I’ve been purchasing my olive oil from an Iranian market for the past 10 years. The Iranian owner says the Lebanese brand Saifan is the best.

Thanks, John, for advocating for the integrity of olive oil. As a Southern Italian producer of extra virgin olive oil, I see firsthand the meticulous care and traditional methods we employ to ensure the highest quality product.

Indeed, it's disheartening that many consumers are being deceived by adulterated oils on the market. Awareness is key, and your video contributes to this important mission.

In addition to your tips, I recommend buying directly from a trusted source or producer when possible. Not only does this ensure the quality and authenticity of your olive oil, but it also supports local farmers who pour their hearts into their craft.

Keep spreading the word, and let's help more people discover the genuine richness of real olive oil!

You never mention how to be sure it is
What any what and how?

California has the best regulations when it comes to producing REAL olive oil. Get a bottle that has a California Olive Oil Council stamp of approval. They have stricter requirements for extra virgin olive oil than both domestic and international regulations.

extra virgin oil? so now they're selling my tears in bottles?

[temperateortropical]

Fridge test it. If the sample remains clear, toss out the bottle.

[neunciavbudbnu]

what's the name of the dozens of olive themen claim are real and what's the name of his brand ?

[qualityman]

Nothing wrong with a blend from different sources as long as it's real.

[berdugong-druglordmanyakis]

So del monte’s contadina brand could also be possibly fake too???

[cultofmalgus]

1:39 yeah it's time to change that.

[rahadmin]

so how lame is this? to know if it is real the criteria is it should be priced high, small producer and should say grown in....

[vsrawat]

California, makes great extra virgin olive oil. Real olive oil will say, (expeller pressed.)

[peterallen]

As usual you reporters don’t know ****
You said absolutely nothing about how to buy a good olive oil.
Few things
Must be in glass or metal container.
Must have a harvest date and exp date. Real good olive oil only keeps its freshness for a year. Etc etc etc

The end there? Bullshit. Extra virgin olive oils are naturally a little bitter. That's one of the reasons (besides cost) they blend them with canola, etc.
