How can something be EXTRA virgin? That's the question that started this video but quickly unraveled into the slippery world of olive oil fraud. Major brands have been accused and convicted of selling fake olive oil; the extent of the criminality varies from the relatively harmless to surprising lies. In this video, Sabrina explores the nomenclature of olive oil and convinces Melissa to do a splash of olive oil fraud, kinda.

Welcome to the joke under the fold! Turns out olives aren't that ripe with puns but here's a seasonal one that it very very silly.
Did you know that Santa actually has 10 reindeer? You may know Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph, but do you remember Olive? You know, Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names!
That pun was worse than usual. I'm sorry. Leave a comment with the word OLIVE to let me know you were here ;-)

I hope you enjoyed that video! Do you like olive oil? Did you know it was supposed to be spicy because it's apparently supposed to be spicy ??? If you want some behind the scenes from this video, make sure to subscribe to our newsletter: www.answerinprogress.com/newsletter

@javiskii 3 жыл бұрын

I'm from the region that produces most of the olive oil on Earth, Andalucia (Spain) and here, if it's not a bit "spicy" (if it is spicy, it stays on the tong) then it's not good olive oil (also, the deeper the green the better, I have pics of different types if you want to know)

@XeniaTombrou 3 жыл бұрын

So Sabrina..... Acidity - you did find out what that means in olive oil right???? It is the percentage of free oleic acid . So this oleic acid is the good of virgin olive oil. if you damage the olive, or press it with heat, then the oil is broken in three (I cannot find the source, but the olive oil molecule is a three part thingy) I can send you pictures from the live harvest of me and my parents. The cold press and green olives we picked has only a 10% olive oil per weight. We got 50 litres for 500 kilos of olives.

@frleulenberger 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, but I was fortunate enough that, buying olive oils in my job, I had the priviledge to visit small cooperative olive oil producers in Andalucia producing a real great extra virgin olive oil, though there's slight differences to the one you produced in the video - might have to do with the fresh olives going straight from the trees to the oil mill though. XD

@@Siberius- I would even say, that fresh olives might not be sold at all. I mean, the reason for them being preserved in any given way might be that they could spoil very quick. Also, different than for example blueberries, there is not a big market of people who want to buy the product on a daily basis. While blueberries are available in the shop here in Europe all year through, they are a seasonal product and have to be imported during the winter from somewhere else.

I know people who use extra virgin oil both for everything, and only for dressing. The difference I noticed is that people who use it only for dressing tend to do so because they think it's very expensive and they don't want to "waste money". It may be not as expensive as in the US, but expending €5/$6 on a bottle every two weeks is kind of a lot for a lot of people, specially when you compare it to other cheaper oils. Even among those who use it for everything think it's expensive, but they think the "sacrifice" is worth it.

I went to a uni that was based as an agricultural school, we had olive trees all over campus and even though they looked like decoration, they weren't, they were harvested every year and different products were made from them, including evoo (which could be bought in the campus bookstore lol). The uni has a LOT of different studies/faculties going on there, but no matter what your major was, a student almost always came out of that school knowing some things about agriculture (it's one of the first unis in the States to have a viticulture and brewing school where you could even get a master's in those subjects). As for olive oil, one thing we all learned was if you lived in a region of the world that produced its own olive oil, 9 times out of ten you should buy olive oil from that region, less time in shipping and sitting on the shelf means better quality, and with oils that can go rancid, this is a big factor.

I'm from Spain and we have different types of olive oil widely available here, in any supermarket you'll find at least an extra virgin and a refined one. There's usually variety within those as well though, depending on the type of olive used or how strong the taste is. I thought this was normal until I went to live in the US for a year and there I only saw the extra virgin kind. I have to say I'm not surprised it may be fake oil because fairly often the taste was pretty different from the one here. It definitely was much milder and reminded me more of the refined oil than the extra virgin one.

Tbh that explains more my frustration while watching the video. I didn't understand how they weren't familiar with the different types(just the types, not production etc) of olive oil and how they couldn't taste the difference? I mean, they apparently have tasted olive oil and felt kinda familiar with the concept, so I couldn't figure out how confusing this could be. At the end of the video starting realising that they probably have only one type and probably from a not-actually-olive-oil kinda brand.

I'm so glad that you talked about this! It's actually a HUGE problem because a lot of people have dietary restrictions that make them sicker when they consume canola/vegetable oil. For those people their options are typically avocado and olive oil, and most prefer olive. They often don't even know that they continue to have symptoms because of the fraudulent oil, which causes them to further restrict their diet looking for a solution, or even giving up. It's horrible, these companies profit off of worsening peoples' sicknesses. As a tip, actual olive oil MUST be stored in dark containers, so while dark container =/= real, clear container = real. Cooking with lard is a great option (easy to make it yourself so you can be sure it's real), but the flavor makes it incompatible with a lot of dishes.

I had good oil from greece, spain and italy, in the end the climate is similar and the conditions comparable. Of course there will be differences, but that's also true from region to region like in wine.

The best olive oil is Italian; however, if you don't live in Italy, more likely than not you are better off NOT buying oil sold as "Italian" (except maybe from Eataly, but they will rip off you an arm and a leg). If you consider that Italy consume twice as much olive oil than they produce, you can form a rough estimate of your chances of buying genuine Italian olive oil. Also, if you are not buying the super extra fancy stuff, Spanish and Greek oils are as good as the Italian ones, with less chances of adulteration.

Thanks for your video. When I learned that there was a lot of fake olive oil in the world, I decided not to ever buy imported ever again. I'm in the USA and I decided to only buy olive oil grown in California. I figure that anyone claiming their EVOO is grown in California would face great scrutiny in that state, and likely be called out for any discrepancy. So there is a brand called California Olive Oil, and they do have their own farm groves and they harvest, press and bottle it. They sell both 100% California grown (more expensive), and blends of imported EVOO, from companies they trust. I don't know if I should trust them, but since it appears likely that I can, that is what I've used for several years.

Living in California, I know we grow a lot of olives in this state and I’m just like hey, why do we need Italian olive oil? We could be making olive oil on par with the greats but we keep the price and quality low instead!

I discovered this channel yesterday from a video featuring Tom Scott. I watched most of the videos now. I never laughed as much before on a video. You have a new fan! It is even better that you are also from Canada!

There once was a man who was allergic to olives. After realizing he accidentally ate a pizza that had them he calmly paused his chewing and said, “S’all good I’ll live”😉

It's 6AM in Spain, I have watched a bunch of your videos in the last hour or two...honestly time has flown, so glad I stayed in on this rainy/cold Friday, well I guess Saturday now lol. I LOVE ALL OF THEM! New suscriber, clicked the bell I'm so glad I found this channel. PS. Melissa drinking that olive oil and describing it with such pain made me laugh out loud so much I think I might have woken up my neighbours, oops haha.

In Virgin olive oil, the olives are crushed and blended, centrifuge is used to separate oil from water (since olives have both) I suggesting looking at videos of the process

Another great video! Really makes me happy how this channel is growing day by day. Speaking of oils, will you talk about the myths about mustard oil? In this Indian subcontinent, it's a famous cooking oil and consumed regularly, while many of the countries (including EU, USA, and Canada) have banned mustard oil for consumption. I've seen many popular dieticians talking about the benefits of mustard oil and it really has gone out of hand. I couldn't find anything reliable on the internet which refers to this oil as "good for health". I'm really confused. I can't figure out where all of these started.

I just found your videos through recommended and I've been binging them since. I just wanted to say thank you for this high quality content. You and your friends appear insanely charismatic and this content is well reasearched and has such a high production quality. It's been a while since I've been that amazed by a content creator. There is so much attention to detail, like the non binary gender graph in the dating video. I do 3d, motion design & such stuff for work and I've always been keeping myself from starting an actual KZfaq channel. Your videos might just push me over the edge to actually get started! Keep up making these awesome videos!
