤷
My feelings exactly.
Clickbait
Try to search for cretan olive oil, small family brands, if you love koroneiki variety...
He has another video where he gives more general tips. I think some people requested some brands as examples. :)
My main takeaway is traceability- single origin so its not listed as being from multiple countries

When swallowed from a shot glass, it should burn like pepper in the back of your throat.
Telling everyone exactly how to spot quality olive oil via the label might be a good idea.
I think he didnt tell us.
Exactly! That's what I kept waiting for
I think his main point is the labels don't tell the truth.
@@lorraineeasydoesit8448 Well if the labels dont tell the truth then we have a very bad situation.By what parameters are we supposed to judge or compare the different brands?HELP!!!
Too many loop holes in how products can be labeled "legally". Pop a small bowl of your oil in the refrigerator overnight. Real olive oil should "congeal" when cold. If your oil is still fluid liquid, it's not 100% olive oil. Doesn't test the quality, but at least you know if you have fake stuff.
I’m overseas and just opened a new bottle of olive oil a few days ago and poured it on our noodles for spaghetti. At first it smelled like plastic 😳 to me so I was super concerned. Then when I poured it out on its own to dip bread in I realized it actually smelled like olives! Very interesting experience. No one else will eat it 😂 I could be so wrong because my sense of smell has been off for a few years now.
You may actually have a very acute normal sense of smell. I ahave never smoked and try to stay away from any chemicals. I can tell immediately if there are any chemicals in the air. It drives somme of my family crazy but to be it is a valuable "tool" to stay healthy.
My smell has been off for a few years now since I was sick with the covey.
@@bluewaters3100 I could only imagine! I feel like my husband has a very acute sense of smell because he always smells things that no one else smells.

I buy the 360 EVOO from Whole Foods. It’s not cheap but also not expensive. Starting my journey through alternatives and quality products to cook. This channel is helpful to analyze what’s best for my body and desire results.
This is great! Please do a segment on fake honey. Honey bought in the grocery store undergoes similar tampering. Buy local!!
Also, cinnamon. Some of the inexpensive ones are cut with sawdust.
Ughhh I LOVE this man and his shared information!!! Bobby, you are the best! 😘😘😘
Your the best Bobby, thank you for helping the rest of us stay healthy. You really do your homework.
The way to tell a good olive oil: must have a color close to olive, just slightly darker. Then, taste. If you know olives like I do, the oil must taste like olives, but lighter and with no bitterness. I grew up in North Africa and each family in the different villages had their own olive oil made for them, using the olives the families collected, every year. It is important for the oil not to age too much, say one year. Cheers.
Actually, you are wrong in every account. First of all, color should be ignored, because it's easily faked by adding leaves (chlorophyll) to the press. Second, a good olive oil is both peppery and bitter (polyphenols). The best olive oil is high in polyphenols, comes from early harvest, and is both bitter and peppery. The part about freshness is correct.
@@Kamamura2 You couldn't be more arrogant. I grew up in Kabylie, North Africa where every family had their own olive trees, picked the olives in season and produced their own oil every single year. Damn, we even made great soap with the residue from the olives. We never used anything but olive oil and celebrated the first press as a tradition You tell me you know more about olive oil than I do when you probably knew nothing about it until recently? You're full of yourself.
Daniel, you need to lighten up on Paul as he have attained all that info from his “study” on the internet! And, we all know if it’s on the internet it has to true. You on the other hand who has actually lived among the groves and harvested the olives with personal experience….well, that’s just hear-say!😂….score 1 for Africa!
@@jerryglazener8129 I've been using olive oil exclusively all my life. I am Mediterranean if that means anything to you.

I shopped at Big Lots for the longest time and always got so sad when they had their grocery section right next to large glass windows with no sun cover. This is in Texas. They also thought it was a great idea to store the plastic containers of oils. I mention this to them and get a glazed look...
Aw, they couldn't stand 😢any critique
I agree with you, and I feel stressed about the health of people especially children who drink water from plastic bottles which Safeway stocks outside of the store in the blazing sun.
I normally get peeved at advertisements but I appreciated that you were promoting your own products. I like your presentation and that you research material before posting. Cheers and information appreciated. GlenO
Thanks for mentioning that finishing oil, i've never heard of it and will probably never buy it but thanks for mentioning it.
I love good olive oil on my salads that I eat almost daily. I'm an oil and vinegar guy. I am very picky about what olive oil we buy. It's easy to tell the difference between quality oil and lesser oils. Even though they are labeled as extra virgin olive oil. First good olive oil will be slightly thicker than the fake stuff and have a darker more yellow color than the fake olive oils. Next I try it for flavor. Take a spoon full and taste it. The fake oils have very little flavor. Good extra virgin olive oil has a distinct flavor. Also quality extra virgin olive oil should have a slight burn similar to a hot pepper although it is very slight but should be there when you eat a spoonfull of it. I look for those qualities in good olive oil. As he says, the Costco brand seems to be good high quality oil. We have always liked the Trader Joe's too.
In my country olive oil is massively expensive, so I'd be paying for a week's supply of veggies to taste the oil for authenticity! No tasting options in stores. Nevertheless, thanks for the tips 👍🏽
@@jeandixon586, maybe you could order it ? I love the taste of BRAGG ,ORGANIC Extra Virgin OLIVE OIL .
💯 percent Sourced from Greece.
Very nice taste!
@@Anonymous-jx8zy Thanks! I'll definitely look into that brand. Maybe it's even available in South Africa 👍🏽😁

Love this channel... to the point, and exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! Whew! I’ve been using the Costco brand for years. Great video!!
Good job good sir. You really are saving lives. They don't know this or how important your info....
Love it ! I am been looking for a video like this for a long time.
Bobby, Costco’s Kirkland EVOO is also available in a dark glass bottle, my husband recently bought a bottle. I am a huge fan of Kirkland EVOO. Thank you Brother. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the info! Was going to write off Costco for olive oil because i try to not buy plastic when shopping ... it is very difficult 😩
Costco's olive oil is not in glass no more. Plastic it is. So disappointing.
Much gratitude for this upload!
Thanks for Educating us. Much appreciated.
i disagree with you when you mentioned about Tunisia olive oils like a bad thing ! Just wanted to let know your viewers that Tunisian olive oil are very good quality .Tunisian olive oil is praised for its buttery flavor, its gentle and light texture, its healthy constitution. It's also award-winning-in case you didn't know there are olive oil awards, there are! It's also increasingly available.With its largely chemical-free orchards, Tunisia is the largest exporter of organic olive oil in the world. Tunisian olive oils have won medals at international competitions in London and Los Angeles. Yet Tunisian olive oil remains little-known to many foreign consumer. How do i know all that ? i am from the area !
I agree…Costco Canada sells Terra Delyssa Organic Extra Virgin Olive….it is very good
I buy the Spectrum Organic Mediterranean EVOO in a dark green glass bottle,
and the label says the oil is from Tunisia...
Thanks for your comment on this topic
I think what he means is that they mix it with other oils from other parts of the world making it more difficult to trace
This guy lies all the time. He lies about Tunisia, so you really think he won’t lie about others?
Yesss Tunisian is best one
SAY WHAT!!! you're telling me something Dr. OZ says is not true :P.
Here is a cooking tip for using EVOO, if you worried about burning the oil when cooking melt some butter into it. The extra fat from the butter helps stabilize the oil and it just makes stuff taste better.
and if you are Low Card/ keto it help add good healthy fats to your cooking.
I always thought it was opposite. You add olive oil to butter because the smoke point of olive oil is higher than that of butter
Nice tip
Sorry, that's BS. Unclarified butter has a much lower smoke point because the butter solids burn easily.

Thanks for this video, it was very helpful.
All my life I have been eating olive oil and I love it. I usually eat some with bread and feta cheese.
Thatz why you are so beautiful!
What brand ?
Extra Virginia?
Hi! I was wondering about the other olive oils on the table. Are they recommended by you?
Thank you Bobby! Very revealing!
Grateful for the information wow what a shocker bro bless you for sharing this 🙏
I have been buying California Olive Ranch EVOO (100% CA oil) for several years, after reading that it tested 100% olive oil. 👍
" Their Destination Series" " IS NOW SOURCED FROM "California, Argentina, Chile, and Portugal. It is not as good as "all California" oil. It is no longer ECO certified. Check the lable! Try O-live oil brand!
@@manesecrets California Olive Ranch still makes 100% California olive oil, in addition to the Destination series. I have a bottle I just recently bought, harvest date Dec 2019. It says "100% California" on it, certified by the Olive Oil Commission of California. As you said, check the label.
@@lloydhlavac6807 he said the destination series is a no no...
@@jules-marcdavis6843 I do not buy the Destination series. I buy the 100% California olive oil series, as I stated in my previous post above in reply to Julia Johnson.
But why not destination series? Should I go exchange it? Is it really that bad? I assume that it's safe, as the brand is reputable, but maybe I'm wrong
This is so true! I’m allergic to corn and canola oil and I have reacted to many olive oils that weren’t pure. I stick with a pure one now. It’s so scary olive oil companies can do this though.
It will get worse, because according to several documentaries- olive trees are dying off rapidly due to climate changes and disease spread by an insect, it takes many years to regrow an olive tree and most of the producers are older trees that are 400-500 years old, Italy has lost already 25 million trees, and of the 500 oil mills one providence had, only 15 are still producing olive oil; th-cam.com/video/bQlrYYJPDqw/w-d-xo.html
Katherine, in today's world, you cannot trust any company. Your are not their primary concern. Their interest is in your pocket and how to save on supplies by putting in something cheaper not caring if they can harm you.
This gets me .. Why isn't this regulated by the FDA ? There should be standards set by law not by corporations who's only interest is how to make as much money as possible
Thank U Flavcity for the video. Salud 🥂 !
Great information. How about the Organic Extra Virgin, cold pressed,Olive oil at Costco? Is it better than the Costco one one you reviewed in your video?
I noticed it’s a bit cheaper than the one showed in the video even though it’s organic so that should ring a bell, also sone Costcos they now sell California EVOO in a glass bottle with extraction date on it, more expensive but it’s worth imo
It is the best.. Simply EVOO gives you a little burning sensation in the throat when tasted... COstco Kirkland organic EVOO is the best , I tried about 20 different types.. so far it is he best...
Very informative, love watching you, straight to the point and no endless drivel like so many youtubers and influencers. Always well researched and I love your delivery! Keep up the good work Bobby!
He is saying all wrong things on this topic!!! Pls research on what means DOP and IGP as quality mark on EU products and do not follow wt this man is saying cause it is not healthy to use amy olive oil contained in plastic bottles, nor we can cook with amy of them.. Extra Virgin Olive oil is the only quality that has to be used exclusively as dressing, never to cook or it turns in to cancerogenic!
I'm not sure about 'getting to the point' when it took 5 minutes to get to the "nitty gritty". Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the video, but even though I skipped through portions, when I would press play again I noticed a lot of repetition in the presentation.
Bottom line though, it's important to get the information out because there seem to be a lot of comments where people didn't know about fake olive oils.
Agree I hate nonsensical videos. Thank you for being straight to the point. Our time is precious. Gives me a chance to go on to the next video
@@lindasue8719
I was disappointed in this video. I wish he would have mentioned the brands that use other oils in their olive oil. I’m not clear about what he was saying. Don’t companies have to list the ingredients due to health issues such as peanut allergies? So, do you have any idea if the “bad EVOL” list the other oils in the product? Thanks 😊
Thanks for the information as I’ve struggled with purchasing the right olive oil. What are your thoughts on Colavita Premium Selection Extra Virgin Olive Oil? From what I’ve read, it seems to be a good choice. Just wanted to know your thoughts.
Yes. I read that also, and that’s what I’ve been using. Would love info on that. It even lists the harvest date on the bottle.
I'm glad a saw this video I'm using the Kirkland olive oil from Costco for years and thank you for letting us know that is a good one.
I've been using the Great Value Organic EVOO. Never ever though to look into how good or how fake it is. May be good or it may not. And like I seen in some of your other videos you said just cause its organic doesn't mean its always good. Love the channel!
I use Costco signature , I love it. I also take 1 tbl in mourning and at bedtime with a little honey and lemon juice. GREAT benefits.
Like what?
Thanks so much for all this info!
The Walmart brand is Pompeian. There is a red circle with a green and gold olive leaf inside that shows whether or not the product is certified pure organic olive oil. It will be on the back of the bottle next to the non-GMO verified label.
3:44 "and they don't put the oil in there when it's super hot"...... EVOO is COLD pressed which means it's not heated up at all, actually by law, the temperature during the process of making the oil has to remain under 27 degrees Celcius (80 F). So, there's no hot oil going in to the plastic bottle.... The best EVOO oil, however, comes in dark glass bottles containing no more than 500 ml and the olives are picked, pressed and bottled in the same country.
Best of all, cook with avocado oil, and use extra virgin olive oil in salads, condiments and such.
@@CarbageMan the best one is lard, ghee or some kind of animal fat. Avocado oil and coconut oil can be used interchangably.
@@monokumannius4522 Unfortunately, most meats are fed junk for food, so YMMV.

@@KimmyC1 for now. But those tables will be turning in 20-25 years.
Dont buy olive oil in pkastic bottles!! Italian Greece and Spanish one are the best, seek for mark DOP or IGP for good italian one!! This man is misinformed on this topic!!!
@@stefaniamirri1112 Nah, Italian labels are just to suck people like you in.
Fillipo Berio is a brand to avoid. I could smell it is just vegetable oil with flair and promptly returned it. I expect flavor and actual bitterness and I got the usual vegetable oil blandness.
Why is the fridge test bogus? And how was the EVOO you reviewed checked? I'm just super skeptical these days
I wondered the same. I didint like that he dismissed an old age test method without giving out the reasons. also , what makes his advertised oils superior. his word ???
Thank you especially about not in sunlight and near heat. 🙏🏽😇📖
How are you sure that Costco olive oil or other brands that you recommend are pure? As a matter of fact, have you had them tested by an independent lab to verify their purity? Can you post the lab results?
In one of his videos(don't recall which one) Dr. Stephen Phinney said he had Costco oil tested. It was80+% monounsaturated, which showed it was pure olive oil.
I work for the company who makes the Costco brand we have our own lab that we test and give the results to all of our customers.
@@artromero1278 Sooo--- what were the results?
@@mozit6 we have multiple types of oils every oil is 100% real if we gave fake results then we wouldn't be #1 in the olive oil industry

Very useful, thanks very much.
Thanks, Bobby for this helpful video. However, I still don't know how to distinguish between a good EVOO and a fake one?
Do you only approve these olive oils that you showed in this video?
Is there any other way to distinguish a fake olive oil? like how do I know that the oils that you recommended in your previous videos (e.g. Walmart, Sams' Club, Aldi, etc) are NOT fake?
Regards,
Very good remark ❣️
I'd love to know as well.
Here's a taste test, from Dr. Eric Berg (keto youtuber): Drink a little of the oil straight. Pure EVOO will burn the back of your throat a little bit. I'm pretty sure that Colavita and California Olive Ranch 100% California (not a blend) both burn. Unfortunately I don't know what to look for on a label, except to look for the higher-priced oils.
I love your videos, but I live in a community that is 80 miles from the next town as big as mine. When Walmart and Meijer came in they drove all the local stores out. I have very limited choices, and a small budget. It’s a shame that rural low income families are limited to unhealthy foods.
I know he means well. While I don’t agree with everything he says here, it would be nice if he would review EVOO’s from Walmart, Aldi, etc., because it’s what many have access to.
@@jillom397 Walmart sells California Ranch. This oil has also been given a thumbs up by America's Test Kitchen. If they don't have it on the shelf at your store, they sell it on their website.
@@tcorbett72 But make sure it is not part of the Destination series. The 100 percent American is pure, high-quality EVOO.
Great information. Thank you!
great video, how do you go about choosing the oils as far as designations or certifications / region / price? in this order?
Watching from Tunisia. We export Olive oil and what you've said is real. Many are fake and of low quality especially in Asia. Thanks for your video.
I buy organic Terra Delyssa olive oil from Tunisia .Is it good?
The olive oil I buy is sourced from Tunisia. I love it. The flavor is great.
I thought I saw a paid promotion for certain brands but I genuinely hope you are honest with your audience.
That was my thought exactly
You still didn’t tell us how to determine if it’s legit. Other than buying the bottles you showed us on the video.
He’s said it a bunch before. Look for single origin (from one country) or expeller pressed.
Thanks buddy. Im fairly on your side. God bless for exposing evil
Wow! This really makes you wonder what other ingredients labels are lying to us!? Traceability of our foods and medicines is a huge problem today.
And yet it's better than it's ever been in human history. Get a clue. Not all that long ago, companies weren't required to list ingredients at all.
When you have food allergies I have Celiac disease it’s like important that I read every label. I was glad when they started to put everything on things and now they even list allergy items that are most important.
You don’t know how hard it can be to find GF food. I can’t even buy a can of Campbells soups. Labeling is so important
I’ve been to the California Olive Ranch as part of my job. I’ve seen the trees so I have great confidence in them.
I heard it is one of the better ones. It also comes in a green bottle, not plastic. I have been using it for years.
@@mdolphins4779 me to unfortunately he said negative stuff about the Destination variety , which is always marked down at the store and sold at Vita cost ..It been my regular for years ...Never seen the 100 per. Label
Hi, Bobby thank you for the useful information. I have a question.. Olive oil doesn't need to be organic?
I upgraded since. I use the California Ranch purse for dressing but like the Kirkland Italian EVO for mix of everything. I still like the Kirkland organic EVO for everything else including cooking. I stay below it smoke point because I don’t like to smell after. I use the Coconut when I need more heat & blend w/ ghee butter
