I come from an olive oil producing family. Figuring out the quality of your olive oil is very important. Greek olive oils are some of the best in the world. Most Greek olive oil is purchased by Italy and Spain to mix with their lesser quality olive oils that these nations produce. Or they tend to sell as "Italian" etc. Many olive oil brands are also diluted with "other oils" making higher profit margins for companies. Avoid olive oils in dark green coloured bottles....excellent olive oil should be dark green by nature.
Thanks. Aldi - dark green glass bottles 🙄
See the colour when pouring it out of the bottle. Dark bottles help it against getting rancid 🤗
Can we mail order Greek EVOO?
@@happycoyotestruthsaboutpea1706dark green bottles maybe, but oil within is not so green…🤔
What color should the bottle be?
My daughter was just in Morocco and she brought me home a marvelous bottle of green mud, no I meant olive oil. The writing is all in Arabic so don’t ask me what it says. Best stuff I’ve ever had. I’m going to cry when the bottle is empty 😢
As a farmer and producer of Organic EVOO, I would like to thank for educating people to choose carefully.
im from South Africa what brand can you recommend to buy especially in Cape Town as I'm not familiar with olive oil
If it doesn't give a burning sensation w/ U swallow, & if it doesn't solidify in refrigerator, its not true olive oil❤
So u saying I bought 20 dollar olive oil for no reason bc it didn’t burn my throat
@@justpitiful6339 usually that means it's a mixture of oils, make sure u read ingredients & if it came from more than one place of origin which is usually a mix of oils, also if it doesn't solidify in frig overnight its not authentic olive oil
9@@goldie6649
They can and do add 🌶 peppers to fool you.
@@justpitiful6339Did you take it by the spoonful? If you had it with food you probably won't feel the burning. If you take a nice big spoonful of it and just swallow it, that's when you should feel it. I bought one with a nice color and it burns my throat but didn't solidify, so who knows if it's a good one.
Olive oil should be used in the first year after pressing.
The taste varies depending on weather conditions and the time the olives have been harvested. Some places harvest them very early and the olives and oil are green, the taste is fruity with a "bite" in the throat and the acidity low. That is the best oil for health. Other places prefer to let the olives mature and they turn to light brown and the oil is yellow and more sweet with higher acidity. Acidity should be written on the bottle and should not be more than 1% for extra virgin and it depends on the weather through the whole year and the time of harvesting.
Oil from hills and mountains is in general of superior quality than that from valleys.
Extra virgin oil is sometimes mixed with cheap refined olive oil that still freezes so the freezer test is not that accurate.
Never buy in plastic bottles, metal also not that good
@peterpeper4837
Do you know another method that can be used to test the quality of olive oil ?
@@ananke2104
You can not test it at home unfortunately. You need to send a sample to a lab.
Even producers have to send a sample to determine the acidity of the production.
In very few countries the acidity has to be written on the bottle by law, then you more or less know what you get, at least in that respect, but in most countries it is not written. Still acidity is not the only factor for quality but it is important that it is low for health. The best judge for quality at home is taste, but you need to develop it by using high quality from a local producer that you know and trust. The very best is light green and cloudy with a very fruity taste and low acidity. After three months of the pressing date the particles of the olives that make it cloudy are settling to the bottom and are oxidised and that rises acidity too.
@@christy7344 I do not live in the US, I would not know. But even in countries that produce lots of good olive oil like Spain and Italy, nothing in the supermarket comes even close to what you can get from a local producer who produce first and formost for their own families. Try to get local oils if you can
Excellent
@@peterpeper4837 ~Thank you for the good information. Do you know if an inexpensive Italian olive oil called “Gallo” any good?
I'm 73. Every morning I eat a huge family size salad with about 20 vegetables with Organic extra virgin olive oil and organic apple cider vinegar with my own blend of spices that I put together. Last time I had a health checkup was in the 1970s. I exercise regularly but moderately without overdoing it. I'm a cyclist I don't have a car so that keeps me in shape and I spent most of my life as a carpenter. I'm the same weight now that I was in my twenties. I don't even bother to renew my health card cuz I've never really used it.
good to hear that sir ❤
The cope is strong in this one.
that is amazing that you dont use a car. what country do you live in?
@@JD-tn5tb Canada.
You have an excellent lifestyle James!
I was born in the region of Calabria in southern Italy, I know very well how olive oil should taste. We in the family owned many olive trees, and I and all my siblings took part in gathering the fruit, taken to the mill, and even watched when the oil was extracted. Of course olive oils do not taste all the same, all the regions of the peninsula produce oil including the inlands of Sardinia and Sicily. Most the oils in all the regions are made with many different kinds of olives, and this make the oils taste different but equally delicious.
@@christy7344 it depends on the region, the type of olives, and the type of soil. I know where I came from it moe greenish, Sicily and Sardinia could be some of the same olive 🫒 and some different which the oil could be more golden. Remember of all the peninsula making oils, they taste different, and look different but equally delicious.
As a rule of thumb, don’t buy any olive oil that doesn’t have an expiration date. When you find one that has it, be sure it is good at least for more than one year from the date you purchase it. European Olive Oils also can be labeled DOP (red sticker) or IGP (blue sticker) and these labels are given only to high quality olive oils. Some of the red sticker oils (DOP) also have the “vintage” printed on the label. As of now (9/23) look for 2022 harvest, since 2023 harvest is just happening now. Last thing: when you buy good olive oil, use it! Don’t keep it open for months. Open it and use it in a couple of weeks max. It starts to degrade immediately after pressing, if you expose it to oxidation it won’t last more than two weeks tops.
This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it Amen

I drank olive oil for a month to fight skin problems I had and you wouldn't believe the compliments I received from others telling me how beautiful and glowing my skin was. There are many many other benefits as well for internal organs. My source is Kirkland olive oil from Costco from Italy only.
how much did you consume daily?
@aulakhk16 I did a small espresso cup, squeezed 1oz of lemon at the bottom(helps with the bitterness of oil taste) and 2oz of olive oil on top and took it as a shot on am empty stomach either first thing in a.m and also last thing in p.m
@@TheDannyVGI only use Kirkland also, I'm going to try this. Thank you for sharing 😊
@@TheDannyVG
Did the Kirkland olive oil pass the test? That Dr M is referring to in this video? I’m so curious! And thank you for sharing your experience with olive oil for your skin !!
Always be careful when purchasing olive oil. Make sure to look for "Italy" only. Many brands even Kirkland has some that specify it is from Italy, Spain, Greece, Etc. I ONLY buy Kirkland Italy only, no blends of olives just one source. It is also one of the only Bobby Approved olive oils. Check him out and follow him if you have not yet.@@kyleneanderson6250
My brother has a small farm in southern spain with a few olive ,last year I had a bottle of the first pressing,never tasted anything like it..amazing..
You said it the way it is Doc....I am living in Greece and i have my own production .THANK YOU inform the people the right way
Thank you! I just checked and my olive oil comes in dark glass, has the country of origin, harvest date, production date and expiration date and it's first cold pressed. Excellent!
Which brand do you use?
Did you do the refrigerator test on it?
What is the best olive oil we can buy or use thanks for teaching some of us we use olive oil l be careful to look the type to buy next time have a blessed day doctor
Which one do u use?
I have fillipo berio extra virgin but it doesnt have the harvesr date on it
Can you tell us please what brand it is? It would be appreciated!
Harvest and expiration date
Grassy smell
Better in glass than plastic (especially dark glass)
Thickens (cloudy) if refrigerated
Got it. Thanks!
Thank You for the great info. A friend brought me olive oil and olives from family in Greece. I put the olives in the fridge and the oil thickened and turned almost solid. Now i know it is pure.
Olives need to be pressed within 6 hours of harvest. 1st cold pressed date on bottle. A blend of olive oils from different countries can be very deceiving in that you have no idea when they were harvested or pressed, shipped, handled etc. Great olive oil comes from harvesting and pressing quickly by responsible, ethical producers. They're out there. Trouble is finding and trusting their claims of producing a pure unadulterated product in this day and age can be a real challenge, especially with not much help from regulatory bodies........
I get Spanish olive oil from Costco. I like the flavor and the 'bite' it has.
I figured that a company like Costco wouldn't want to damage their reputation by selling fake olive oil.
Real olive oil is an acquired taste i would say, it's pretty strong when you're not used to it.
It reminds me of the taste of under-ripe/green bananas. And it grows on you quick. I finally understood why people drizzle it on absolutely everything even icecream
@@markroberts7001 I drizzle it on top of everything salty; I have yet to try it with ice cream, though the idea isn't palatable, but it won't hurt to find out.
@@yardleyj9391 I saw Action Bronson do it on his show called the untitled action Bronson show. I think it was vanilla ice cream with black truffles and olive oil
Thank you Dr Mandell, you are the best in providing vital information to us the ordinary folk in the manner we understand. Truly blessed to learn so much from you. God bless.
Thanks Dr Mandell… you’re great in explanation and easy to understand.
True, but short on details.
As in what possible brands fit the description.
I saw a study that said that they tasted most of the major over the counter brands of extra virgin olive oil and found that none of them except for one was actually extra virgin olive oil. The one that they tested that they said is actually meets the European rating to be extra virgin olive oil was the Kirkland extra virgin olive oil sold by Costco I think Sam's might also have it. This is what my wife buys. Thank you 👍
Kirkland is mixed
@@jamessimon7754 mixed or not it past the study to qualify for European olive oil which has a minimum polyphenol. I can't remember what the number is but it was the only over the counter that passed.
Good job, doctor! As an olive oil producer, I will just add a few info. The “refrigerator” test is not always accurate, but if you want to do this test on extra virgin olive oil, do it in small quantities. Not all over the bottle because the bonds of fatty and phenolic substances break down during thawing, resulting in a lower quality oil. The optimal extra virgin olive oil storage is between 12 and 22 degrees Celsius. It is essential to underline that once the bottle is opened, it must be consumed within approximately 15 days. Extra virgin olive oil fears both exposure to air and light.
Mr Bellini, thank you so much for adding this info. I have been scouring the internet to find the good olive oil. You have helped me immensely.❤❤❤
Keep showing the love doc. Thank you.
The title came across my feed,
And I’m delighted to find a way to find out, if I’m getting what I’m supposed to get.

Million thanks Dr. Mandell. I had questions about the extra virgin oil I use. Now I put it in the refrigerator and I will know for sure, tomorrow. Your lesson came at the perfect moment.

You always make plain sense thank u
Thank you Dr Mandel❤
Thanks for that advice! I use Mena olive oil. It is single source & has on bottle where in the orchard the oil came from, & of course the expiry date. I'd never before had the slight peppery taste @ back of throat before, before tasting Mena. Don't let the description of the pepper taste put you off as it is only slight & when you cook with it, that peppery taste is not present, so don't let that put you off. The only thing I DO NOT like is that it is sold in plastic bottles. I think that's how they keep their costs down...& of course less breakage possibilities in shipping because Mena olive oil comes from the Motherland, primo land of Morrocco! That's what I hear is the best place to get your olive oil. According to Dr. Gundry Moroccan olive oil has the high levels of that ingredient (can't remember what it's called, but Moroccan olive oil has the highest levels out there)...but what led me to Mena olive oil was because I COULDN'T AFFORD Dr. Gundry's olive oil. I can tell Mena olive oil is quality, but yet AFFORDABLE. I was ordering Mena online, but I about fell out when I saw it @ Publix grocery store. That's where I get it now, & it's very affordable.
It’s not Mena but rather instead it’s called Mina Moroccan extra virgin olive oil, cold extraction, single origin.
@@royjohnson465yes, thanks for catching my mistake there using the "e" instead of the "i."
Thanks for heads up about the refrigerator trick. I did not know that. I have some that is doing that but it doesn't have much of a grassy taste because I have had the good stuff before and there is big difference in taste. Thanks for your insight.
Another great video ~ thanks Dr. Mandell!!! I love you.
Thank you, Dr. MANDELL 💖🙏🏻💖
Thank you Dr Mandell
Thank you for this video. I never knew this about olive oil. Tracey Burroughs from South Africa 🇿🇦 watching this video
The good doctor, thanx again mate !
Dr your skin looks amazing no wrinkles and glowing do you us anything topically
Thank you! I have read that Spanish olive is the best because it is pure. I will go check. I bought an olive oil and avocado oil mix, now I need to look again 🌸 HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!
Spanish oil La Española Extra Virgen is among the best in the market.
Thank you doctor you are the icon🎉❤😊
I've been consuming evoo daily for over 50 years. My HDL was 104 on my yearly wellness check up in July.
Thanks for all of you very informative videos. Much appreciated!!!😇💙🙏
The very best cold pressed organic olive oil with the highest polyphenols comes from Morocco. It gives 400% - 500% more polyphenols than most other olive oil products.
I do buy Atlas Moroccan olive oil, and it’s a golden yellow color…one of my favs! I also like a greener olive oil from Greece by Ancient Foods called Keros! Fantastic oil!! 👍🏼
That’s good to know, I have been studying other types of oils like vegetable oil for an example and realizing it does more harm than to “taste” good because of the oxidation
Is that you Dr. Gundry?
@@haciendaadelia5278 no. Just info used learned on the Internet. You don’t need to be a doctor or have a degree to have knowledge.
@@Airwolf2030 vegetable oils (Sunflower, soy and others) generally cause inflammation, so why would you want to use them? Olive oil benefits you in so many ways as does Coconut oil and avocado oil. Those are what I use along with grass fed butter for cooking. Always organic and grass fed whenever possible.

Thank you doc, i really needed this information because I was about to purchase a cute little clear bottle of olive oil but after this video im going to be cautious from now on.
Dr Mandell you're the best Dr in helping the world, you a so dedicated. God bless you and give you a healthy long life ❤
4:00 The label may say Extra Virgin but the ingredients will say “a blend of” olive oil. So they are taking about percentage of extra virgin versus percentage of chemically extracted oil.
Thank you Dr. Mandel.
Fabulous! Thank you . I also get organic and first cold press.
Which olive oil name brand should I purchase that's most beneficial?
Thanks Dr. Mandell! My favorite olive oil 🫒 is california Ranch, but I've also had great luck and flavor with an olive 🫒 oil from Costco labeled Kirkland 100% california extra virgin o.o., going for $10.99 per 33.8 Oz/1-liter. Also, I store my unopened bottles of olive 🫒 oil in the refrigerator (obviously the bottle I'm using is not stored in the fridge) and I once used a bottle of california Ranch that had been in the fridge, solidified, for at least 4 years, and it tasted great still. But I can also attest to olive oil going rancid over time. Also look for Evo from a single source, not multiple countries.
What about a metal can container?
@@bellasue02 I do prefer glass, no question.
Where did you purchase the California ranch evo?
@AceKoke this taste fantastic.kind of hate to change
@@brendascott4781 Sprouts, my local Walmart sells it too.
My new favorite Dr ❤
Thank You Doc M ...we appreciate you
Sensational video.
Great advice. I will only buy extra virgin olive 🫒 oil in dark glass containers. A number of years ago there were reports that some olive oils marketed as premium were, in fact, not.
Thank you dr. Mandell
BLESSINGS DR.M 🎉
Thanks, Doc. I ONLY use Extra Virgin Olive Oil in my house❣️❣️
I use Organic extra virgin olive 🫒 oil!
I do too, but mine didn’t solidify. Does that mean it’s no good?
Thanks for this great info. I didn't know oil could be called EVOO if it was blended! Is nothing sacred anymore?!
Thank you. Helps a lot to know❤
Following in Abu Dhabi. Thanks for information Dr Mandell
Thank you watching in NYC positive vibes your way
nyc here !
Another great video. The mixing of other oils was the best tip I heard in awhile. I'm happy to say my extra virgin olive oil choice past your test on all points from this video. Thank you Doctor.
What brand do you have?
Yes following for answer on what brand?
I use the 100% Italian organic extra virgin olive oil from Trader Joe’s. Not sure of the quality but it’s the only organic I could find.
What brand do you use?
@@brendascott4781 I use the Trader Joe’s one the brand is Trader Giotto’s. I live in Texas and not sure if theres Trader Joe’s in other states
another great video Dr. Mandell, the only extra virgin oil i always purchase is the Greek oils as they are proud of their product and carry a good name.
Additional characteristics of excellent EVOO is that it should taste slightly bitter and cause a reaction in your throat (slight tingle or slight cough) when you taste test by letting 1/2 tsp settle in your mouth, then sucking it into the back of your throat..!
Sprouts has excellent organic EVOO from Spain, dark green glass bottle, currently $12.99 per liter..! Super good..!
Summary of taste characteristics to look for: grassy, peppery, slightly bitter, tingle (or cough) when you suck it into back of your throat. These are all desirable characteristics of excellent EVOO high in polyphenols..!
Enjoy..! 🎉💞
Do you know if the Sprouts authentic EVOO from Spain comes in a "mild" version? I appreciate your help.
@@debrapeasley2606 Nope, just regular flavor.
I looked at all the brands of olive oil in sprouts, I found none that met all the requirements that he mentioned and a couple items he did not mention.
@robinrobine8100 Try the Sprouts organic EVOO from Spain..! 👍👍
Unfortunately, it just went up in price from $12.99 to $19.99 per liter... 😒 Still a very good buy, great quality... 🎉
I only use Sicilian olive oil. Sicily still maintains strict supervision of their industry. I just checked my Paisano olive oil (in glass bottle) and performed the test you suggested. I must say it passed. Thank you for the video.
So Sicily, the most corrupt region in the world is trustworthy?? I have a bridge I’d like to sell to u!!
@@tonymurray814 What a dumb remark. Politics have no bearing on olive oil. The country may be corrupt, but their olive oil industry is superior.
I never buy Italian oil. Did you not see the 60 minutes report?
Can we please get the brand(s) that the Good Doctor consumes? Wouldn't that be better than all the detective work?
That’s lazy. This isn’t an advertisement for a brand. He has led you to the water.
@TornadoOfSouls777-California Ranch is real deal, it has dates when harvested on it too.. I have used for years .
Dr. Berg recommended the California brand sold at Whole Foods too. Time for the refridge test🤞🏽
@@timfisher5417wow, lazy? Why waste time money trying to find authentic olive oil when he can easily tell us a brand he recommends?
@@ruthwells3990 thank you
I am always looking for your advise
Thank you so much
Make it a great day Mandell !
GREAT INFORMATION - THANKS FOR ALL YOUR GOOD ADVICES :::::::::::::::::
Anyone know if the Kirkland brand passes the test?
No low quality oil
I have been using Simply Nature brand organic evoo sold by Aldi, from Tunisia. it passes all the tests, has an expiration date and a certification #. It is however pretty cheap, six dollars for a 16.9 oz bottle. One benefit I've experienced after taking 2 tablespoons before going to bed, is a great nights sleep, hoping that over the long term it will help my arthritis.
Thanks DR your the best 🙌🙌
I Used California ranch, extra-virgin, olive oil, 100% cold Press medium and it has an expiration date of 2025 and It’s not mixed with any other Olivos or countries, so I think this is OK
Yes, this is one of the good ones.
Where do you purchase it?
It's really good and pass all the tests
@@brendascott4781I get it in Costco
Do u store olive oil in fridge or cool,place
Thank you doctor!
Thank you for the eye opening info. My wife and I are heath conscientious as we get trip through life in a vessel very sensitive to its environment. Taking care of it, we feel, demonstrates respect for life. So thank you again for helping us maintain it.
