What Makes Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil So Special?
Extra virgin olive oil is one of the healthiest oils you can eat. Sadly, most of the claimed olive oils you find on supermarket shelves are fake. So how do you know which ones to buy? In this video, I visit an Australian plus an Italian olive oil farm to get some insight into what makes good olive oil and what to look for when buying some. Plus to learn how this liquid gold, "first cold press virgin oil" is made from start to finish.
Olive oil is a type of vegetable oil that is extracted from olives, the fruit of the olive tree. It has been used for centuries in cooking and as a key ingredient in cosmetics and soaps. Olive oil is made up of different types of fatty acids, including oleic acid, which is responsible for its healthy properties. Olive oil contains high levels of monounsaturated fats, which have been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. In addition, olive oil is rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the body against cell damage.
The process of cold pressing olives helps to preserve these healthy compounds. As a result, extra virgin olive oil is considered to be the highest quality olive oil available. It has a fruity taste and a slightly bitter aftertaste. It is also more expensive than other types of olive oil but worth every cent.

I like the comment below better
@@recipe30 You are what's wrong with the world you lie for money. You are the worst kind of human.
@@recipe30 Can you get this olive oil in the U.S.A. ?
You promised to show how to spot the fake ones. You failed to deliver on that. Instead it was a long commercial for this particular olive oil, and a bit of information about differences, but nothing that the regular consumer could check (such as how long the olives spent being transported). At the beginning you showed 3 olive oils you deemed "fake" as you were pouring them. So the expectation was that one could recognize fake olive oils by sight.
Seems to me... The refrigerator test is the answer to your question.
But he said the fakers have learned to fake that too now.
They said if it it says pure olive oil or light olive oil it would have been processed at high temps or have had chemical extraction which does not make it extra virgin. If it says smooth, buttery it is a sigh of refined oil. The extra virgin would be the premium one.
Listen the moral of story at the end. Only the smallest producers have actually pure produce 🤣😆😅
So stay away from all big brands and search for local producers of olive oil hearvestors and make your own by cold press machine 🤚🏻
They said chill it in the refrigerstor and if it turns to a butter-like substance than it is the real thing.
25 years ago I was living and working in Portugal and they kept all their cheeses in their local olive oil with some peppercorns and a few olive leaves. You would use the oil for salads and spreads. It was semi solid even at room temperature with chunks of olive fruit and had a fruity quality to it. You simply can not get an olive oil like that here in Canada..
Olive trees were plentiful around everyone's home. When the olives were ready to harvest they would lay cloth under the trees and beat the olives off the branches with a stick. They would pick out the bulk of the twigs and leaves, then take it to the local press where each family's harvest would be weighed. They had ancient old stone presses to make the oil, and all the olives would go in. The resulting oil would be distributed per weight to each family in accordance with the weight of olives they had brought.
I still think about that olive oil and how delicious it was.
Most "olive oil" at supermarkets in North America only has a small percentage of olive oil mixed in. The rest of it is cheap, cardiotoxic filler such as canola or soy.
@@asnark7115 I am aware..
I even had some varieties of local cold pressed olive oil when I was visiting my friend by Perth in Australia. It was very tasty, but even if you source true cold pressed olive oil its nothing like that fresh pressed olive oil I had back then.
I think part of what made it the way it was, was it was SO unrefined. But most people probably don't want so many floaties in their oils.
That is a beautiful story. I am surprised I didn't notice, cheese in olive oil when I visited the Azores. That sounds inspiring, beautiful and reminds me of how thankful I am that traditions like that are still practiced. Good memories, for sure.🕍🌄🌋🪗🍷
@@asnark7115 it's also a few months old, rancid and inflammatory to your body
the weight of the oil is different than the raw olives they started with so how do they calculate what amount to give them? also i much prefer getting the non filtered oil like the one you see at 5:16 if you can find it sold like that
Here in Hellas we have the best authentic extra virgin olive oil, as well as the most delicious olives.
My husband has his own land with so many beautiful olive trees.
Thank God this year's harvesting was awesome.
Literally, we feel blessed.

I love that you use Hellas instead of Greece... Hellenic olive oil is by far the best. 😁
heavenly
@@Mr_GMS Ciao a Tutti!Quello Italiano è meglio, no, è meglio quello Portoghese, no, è meglio quello Spagnolo, no, è meglio quello Australiano, no, quello Californiano!Questo tipo di guerra..mi piace.Saluti dalla Toscana..😋
@@Mr_GMS, and I do love that you loved it.
BTW, HELLAS comes from the word ELLAS(ΕΛΛΑΣ)
Unfortunately, this stupid + pathetic word "Greece" was given to us, because the Ottomans called us names like "Greeks", while we were under pressure for literally 500 years...
Anyways, if I may ask, where are you from?
I'm Italian, born and raised in Milan, but my grandparents have a house in Umbria (central italy) where we have a couple dozens of olive trees. Every year we produce our own oil (for the personal consumption of the family), just like the majority of the neighbors there (a lot of people have vines for grapefruit and to produce wine instead of having olive trees).
That oil is more viscous, it's of a bright green color and it's a lot tastier (even a bit spicy) than the regular oil you might end up buying at a supermarket.
That type of oil is called "green gold" because of how valuable (and expensive) it is.
Good information! I have a little olive grove in southern Italy with 40+ trees. Cockatoo sounds great and looks like they make a lot. I was bit taken aback by the waste of the pulp as I am sure they could get more oil from the pulp but maybe they have a really good system. From my trees, I can get maybe 200 litres on a good year with the traditional cold press. My local press guys really do the traditional method. The olives are crushed by big stone wheels and then the pulp is pressed between hemp type disks by a hydraulic press. Then separation of oil and water by centrifuge. Two points in the video not so clear; The criteria for Extra virgin olive is the acidity. Other factors are not really taken into account. But if you have followed the rules: 1) clean olives 2) Greenish not overripe olives 3) No damaged or diseased olives 4) The minimum time from picking to press
Very good points, thank you! I have yet to taste olives and olive oil like what we had in my childhood 60+ years ago in Syria, likely the home to the oldest olive trees in the world. I wonder if the modern milling/production techniques have something to do with that.
@@madaboutvoice Modern olive oil is mostly spiked with toxins such as soy or canola. Depending on where you are living, if you aren't buying the most expensive bottle on the shelf with clear labeling terms, then you aren't getting much *olive* in your oil.
@@madaboutvoice Syria 🥰🍆🧄🍋
@@madaboutvoice More than likely! There other ways of collecting oil from pulp. Another typical modern way is: If you dip a stainless steel in the crushed pulp, the oil sticks to the metal and then you brush it off. Repeat again and again. This will still give good quality oil but you lose the body. Oil using mechanical pressing is much thicker and deeper in colour- especially as soon as it made. In fact- this oil should be left for it to settle. We get a little waste in our oil because of the deposit which we typically filter and make soap! Also depending on the type of olives the taste/colour can be very different.
@@asnark7115 I would say not the most expensive on the shelf but cost can be good indicator along with the "organic" status. In southern Italy in a good year, you can buy good oil for 6-8 euros a litre from a local farmer. What the supermarket sells for 4 euros, I am not sure what is in there. 🙂
I use to live in libya and we were grab our olive oil from local farms in october every year, it was realy fresh and unique 🤗
That's the best way! ❤
Blessed, that's the best way
Same in Morocco.
@@jthepickle7 my sister got a couple of olive oil bottles from maghreb and it taste so good not bitter or sour like others i had i wish she got more
Same here, used to live in Libya too. One of the best places to live, well that´s before the war. We have friends who own olive farms and truly it was a blessing to have a fresh olive oil. Actually all the olive oil sold from locals were fresh.
Wonderful to hear Vincenzo speak about his craft. It's impossible to hide true passion, which this guy clearly has... I wish him, his family and business the very best wishes for the future.
My thoughts exactly. I wish I could speak Italian and could have the same conversation with him in his native language. Imagine the passion that would radiate from him then 😍

Bravo, the ONLY oils I have in my kitchen are OLIVE OIL and Coconut Oil. Been on Olive Oil for many years. Love it.
There is nothing more beautiful to see in Europe than a vast area of olive trees full of olives
So true!
You gotta explore more Homeboy.. How about the Wines Chateaus, Sunflower Fields, perhaps Lavande PurpleBleu Fields, Virgin Seaside Unknown little Roads, Tomatoes Fields, Yellow Lemon Farms,, etc.. There's more variety of beauty than just those plantations you've mentioned.
Oh yes there is!
Plenty more.
ignore those who are 'bitter' and jealous.
While Israeli's cut down the Palestinian's olive trees, shameful.
It was great to hear about the process. We need regulation to help us to identify the fake stuff.
Some put 10% olive oil and that passes regulations.
From my understanding it’s the Italian mob profiting and controlling fake olive oil. Cut out the mob. Buy local olive oil. In the states we have a lot of California olive oil options. Here in Michigan we have some local olive oil options. Screw imported Italian olive oil. If everyone boycotted imported Italian olive oil, the mob wouldn’t profit from it and could reduce fake evoo. The problem is the Italian mob controls the only shipping port in Italy, so it will likely always be a problem so long as they are exporting it
Regulations are usually for sale
@@cabangamanuel6697 for sure. Whose got the deepest pockets? We’ll do that plan

Good informative spiel. I have 450 olive trees up in the northern rivers, planted over 25 years ago and now I have the time, I am researching thoroughly to hand pick the olives and process the oil. Saw first hand in 1990, how the olives were turned into olive oil in northern Italy and the oil was delicious. They processed old school, no machines. Original processing woven mats etc…..Was a real eye opener and hence my love of olive oil and olive trees began. So thanks mate, thoroughly enjoyed your doco. 👍🏽❤⚽

Great video Joel, this is also an important video! We need to start demanding higher quality standards with all foods globally.
Cheers! I believe people are slowly starting to understand and demand it, but we are still a long way away.
We should demand it locally because that’s where we buy it and eat it.
We do the only issue is that people waest to much food and quality food takes time and integrity witch there is much off
Vote with your money. Stop buying what you know is unhealthy. My food has been pared right down and I feel no ill effects. Protein, good fats and carbs from vegetables with some clean dairy like yogurt and cottage cheese. Cuts down my shopping time and money spent. I do not go to fast food or restaurants. Especially since the nonsense pandemic. No movies in theaters. Those places are filthy. That leaves a lot more money for better food and other activities.
I don't drink take spoonfuls of olive oil, ( as been previously suggested ), but l use just a tad to keep my eggs and pancakes from sticking to the pan, and I love eating them out of the jar. But lve learned something from this video , l didn't know the olive was a fruit !
My all time favorite is kalamata olive oil.
What you have to watch for folks is oil that is a mixture of different olive oils.
What you want is 100% oil from one area.
So true, that's why usually the smaller producers who grow their own are the better choices.
Actually, if you get a mix of olives, you're lucky. Most commercial olive oil has a low percentage of olive oil spiked with oils from GMO crops.
Nice reportage. I'm from Belgium but i lived and worked in the Catalan region of Spain for 11 years, in a region (El Priorat), where it's mainly wine and olive oil production, so I'm quite familiar with it. The harsh truth shone through in this little documentary here, just as it is worldwide; you almost have to know the farms themselves in order to know if it's the real deal or not, just like with wine, the same. All the rest is blah blah blah marketing strategies, unless , just like this family, it's done by heart, dedication, honesty and hard labour.
The producer in Italy mentioned that some Italian merchants buy olives from Greece, which they then press in Italy, resulting in poor quality olive oil. I'm from Greece and all I know is that Italians buy olive oil from Greece, not olives. Plus, Greece produces excellent quality olive oil.
italians also sell spanish EVOO but they "claim" its theirs, same happens with truffes france pack them but they get a lot of their market from spain, same with saffron...
@@c_alez Thanks for the information on Spanish produce. It's a shame that some people "steal" the identity of products and produce that they buy from other countries by not stating their origin. It's only fair that every country get due credit for what they produce.
Something to be taken into account is that, like wine, Olive has different breeds and the flavour can change. Really expensive olive oil, are usually pressed from a single breed of olive and the same farm can produce several types of olive oil. For cooking these are usually different by intensity, flavour, bitterness and consistency, adapting to different types of foods
In Portugal some of the most expensive extra virgin olive oils were found to be fake. High price does not always mean that it's pure.
Breeds? Like dogs?
@@pmbbmp
Yes we picked our olives by hand
today.
we have onky 90 trees kalamata
& Cyprus olive.
Extra virgin, organic 1st press
extraction.
Cant give it away here.
@@garyfrancis6193 Everything has breeds. It has nothing to do with dogs. 😂
@@pmbbmp I am in Cyprus they are selling a litre for 5 euro at local olive mills.
I'm so blessed to live in Greece. Also blessed as we have our own olive trees in Crete!! Can't imagine cooking or using any other oil than our own olive oil...when fresh, it is divine...always test it on freshly baked sourdough bread with some flaky sea salt!!
Absolutely the best olive oil is from Crete, at least in my opinion! You are really blessed to live there.
Rock salt is better ... sea salt contains pollutants like micro plastics
..... oh I forgot to say one more thing. Niki! 😅It seems also, that you have over there in Crete (at Ano vuves) the oldest olive tree in the world?! 🌿😊And I can't resist saying, besides all that, you have probably the best animal shelter I ever saw - Takis shelter, in Lerapetra! Takis also has more than thousand olive trees in the mountain of Lerapetra and makes olive oil!
Olive oil from Krete is sold all over the world. I don't trust the big brands though as there is not enough olive trees on this island to produce millions of litres.
I only buy on markets with local farmers.
@@lidijabirsa7768 That's true! (about the oldest olive tree). As far as Ietrapetra, I don't know as I'm from Chania
Great video!! I learned a lot about the process to make the olive oil. And explaining the cold pressed and light. Thank you so much for sharing and caring about our heart.
Excellent! I truly appreciate the time you have taken to inform your viewers the difference in quality vs commercially produced olive oil. Our “hearts” health thank you. 😊
Thank you so much Melinda ❤

I produce my own family’s olive oil in Corfu Greece, in our organic farm using a cold press process. The resulting olive oil is SUPERB! Thanks for this video sir! PS: is there a chance you know the maker of the canopy/conveyor harvesting equipment? It’s really impressive to say the least! Thanks!
I googled for "olive oil harvester" and UA-cam videos of similar equipment came up, you should be able to find a machine that does what you need. May be pricey though.
The best way of harvesting on Corfu Island is still with a donkey.
They lay out huge nets under the trees and collect the full nets with the donkeys. It is very hard work and it takes more time than a harvester needs.
Just remember, harvest early in the morning and press the oil on same day to keep the olive oil fresh and healthy.
Harvesting trucks need streets and they cannot drive uphill and downhill and between narrow trees.
The olive farm in the film had trees planted in a row with at least seven meters between the rows. No naturally grown trees in this film. It is a commercial for an olive farm.
This kind of space between trees is not in a naturally grown olive wood on corfu.
I prefer the old natural olive trees and I appreciate the hard working people who still harvest the olives like their grandparents did.
In my family we prefer Greek olive oil.
Greek olive oil is my favorite.
Greetings m8, I order my oil from Kreta oils - as I’m pretty impressed with their quality Tera Kreta nativ extra and for the first time Agia Triada nativ extra. Would be happy to know and try your manafactured oil - pm appreciate!😊
Alexandros Cheimarios, What's the name of your oil? I buy amazing Greek olive oil, in Canada.
Absolutely fascinating. I purchased a $10.00 bottle of first cold pressed oil, but the taste just wasn't right. Now I know why. I will be returning that bottle, and keep looking until I see one that solidifies like butter at the top. Thanks for the great info!
I think he said it is thicker at the bottom & falsifies like a buttery look at the bottom of the bottle. 👍
The entire bottles solidifies, not only the top or bottom.
Very insightful Joel! I appreciate all the hard work and dedication to excellence on your channel. You are so close to 1 MIL!! Very excited for you sir . Keep up the awesome content ⭐️
I appreciate that! Cheers 👍😀
Very nice and well done doc.
I'm from Italy and to see people taking exemples from us is rewardings. I advice a good pruning every year, those trees loked a bit bushy.
Loved it! Have been researching a lot about this matter. I really appreciate your simple, concise, and accurate information on how to find an authentic product from a devoted, and honest olive oil producer. In fact I put some olive oil in a glass, then in the refrigerator last night, the oil is still in liquid form 24 hours later. I will try the olive oil from Cockatoo Farms for sure. BTW congrats on winning the Choice reward!

When I was in Italy we would stop at roadside boutique stores and I found that Lemon cello, wine, olive oil and other specialty products were really expensive. Then I would go to the grocery store and find the same brands at a fraction of the cost. When overseas, always go to where the natives shop for their grocery's
yes, interesting observation! But I would modify it to: observe what Quality, Smart Natives buy! I have observation from Poland how to get best Cell phone company: I didn't do any research before. I walked to a group of chatty 14 year old girls and just asked them what network THEY use :) 5 out of 6 replied: "Orange" and one was "Fido". Next time I go somewhere, I will do the Same Trick! :) With Olive Oil, I will now ask Italians in Vancouver, what olive oil THEY recommend!
I wonder to what extent was that just merchants trying to over-charge tourists, compared to grocery stores selling to the locals.
The price tells if its real or not don't need to go to the ''natives shops such an American thing to say due to native americans''
Natives do not buy olive oil in the grocery or shops, they buy it directly from producers and they know what they get. In the video, a producers from Italy very clearly told that cheep olive oil from the shop is NOT olive oil. 95% of cheep olive oils in shops, big shopping centers is fake, that oil never saw any olive.

Brilliant! I have 3 olive oils at home. I filled 3 small glass jars with each of them and left them in the fridge overnight. The one branded "pure" and the one branded "light" both stayed transparent. Only the "extra virgin" oil ended up as spreadable fat. I know which one I'm going to buy in future 😁👍
Glad it was helpful Alan.
First, are you in the US….and second would you name the oil brand that solidified?
@@marinazagrai1623 Hi, sorry for the late reply. I forgot last night. I am in Thailand. It is Ondoliva extra virgin olive oil from Spain, it claims to be organic. It wasn't crazy expensive and I was pleasantly surprised it passed the test.
@@POMOZKI We can’t get this brand, but I did the test with our olive oil and it also passed…this wasn’t exactly expensive.
@@marinazagrai1623 good to know. This Ondolivo is widely available in the better supermarkets here in Thailand - it doesn't have a harvest date on the bottle and maybe isn't the best but anyway, it passed the test. Which brand do you use? I'd love to find a great olive oil that is high quality and doesn't cost a fortune
Thanks so much for this most informative mini-documentary. I found it very interesting to hear not only from this family operated Australian small company but also from the Italian producer of Extra Virgin Olive Oil as well. I found it very interesting regarding using the refrigeration test on the Olive Oils to test their quality, something I would have had no clue about otherwise. I will most certainly be sourcing my olive oils far more critically in future, secure in the knowledge that "you get what you pay for," usually!
I began cooking with Olive Oil a few years ago after house sitting in Spain in a rural home among Olive groves.
It makes my food savory and there's the health benefits too.
Thank you - that was a great educational video! It's amazing how the juice of such a little fruit can be so good for our health. 😊
So true, an amazing little marvel 👍
Brilliant short doco mate. Gave a fantastic insight into how Olive oil is made and what to look for. Great story about a wonderful company.
This was an amazing video for me..... I was born and raised in Crete Greece and now live in New York for over 30 years. I was very happy to see this type of industry in Australia it is amazing to see the production on olive oil. I still have about 300 trees in Greece that my brother is working with but this enlightening it makes me want to go back !!!!

Wonderful video, Joel, thanks for sharing. Like you, I used to believe the myths and lies about industrial seed oils being 'heart healthy'. Of course, as a student on a tight budget, the low cost of so-called vegetable oils helped in steering us towards the massively profitable, unhealthy options.
While many people think nothing of spending big on beer, wine or whisky, they balk at the notion of paying a fair price for a litre of olive oil that, as your short documentary explains, is a very time, and labour-intensive operation.
Unfortunately, because we may tend to judge quality by cost, that in itself can become the source of a scam. A company can artificially color & flavor a low quality product and may find that it is easier to sell if they slap on a high price...because food snobs will presume that it is a premium product simply by that price.

@@olenfersoi8887 So because people are willing to pay more for what is advertised as a quality product, you call them "food snobs"?
It’s frustrating olive oil is not labeled honestly. All our politicians grandstanding daily, and we cannot get simple consumer protections on the food we consume.
I have been cooking for many years and never knew there was that much of a difference!!! I look forward to cooking with this type of oil ty so much! GREAT VIDEO!
Awesome vid! If I was shopping at the Eataly in say, Los Angeles, are there brands we should prefer that they carry, or conversely ones that they carry that we definitely should avoid?
Thanks!!
This has been a most informative video that explains much when purchasing olive oil. You literally get what you pay for.
The olive oil I produce is different (in taste) from week to week, and of course, from year to year. The ripening of the olives is influenced by so many variables like heat of the summer leading up to picking, weather, humidity, whether or not I watered the trees. How is it possible that big name brands have the same oil year after year?
Doesnt have any idea how you managed to make this amazing content but the music, editing and everything is just perfect!
Appreciate it! 👍
Informative video and a great production ! Thank you
Thank you so much for this informational video. I especially like the tip to put the oil in the fridge and if the fat coagulates then it is genuine. I very rarely cook with olive oil (only certain dishes of course) mostly I use it raw after finished cooking, in salads or simply with good quality fresh bread. Absolutely delicious.

Great video Joel. I live in southeast Spain and have a pal whose father-in-law put a couple of fields down to olive trees some years ago. Now he keeps his close and extended family in beautiful hand-made olive oil. In exchange for a few gift bottles a year (and I would pay double the supermarket price for popular brands for his home-made oil) I donate some meals taken from your site, which they all love. Many thanks, and I send tummy-rubs to Whiskey.
That's the way to go, I'm sure the oil is amazing! Cheers Lesley 👍
This was an eye opener…but the problem remains, we don’t have a way to recognize the good olive oil until we buy and there is no agency that safeguards the importing of the bad olive oil. I understand that refrigerating the oil to solidify the fats will display the quality of the oil. Love to see the whole family work at this olive farm.
I guess the next best thing is for us to do our due diligence and research the companies that we buy from. Yeah, it's painful, but at least we would be able to know who/who doesn't make shortcuts when it comes to making olive oil.
You can always RETURN the brand if it doesn't turn out to be real. The other issue is that it can sit on the ship for a long period of time and go rancid. It will do that in about 3 months I was told.
*If it doesn't cost an arm and a leg, it's likely crap.* I have always trusted Bragg's brand and it costs $28 / large bottle ( organic, xVirgin, first cold press ) at holy foods. I don't think I have been fooling myself. It has a nice semi firm consistency after freezing _then refrigeration_ and burns the back of my throat, as it should.
What?….the US doesn’t control the quality of the food you import??? Are you sure, that sounds incredible. Also, isn’t it mandatory in the US for the food labels to describe ingredients(not just composition)?
@@Cobalt1520 The food label regulations have loop holes big enough to drive a bulldozer through ! There are hundreds of ingredients that don't need to be listed on food labels but which are GRAS ( Generally Regarded As Safe ) And these same regulators are the ones who said that shooting *graphene oxide* ( the v_a_x ) into your veins was a good idea.... and now we know how that has gone.
Thank you for this. I learned some valuable missing info for my health journey.
Thanks from India, your initiative is immensely appreciated, have been looking forward to buy real thing and not the fake, but was out of assistance, great insight here. Great job 👍
I had no idea of the fakery in olive oil...TY for the valuable info. Beautiful property!
Glad it was helpful Suzanne 👍

Over a million small farms were established in the US last year. This isn't covered in the news at all from what I've seen, but I think it means at least in part that people are beginning to take steps away from the established broken and corrupt food supply chains. Bottom line, the best way to eat well is to remain close to the source. Learn to cultivate plants, hunt and fish, buy directly from farmers in your area. There is no shortage of high quality food. It's just that the grocery store is more and more a place to avoid.
Never thought about that before, thanks for sharing
Thank you for such an insightful video Chef Joel🙌 But it seems Whiskey missed on the farm visit!!
Thanks Vanita, Yes Whiskey would have love it there! 👍
Thank you so much for this amazing and informative video. This idea of producing olive oil has been on my mind for quite a while.
Glad it was helpful! Do it! 👍
If you have this desire for making oil, l would suggest to you go ahead, to hear you say that, nothing should stop you!
Not many people can go into that field of helping humanity with consumption on daily bases. It's a blessing, it's also kinda a religious thing.
@@fritula6200 Thank you for encouraging!!
Excellent video; I learned a lot and found out I was completely wrong about the olive oil I use for my cooking. Thanks for sharing and talking about this critical topic.
Glad it was helpful!
Critical topic?? Lmao! Yes thank you SOO MUCH for whoring yourself for advertising revenue while failing to actually qualify the title via identifying fake olive oil. "Fake" olive oil being a word substitution for your subjective opinion of poor quality. It's funny because you did for views and clicks, exactly what the oil manufactures for sales
If by "completely wrong" you mean that it failed the fridge test, then it may still be exactly what it says it is. That part of this video was just promoting an old wives' tale that was debunked long ago. In fact, adulterating EVOO with a little bit of cheaper, more saturated or waxy oil would result in it being much more likely to _pass_ that test, not fail it. There are no simple proofs of it being what it says it is since authentic EVOO will perform differently depending on olive type, growing conditions, when and how it was processed, how old it is, and other factors. The best way to ensure what you're getting is to find and source it directly from the grower or grower's distributor, with the season, best-by date, and all details that make sense printed right on the bottle.
I’ve been noticing a seal of authenticity by OOCERT on legitimate bottles of olive oil.
@@biblereadabilityreviews8662 There are different certifications available depending on country of origin. The best that a company / cooperative produces will typically have the highest sensory and chemical analysis certification(s) available for that area. California Olive Ranch has a fairly detailed webpage about this on their site.
hello,
Out of curiosity. is it possible to know the camera gear you guys used on this! looks amazing! thanks
Oh wow!!! My daughter and I learned a lot!!! Love these types of videos!!! If I could like this video a billion times I would!
Glad you and your daughter liked it and found it helpful 👍
Very helpful vid. I’ve been trying to get a handle on how to assess quality olive oil from fake olive oil-this has really helped. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
@@recipe30 i tried the test & if i’ve understood this correctly-looks like i’ve been buying fake olive oil for quite some time. From Costco i buy the Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I poured some into a small dish as per your vid, but it didn’t change colour or solidify. It was exactly the same as when from when i put it in, until i took it out the following day. In your experiment it set like butter. Does this mean i have fake olive oil? Thanks

Well done with the award. A little high quality E.V.O.O goes a long way. As a health conscious whole food plant based vegan and for everybody keep oils to a minimum. Eating the whole olives gives you the fibre you need and the fruit itself with a little oil in the correct ratio for good health.
When your Liver fails you and your life choices... Should i still accept your opinions on health as they lay bare?
The reason that you require all the pretense before the word Vegan, is because Vegans are the most unhealthy among us.
As a health conscious whole food animal based eater I eat zero oils. Eating the whole animal gives you the nutrients you need in the correct ratio for good health.
Such a fabulous vid, thank you and so special to actually see and hear you directly. HNY!!
If you want high quality extra virgin olive oil, try to get the ones coming from Jaén (Spain). This is the province with highest concentration of olive trees in the whole world (and highest producer). We specialize in it (I am a producer) and we export quality. Stay away from mixtures (oils that state they come from Italy, Spain, Tunis, etc.) as these are usually adulterated and not as good, pick a single country/province and research their production systems.
Australia is far away and exporting it directly would be difficult, but I am happy to help.
Thank you chef, this is a truly important and a great educational video for all users👍
Glad you think so! Cheers 👍😀
This inspired me to do my own taste test with the 2 EVOO’s I keep at home. One is quite expensive and I use it like medicine, taking one tablespoon each day. The other is a little less expensive, but not cheap, and I use it in cooking. The more expensive oil has a very pronounced peppery taste with a bitter finish. The other has a peppery taste that is a little less pronounced and I got an unpleasant chemical flavor. Guess I won’t be buying that less expensive oil again. I also put a small dish of each in the fridge to chill…we’ll see how that turns out.
Wow! The refrigerator test showed the less expensive oil as more solid. The expensive oil was mostly solid but with a ring around the outer edge that was fluid. If I understand correctly, the less expensive oil is more pure! I guess price isn’t a reliable indicator of quality.
It's not a perfect science, as companies are now aware of the test and can inject hardeners so it sets hard. Only a lab can truly test.
We are producing quality extra virgin olive oil in Turkey and trying to export to US.. our EVOO is %100 cold pressed olive fruit with very sweet fruity flavor that’s easily consumed raw like medicine… hopefully we will find the way to your market where we are still facing the demand of low quality olive oil from local importers.
@@WaseemAsmar maybe cooperation with people in your village and use the village or region name, for the oil.
@@m.j.debruin3041 this is true in general and we are selling a lot in local market.. just want to expand and share the quality experience to the world at most possible affordable prices...
if you know a good whole seller/importer we do appreciate connecting us to find a way to reach your country dear..

I use Lucini which I believe is based out of Argentina. $18 a bottle, but it's noticeably better from other stuff I've tried. Great video!
Great info. The same adulteration goes with virgin coconut oil as well. Brands blend in refined coconut oil with a hut of virgin coconut oil to get the smell. The refined oil that's blended in has to be heavily bleached to match the colorless profile of real VCO. I know what happens in the industry as we are producers of the best quality virgin coconut oil, and the prices most brands buy from manufacturers is is simply so low that it's impossible to produce at those rates.
Can someone just answer these basics: 1. What makes an olive oil not "real" according to this video? They talked a lot about what makes a "good" olive oil, but I only heard one kind of vague explanation about what makes an olive oil not "real" (just adding a few drops of olive oil to other additives), but not how it relates to this 70% is fake figure. 2. If something is labeled "extra virgin olive oil" and that is the only ingredient listed, is it not just the oil from olives? In what way would these EVOOL's be "fake"?
Chemical extraction
Fake is a very misleading term here. Studies have shown that 70% of olive oil doesn't meet the "international requirements" to be labeled as EVOO. That doesn't mean they are fake, it just means that they aren't given the distinction of being highest quality. Essentially, they failed the "extra virgin" portion of the test. They still qualify as olive oil.
Most USA-produced chocolate doesn't meet international standards for qualifying as chocolate. It's actually illegal to export it to Europe because of this. Again, that doesn't mean its fake, it simply doesn't qualify for international standards. (The EU requires milk chocolate to be at least 20% cocoa solids while the US only requires 10%)
I'm sure that cold-pressed olive oil is of a higher quality than most brand-name store-bought oils, but the rhetoric (fake, additives, chlorophyll + beta keratine) used in this video to make that point is misinformation. 70% of store-bought olive oils ARE NOT seed oils with a few additives.
@@marten595 THANK YOU! This is what I thought was going on. Unfortunate to pad interesting info with a bunch of click bait misinformation.
Joel, your production quality and presentation is off the charts. Well done. I would love to see more long form, informative content like this. Netflix should give you a show.
Much appreciated! I will make more of these occasionally.
I cannot wait to try this olive oil, I tried buying from our local Woolworths store but they don't carry it, so I ordered online along with the soap they make from the oil. I have to add how surprised I was that the oil solidifies in the fridge!!!

Dear Chef Joel, in California, Davis University ( is the agricultural ingeniring of UCLA) they Made an extraordinary EVOO. Ultra rich in polyfenoles. Not always You can get some. But, if You can, congratulations.
At Spain, there is marvelous olives oils. There is a special oil, Asebuco oil, is from the most ancient olives, from the times of Román Empire; this oil, You can put un the skin as treatment for scars; also, an increíble taste.
Thanks for the info!
Yes, my European parents told me the same. This is medicine and also healing. I think humanity have lost, maybe l am wrong, the value and respect of pure Olive Oil. 🫒 In summer just to rub it on your skin and sit in the sun, is good.
In Israel, they still have the Olive Groves from when Jesus was living.
*Asebuco* oil doesnt exist. I Googled it. It doesnt exist
He is referring to ACEBUCHE, a kind of wild olive tree.
Perdon me.
The correct name is Acebuche.
Thanks, gentelman.
Well done, love the story and the results are stunning. I use EVOO every Day! Nothing better than that. Also Coconut Extra Virgin, Avocado Oil and Butter. Glad to see everyone waking up, I have known this information for over 50 years. Thank you.
There is no such thing as extra virgin coconut oil
@@SunnyDays00 Virgin in that it is unprocessed and unrefined.
@@windsong1a ah OK gotcha
Thanks for the information. Now I live abroad, and I hope to find this product in Canada someday. In Lebanon, many of us olive farmers sell our olive oils organically fresh to the areas within the country, and we bring some fresh olive oils home. We also follow the same techniques as the Italian man had mentioned. Put the olive oil in a fridge, and look for traces of thick butter like residue on the bottom of the lid. Another way to compare is to look for the consistency of the liquid and colour accuracy, which is a bit more complex to do. The main way to spot the difference is to taste the store bought olive oil compared to the farm home processed olive oil. Their is that rich, unique fatty taste that you get in organic fresh olive oil that you don't get many store bought olive oils.
This video was so well made and informative while steel being interesting really good work it deserves a like!
I believe this to be one of your best videos Joel, congratulations to Cockatoo Grove on their win and there property. Love there passion for what they do and l can't wait to buy and taste there oil, cheers
Awesome, thank you Paolo!
Many thanks for the information on Australian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Joel! Now, how about a trip to Italy, to see how they grow and produce their Extra Virgin Olive Oil! It terrifies me, every time I start a new meal requiring Extra Virgin Oil, because of its ever-increasing price of it in our English Supermarkets! It is out of the price range of most shoppers now! I used to use it for frying, but now I only use Rapeseed oil/Vegetable oil for frying, and only spare tiny drops of Extra Virgin Olive Oil for my various Pasta, etc meals! It has become liquid gold...at the same price! Many thanks again Joel....! P.S; A "Spaghetti Aglio e Olio" meal has now become a very expensive, rare luxury!....😉... 😉...!
Hey Paul, that's sad to hear that such an everyday staple is becoming a luxury item. It is however best to pay more, buy the real deal and use it sparingly. Sadly I don't see inflation slowing down. My next video should be how to grow and make your own!
There is no such thing as "vegetable oils".
@@jimosullivan1389 That's what it says on the Sainsbury's Plastic Bottle; "Vegetable Oil", as opposed to Rape Seed Oil, etc...used for frying!.....😉....😉....!

Thank you for your very interesting and informative video. I often pay attention to various oil bottles in stores and wonder, if I am buying the real stuff or not. I have never seen oil products from your company here in northern Europe. I have been lucky to spend several years in Italy, where I truly learned to enjoy good olive oil.
All the best.
Thanks this is so helpful. A beautiful production.
I'm pretty surprise that coconut oil also considered as healthy as you said. I remember during my childhood in my country (one in SE Asia), coconut oil is always readily available in the market. And now, all of it are palm oil. Maybe you can make video about coconut oil also.
Coconut oil is mostly real on the shelf. It is just not as healthy as people make it out to be. Makes you fat.
indians live on palm oil, terribly unhealthy
Although it's saturated fats, coconut oil considered to be a healthy oil.
Absolutely fantastic episode Chef, I really learned a lot. Any idea if Cockatoo sells in the states? I’m in California and I’d really love to try their brand. I live about 15 miles from a olive oil manufacturer, maybe I’ll check them out too and stay away from the stuff Walmart sells. Thanks again.
Yes I would check locally first, not sure if Cockatoo grove sell in the states.
Thanks for the great research. So interesting!
Makes you want to start a backyard Grove.. awesome vid.
That was so educational! I can’t wait to try a real olive oil 🥰
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Maybe you will be disappointed if you try real virgin olive oil at first.
It may taste bitter and it may scratch your throat.
Just try several different kinds of olive oils in a tasting.
There's no word that can express how amazing this documentary is,
You make me so happy, Chef Joel🌷
I fell in love with this beautiful place,...those trees, that lake, that luxurious palace, and these amazing huge machines, as if it's God's paradise on earth...It's a place where the majestic olive trees deserve to grow.🌿
Here we believe that olive oil is a godsend, and we talking about it with a kind of holiness.
And since we used it for lighting in the past, we now believe it can light up what's inside of you, making you healthier, more gorgeous, and more sublime.
Hats off to Ken Dugan🎩, he started with one tree and then he bought twenty thousand olive trees, and he planted another 20,000 olive trees, he made this imaginary Cockatoo grove from scratch,
it's a true love story that will not end with the passage of years.💚
Sama you have a way with words, thank you for that beautifully detailed comment. Olive oil is definitely the nectar of the Gods. Much love! ❤

Thanks for making this video. Very informative. I'll look for this brand asap. Yes, I've known most O.Oils have 'additives' in them but I didn't have the 'complete' pic. Now, thanks to your video, I do. "Certified" is Key. Good to know.
Nice production quality on this video.
Loved this video Joel, thank you. I started buying Cobram Estate Olive Oil about 5 years ago now and when I saw this video I noted that the Cockatoo Grove Olive Farm was in Cobram Estate... Are they affiliated with each other? Have you tried the Cobram Estate Oil? Would love your feedback. L😊👍

Well done Joe! Next visit to Italy pass through Molise ,and sample Trignolino, perhaps worth a video about it?
This was a great video! Thanks!
