The olive oils with little flavor, I feel, actually serve a purpose. They can be used instead of any vegetable oil without imbuing a regional/olive flavor. I think that is why many olive oils in the USA are toned down. When I am cooking a dish that I want to add some zing to, I can grab one of the other olive oils that have more of a profile. I NEVER want to use canola, vegetable, or crappy seed oils in my cooking, which are so prevalent in the USA. So it is generally olive or avocado oil in anything I cook.

I’ve heard that because Olive Oil is a monounsaturated fat, it will still break down under the heat of cooking. For this reason you can drizzle it over food after removed from the heat, but you should not cook with it. You should cook with saturated fats such as Coconut Oil or Avocado Oil that won’t break down under heat.

You should always test your “olive oil” by putting some in the refrigerator overnight and see if it solidifies. You will often find that the ones with stamps of origin coming from multiple countries are cut with other (unhealthy) oils that don’t solidify (do so at much lower temperatures). If your oil is multi-national like this they have obfuscated who did so, right? Real olive oil solidifies in the fridge.

As of Apr. 2024, the price has surged to $27.99, and that's where it stands now-in the same month you posted your video.

Second, why would a smaller-size bottle stay fresher? Makes no sense. Regardless of the bottle size, you should consume opened EVOO within 30-60 days to maximize the polyphenols, which degrade much faster once you've opened the bottle. This means you should match your _consumption level_ to this recommended consumption window.

Totally agree. If you want an olive oil with a grassy finish and a little burn after taste then look for an EVOO that is 100% Arbequina olives. Be sure there is a harvest date on the bottle NOT a best by date. The harvest date states when the EVOO was produced. EVOO is good for about 1 year. Here is one I found that is superb: "The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, a small California Indian tribe in Capay Valley, Northern California, grows, mills, and sells extra virgin olive oil under the brand name Séka Hills. The tribe's olive oil is used in over 200 restaurants, including Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and is also sold in specialty shops and upscale farmers markets."

I'm in China, and it is fairly easy (in Shenzhen) to find Betis Spanish olive oil. It lists everything except polyphenol content. The QR code seems to take me to a site that is inaccessible without logging in, giving away one's email address, but the oil at least has the fragrance, bitterness, and pepperiness one would hope to find. One concern with the Costco (and some of the larger sizes of mid-premium brands such as Betis) is the use of plastic containers. With what we now know of microplastics getting into us via plastic containers, I choose to avoid the Costco brand and others that are in plastic bottles.

Steven Gundry mentioned that the EV olive oils that had the best nutritional value for gut health were the ones grown in less than ideal climates, i.e., more desert-like climates, because the olive trees produce some enzyme in greater abundance when they have to work harder to survive. The Terra Delyssa oil is grown in Tunisia, not in the lush areas of Greece, Italy, or California. I prioritize health over infinitessimal differences of taste, so that's the one I choose.

when I researched the Kirkland brand I found that it is made of different kinds of olive oil and has no filler oils in it as well as being extra virgin organic. it is a pretty good salad and cooking oil but for cooking you have to be careful when it reaches its smoke point...

The problem is we do not have a Costco within a hundred miles. Funny you can travel to Italy but cant get to Aldi's which is nationwide. I bought Aldi's for years, then switched to Walmart because of my grocery card that pays for it and I use Walmarts brand Extra Virgin Organic Oil and it has a nice peppery kick, just for those interested.

I actually was already buying cobram estate for about a year now from Walmart, and I just came across this video, I knew it would be right at the top of your list, however I never shopped at Costco before and I don't know if the Kirkland olive oil is in a plastic bottle or a glass bottle, that is very important also, if it's in a plastic bottle than it's going to have leaching of micro plastics in the olive oil, they were correct to have a dark green or brown bottle to protect it from sunlight exposure to prevent the olive oil from getting rancid. If the Kirkland olive oil has a plastic bottle than the number one ranked olive oil in the video would definitely be cobram estate. 🙂

I wish you had included Star brand EVOO. It's my go to for cooking and salad dressings. It tastes decent and has a surprisingly peppery finish. No harvest date but the olives come from Tunisia and Spain. What I really love about the product is the "2 in 1" pour spout. One side gives you a slow drizzle and the other side a healthy pour so you can always pour out just the amount you want. Very convenient. I also buy the Calif Olive Ranch 100% Calif. bottling and I think it's quite good. It's what I use for dipping bread. But I think it's around $14-$15 for 500ml. Worth it tho, IMO.

I have been using the Costco olive oil for years. It is simply the best olive oil anywhere even close, or not close, to its price point.

If you're not used to tasting olive oil (8:29) you may not like the burn in the back of throat caused by the oleocanthal. An alternative way to see if you like the flavour is to pour into a tablespoon and spinkle a bit of salt on it, then taste it. This will give you a better indication of hiw "tasty" it is because most if the foods we cook in olive oil are going to be salted. Personally, I like the traditional robust tasting first cold-pressed (extra virgin) olive oil which is quite peppery. The brand I buy is from a farmer coop called Molon Lavé (Lakonia, Greece). It is sold in steel cans, but would be about $50CAD for 3L.

Great video, Nicole and Mark! You’re so good at this! So how about more blind taste testing of some other pantry staples?! Here’s some ideas: 1. Balsamic Vinegars: Similar to olive oils, balsamic vinegars have a wide range of quality and price points. You could test different brands to find the best flavor and value. 2. Specialty Salts: With various types of salt available (e.g., Himalayan pink, sea salt, kosher salt), you could compare their flavor profiles and textures to find the best all-purpose salt. 3. Dark Chocolate Bars: Test different brands and cocoa percentages to find the richest, most flavorful dark chocolate bars. 4. Artisanal Bread Flours: Compare different brands and types of bread flour (e.g., all-purpose, bread flour, ancient grain) to find the best for baking. 5. Gourmet Coffee Beans: Blind test various coffee beans to find the best flavor profiles and roasts. 6. Infused Honey: With many flavors and brands available, you could test different infused honeys to find the best taste and value. 7. Canned Tomatoes: Compare different brands and types (e.g., San Marzano, cherry tomatoes, etc.) to find the best flavor and quality.

If you're buying olive oil from Italy , make sure it's stated 100% Italian , do not buy oils coming from all over the EU. Another thing is to avoid plastic containers.

Or would olives need to be steamed to soften?

I believe that olive oil is like wine, every years production can change the flavor of the end product. I think the producers should tie a name to each batch, so buyers could get the same bottle that they like hopping it was stored properly. Thanks for the information.

Italian EVO is like cooking oil… bland and flavourless. My family owns its own olive trees and produces oil for our own consumption. So, I am speaking from experience. In this respect, the explanation given in this video (that producers tend to sell milder-flavoured EVO in the American market) is a good indication of what I’m saying. My family’s EVO is so much more flavourful than what is sold in North America. Also, a lot of olive oil today comes from tightly-packed groves of dwarf olive trees, which were bred for convenience of picking, rather for the quality of flavour of its olives. These produce vastly inferior oil. My family’s trees are the tall, ancient, gnarled variety, that were planted by my ancestors. They are the ones that produce the best, healthiest and most flavourful oil.

One of the best olive oils I've ever tasted was an olive oil made packed by Progresso. I grew up in northern New Jersey and that's all my mother, my grandmother and my aunt would buy along with other progressive products like their bread crumbs. It was a very robust olive oil with such a great flavor which I have not been able to find in most other olive oils. Unfortunately, Progresso stopped selling that olive oil. The oil was from Italy as it stated on the containers, but as I said it's gone now. So many times a great product are discontinued and I can't understand why especially when it was very popular.

@joelowens5211 6 күн бұрын

Our Publix puts olive oil half off ( Buy one get one free ) at least a few times a month. We just buy whichever one is on sale. Most times it's Bertolli. The Costco thing you really need a huge family with the membership and make huge part of the day thing. Our Publix is 5 minutes away from the house so in and out whole weeks groceries in about 45 minutes.
