I’m so lucky to live in Spain. Olive oil is strictly regulated and I can even chose the olive variety I want.

My aunt drank half a glass of extra virgin cold pressed olive oil, mixed with a squeeze of lemon juice and a light sprinkling of salt, twice a week. She lived a healthy life and died peacefully in her sleep aged 95. My sister's in-laws owned an artizan olive oil press, where local farmers would bring their sacks of olives during harvest season. I remember, as a young boy, eating freshly baked flat bread, smothered with freshly pressed olive oil with a sprinkle of salt. Nothing beats the flavour of oil which is literally a few minutes old! I can confirm that the fresher the oil, the more fragrant, spicy and peppery it is.

Tips for getting good olive oil according to this video. 1. When olives harvested? 2. Where harvested? 3. Was it cold pressed? 4. Is EVO fruity, peppery tasting ? 5. Look for the California Council Olive Oil?

Olive oil is liquid gold for body and soul. 😊#hatersaretraitors#

Another great thing is apple cider vinegar every day! My grandmother put vinegar on everything and she lived to 103.

DO NOT TRUST THE LABEL. that's your first tip.

She speaks the truth, quite beautifully, but also put organic coconut oil in your diet too, many great benefits including brain health; you can cook in it too, good high temp characteristics.

Great job teaching. We are not always fighting weight and other problems but the government approving chemicals and false advertising. Thanks for being direct and not a waste of time like other videos

Try this cocktail in the morning on empty stomach before 1st meal: Olive oil + fresh squeezed lemon + honey + cayenne pepper

That was very helpful and informative,I did not know all this was important,thanks.

I used to hate olive oil, my mother would cook with it, and I grew to resent it. However I now use quality extra virgin oil but only to dress food on my plate after its been Cooked and I absolutly love it. I never cook with it only I only pour it over the top before I eat. As the comments below its liquid gold. My skin now glows gold after making this change.

who the heck hates olive oil, something really wrong with you.

Very informative. And well presented. Thank you Blanche.

I live in Spain and the olive oil here is fantastic. In extra-virgin olive oil, they have either filtered or unfiltered. I prefer the unfiltered kind. Just personal preference. And yes, it is so peppery that you have to be careful when you drink it, as it tickles the back of your throat and you cough like crazy! I use it 90% of the time. Great stuff and great heart and anti-oxidant benefits.😊

Never mind the oil, could watch and listen to you all day, absolutely stunning.

My grandpa used to drink it straight. And he even puts it in his hair haha

If I find lip stick on my olive oil bottle, I'm blaming you! Actually I'm with you, I drink a tablespoon of olive oil with lemon juice every day. Great video, thanks!

Thanks for the great tips and info. Been having a hard time figuring out quality over quanity and expense.

Very interesting Blanche, I learned so much in 6 minutes. Thank you.

The veil has been lifted off my eyes on olive oil. I have been lied too! Great vid.

Wow, I didn't really paid attention to this. What I realized is that it did reduced significantly my craving for sweets and sugary foods for almost 20 years now. I don't like the taste of olive oil but knowing its benefits to health I keep taking them almost daily. This been a great tips on choosing the right olive oil plus your smile before the video started has been awesomely beautiful. Thanks for the good sharing. Bless you.

I love quality olive oil . Using olive oil has improved my overall health. My doctor says he has noticed the difference too.

Great Information ! 👏💖

I consume olive and avocado oils the most. Healthy and delicious!!!

Hi blanche, thanks for the tips. So sweet of you to share some of your knowledge.

I loved your video. Great information I am going to use. Thanks

Thanks for making this enlightening video! To me, life would be worthless and tasteless without real EVOO.

Strange. First time in my life I've ever thought it might be nice to trade places with an olive oil bottle.

Extremely useful and upsetting information! THANK YOU!

So nicely explained dear.

Thank you for reaching out

I have no idea how I ended up here. But, I'm ever so glad I checked your tips out. I've noted the differences between extra virgin and the paler fakes in terms of flavor and richness over the years, and now I know what those differences are. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much. I learned something today. Excellent Video!

wonderful advice, thank you sooo much. i appreciate it.

You speak direct from heart So honest So true So real Thanks for sharing your experience with us all .... Thanks for the Kindness

Real olive oil is spicy and will solidify in the fridge 🇵🇸🌿❤ we used to collect our olives from our olive trees in our land, then my father used to take them to a factory to press them for us و يجيبهم تنكات زين زتون

Thank you for the info Using for my health!

Great info! Thanks for sharing.

Jeez! It's great to hear an American ladys voice that has some beauty and musicality to it. This, rather than the absolutely dreadful "creaky voice/vocal fry" that 90% of American women from 14 years upwards (even the men are starting it now) enjoy to give, which makes their voice unlistenable.

Excellent video! شكراً

Thanks, I needed that!

Thank you for the important information!

pretty timely, since i just bought some I suspected wasnt real.. thanks for the tips and advice! always love your videos

Great vid, thank you! I take a couple of tablespoons of organic extra virgin olive oil every morning along with my organic acv and lemon juice.

Thanks for the video and great advice.

Thanks Miss Blanche! Good information. I also agree about paying attention to your own knowledge passed from before you by others and your family.

I discovered the benefits of longevity of olive oil when I worked for the East India Trading Company back in 1466 when i was captain of a trading ship. We would pick up shipments of olives and oils at Portugese and Italian ports. Thanks to Olive Oil , I'm still alive today .

Very good one ! You would add freezing test to identify if olive oil is fake or not. Great effort appreciated 🙏💓

Good video! Thank you for sharing.

VERY NICE PRESENTATION...THANK YOU

Thank you,on excellent advice, God Bless you.

Thank You !

good review. thank you.

Very Very Very good advice - thanks

Thank you, Bravo fantastic video! Blanche, forgive me but, eyes, eyes oh those eyes! Bless you.

Maybe it's just me but I take a slug of Apple Cider Vinegar, one of olive oil first thing each morning followed by vitamins and 20 ozs of water. I cant remember the last time I was sick and take no prescriptions.

Great tips, thanks for sharing..

Thank you so much for this video!!!!

Thank you for sharing! 🙋🏻‍♂️😊👏 What are the best brand names of olive oil that I always should buy? 🤷🏻‍♂️😊

The LORD led me to this video. Because I was planning on purchasing some olive oil. Thanks for the explaining everything!

Absolutely the best video for tips on choosing a quality olive oil, thank you

Thank you for the tips I will try it out

I live in Australia and we are blessed with the availability of high quality Olive Oil that is grown locally, so that's all I buy now, especially after the revelation that MOST of the European Olive Oil that is exported from its country of origin has been found to be old and rancid and of very poor quality by being blended with other oils.

great info...also, make sure it come in a dark bottle & store it in the dark rather that on a sunny shelf 🤔

Thank you for the video !

Great info and subsequent to your post others have said the same but you said it first!

I put 2 grapefruits in my Vita-mix puree it then add 3Tbls of olive oil and blend on low speed for around 30secs....and that's breakfast! My numbers don't lie, I've lost weight and painfree on my joints! Love your video. And I'm off my Liver meds since June 2019!!

It’s nice to see a classy young lady like yourself up I really appreciate the way you presented to the facts about olive oil I’ve been using olive oil for years never knew some of the things you commented on thank you very much my name is Jim I’m from Pennsylvania have a nice day

Thank you Blanch for your olive oil info!!

Enjoyed this informative video.

I use DOÑA ELINA brand of EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL..I'm so happy because when I checked the bottle it was made by Spain....

Thanks Blanche. Avocado oil is also good.

Good information, thank you

YES!! TRUTH!!! Thank you! i also have to buy mine in a glass bottle...Partanna is my favorite.

I was looking for some home DIY test that I could do to test the Olive oil. Looking, place or date of production etc can all be counterfeited, like you said, they put in crappy oil and some color and then rename it as VOO so actually there is nothing to stop them from jest adding what you are looking for to the label. Taste might be the only useful tip that you give but since these counterfeiters are always one step ahead of the game there is no way to really tell. Plus there aren't many people who know the real taste of fresh cold pressed olives. I myself rely on the finger test. We been blessed several times with the real stuff from a Syrian friend whose family own an VOO home business. The thing I noticed is tha the oil doesn't stick to your fingers, its not sticky and goeey like other oils and another remarkable thing I have noticed is that for as long as this Syrian VOO tin lasts I can wash the dishes in plain water and it comes out squeaky clean! You can literally hear the squeaking sound when you rub the plate between your fingers. My mother uses the taste test mostly. The bitter the better she says. But then every one cannot rely on such reliable supplies of oil, what we as consumers need to do is: 1: Report the fakes when we discover it 2: Use the internet to expose the fake companies, 3: Consumers should unite and force their governments to do their job and look after their food security. Its the governments job to do as those tests, which ordinary consumers cannot do. Fake food stuff should be black listed, like fake medicine and this list should available to the public and like fake medicine, fake food should also carry a liability and sellers and suppliers of fake food should be fined heavily and punished after all these fakes put our lives at risk more than fake medicine, which maybe taken by a few but fake food is consumed by all. ; We get

Thanks for the great tips! One of the things I noticed is the way the olive oil acts in your mouth. This is like a texture thing and if you're sensitive to textures and the feel of oil in your mouth, you will know what I mean. Olive oil that is real must go down smoothly like cough syrup. It should not have any aftertaste or any unpleasant feeling in your mouth the same way as if you just fed yourself a spoonful of cooking grease. The FEEL of it and the way it acts in your mouth is important, I noticed. I got that one tip from another site which promotes real olive oil as well.

Thanks for info, good to know.

I enjoyed your video. Great tips. Thanks.

1, location of harvest, 2. Date 3, cold press 4, taste 5, COOC

There is one major difference between olive oil and all the other cooking oils. Olive oil is from the fruit of the olive like wine is from the grapes. Other cooking oils are processed from the seeds. This alone makes olive oil the better oil. Like you I cook my morning omelets in olive oil - I never have a bad omelet.

Thanks for the calcium tip

Nice video, thanks.

Hi Blanche, Thanks for mentioning how ridiculous it is to get light oil! I produce my own organic cold pressed, unfiltered olive oil from indigenous oilives. I only craft 1,5ton to make 100 to 150 litres. Just a comment, cold press relates to keeping temperature low, not so much about not applying heat (I am not sure if anyone applies heat deliberately). In the process of processing, if its done too fast, might raise temperature above some 26c (80F). This prevents degrading the olive oil. Another issue you could mention is unfiltered. I dont filter so all the natural particles that add flavour are kept. Those will create a small deposit after some months that one can decant to prevent getting rancid. THis adds a load of flavour to oil. So young olive oil has a stronger taste and only my oil that is stored more than 6 months will be decanted. A tip you could give is to always keep the bottles below those 80F, and I store mine in the cellar just next to the wine. Ah, I meant indiginouse olives, because my 42 trees are over 100 years old slow producing from a Galician tree subspecies. The industrial Oilive Farms use a high yield which has a less stronger taste. I am not advertising since I dont sell my oil, only give small bottles for free to business partners and friends since commercially these bottles would be worth more than 50 USD a littre just to cover production costs. If it wasnt for the ridiculous shipping cost I would gladly gift you 25cc as you are one of the few that appreciate quality. Regards, Leonel

Thanks, I've been wondering about this issue for years after reading an article about the plethora of fraudulent brands on grocery store shelves. I'd also like to say I lowered my cholesterol by using olive oil almost everyday, and my doctor thought it was the statins she prescribed, and I admitted I never took them.

Thanks for your knowledge of olive oil.

Great advice thanks.

And looking so pretty too btw i’m sure all of the polyphenols found in olive oil is giving your beautiful hair & skin that “ I totally wake up looking like this “ look

You can (should) consume olive oil from those four major Mediterranean countries; Italy, Spain, Turkey and Greece without hesitation.

Thank you dear for the very informative video your putting out, bless you and stay positive.

I put olive oil on my eggs too:D

they should be shut down for fake anything

Love your unbalanced and extremely ethereal hair style...and of course your information on EVOO.

Good info Thanks🌹🌹🌹😊

I had to give you thumbs up for chugging the bottle.

Fortunaly, here in Spain we’re lucky to buy it directly to the producers. The taste and flavor depends on the variety of olive. You can find strong and spicy flavors or delicate and Soft and fruited oils too. Is hard to find here fake olive oil, in fact it is something that we not even consider. All this subject are strongly regulated. Even if buy your oil in a supermarket is almost impossible it will be fake but it will no have de good quality from a extra virgen oil....

Thank you Blanche. You look gorgeous in this video.

Right On For The Tips!

Olives and olive oil are medicine of God, thank you gorgeous.
