The TRUTH about Olive Oil: Top 5 TIPS + MYTHS

$30 / bottle? Nooo… thank you!

I pour it over cooked lentils is that ok?

I do the same thing I pour it over vegetables and I put it in my soup etc. I’m Italian my mother was born in Italy she used olive oil for everything I even used to have my eggs for breakfast cooked in olive oil instead of butter. Oh just thought I’d mention this went to Sicily to visit my family in 2008 and they also make olive oil in Sicily, and it was the best olive oil I ever had in my life. It was exactly how you said, robust and peppery and it was absolutely delicious. I haven’t had anything in the United States that tasted like that. Sicily is absolutely beautiful.

I like to cook in high temps with avocado oil.

I am so confused, some say don't heat extra virgin olive oil.

Hi Nicole, fun videos. I’m a big olive oil user and fan. I prefer tge geeek olive oil that more spice. Your comment on heat ruining it is interesting. I don’t store it next to the stove but I also don’t see how brazing greens in it at 400 degrees doesn’t turn it ransud. I pour it in cooked veggies after the fact. Can you explain this inconsistency please? Thanks I’ll be subscribing. 👍

Great channel

Put your veggies IN A BOWL FIRST. Then add EVOO and spices, and toss. THEN put on a baking sheet and bake. No "massaging" necessary. Same results.

You should have gone into the fact that EVOOs have a much lower smoke point than refined (plain) olive oils. EVOOs are generally more suitable for salad dressings, dipping, drizzling, etc., not frying and sauteing.

Thanks for this information!

Can I store EVOO in the fridge??

Please consider keeping your olive oil bottle in the fridge. Bring Ng it out 20 minutes before use

Also, please consider NOT frying or heating the oil. Whenever you heat oil above 118 Fahrenheit, you kill the enzymes. Use olive oil for flavoring at table, and high heat cook with coconut oil.

i use it on popcorn instead of butter. so much more healthy than butter! i use an olive oil spray bottle and refill it frequently (on roasted vegys too)

Never have use it😬-want to. Can it be stored in the frig? Remember, the only stupid question is one that isn’t asked. Thanks for the help.

refrigerate ?

Do I need to keep it in the refrigerator??

Small quantity production from the south of France is wonderful.

There is so much concern about micro plastics these days. Doesn't the plastic from plastic bottles leak into the oil?

Girl, you just said olive oil hate heat, and then use it for deep fry.

I'm married to a Marine; so I'm good. Crayons are a required part of their diet. 😉

I buy a large bottle but decant it into a smaller bottle for cooking. I suspect that since the large bottle is rarely opened, stored in a cupboard, and not disturbed all that much, it probably holds up fairly well. Since I use olive oil as my main cooking oil, I end up going through about two large bottles a year.

This was my experience and it truly happened to me. Several years ago I was diagnosed with a stage-one leaky heart valve. After hearing the recommendations from several You Tube doctors and chiropractors I began to drink a shot-glass every morning of single-source EEVO and I have continued daily for the last 3 years. After the first year my cardiologist retested my heart and couldn't find any evidence of cardio leaky heart valve. I stay active and my blood pressure has never been as consistently in a healthy range as it has in the last year and I'm 71 years old.

Your articulate and clear presentaion and so very useful information are incredible---but I think you must be of Italian descent because of your constant hand gestures--they were distracting to me.

New to your channel, very educational 👍What is a good pepper tasting olive oil. This reminds me of Scotch tasting and I like a good peaty, smoky scotch. Cheers

What about storing in refer or freezer? "Common sense" suggests freezer would be best but never heard it discussed.

Tell us about oil's affinity for plastic chemicals.

Thanks , Us regular people needed this information , humble enough to buy small bottles , rich enough to make it $10 ones !

I use my older olive oil for suntan oil. It gives me great color.

I buy my EVOO in large 5L "Boxes" which are lined with a non BPA bag, this way the oil never sees light nor is it ever technically opened, no oxygen ever reaches the oil so stays fresh much longer and its way cheaper to buy in bulk. My wife and I consume at least 750 to 1000ml per month just to make salad dressing and mostly to make a nice bread dip. We eat about 4 tablespoons a day between the two of us.
I keep the box in the coolest room in the house (stays around 68 degrees) and just pour about 4 to 6 ounces at a time which is 2 to 3 days worth into a smaller dark glass container.

The long age of tree olive oil much been produce more virgin oil.

The Judge may have done Fani a favor by forcing her to get a competent Prosecutor.

The thing is, this goes all the way up to the Whitehouse. They aren’t about to let anyone get in their way. This will die on the vine, no additional charges to Fani et Al.

I just want to make one point if you don't mind. You won't find high-quality EVOO at the supermarket. We have a premium supermarket chain in Florida, Publix, and although there are at least 20 different brands of EVOO on the shelf, not one bottle is what I'd consider "the good stuff." You need to source it properly. Just my two-cents. Other than that, I love your enthusiasm and the information provided, and I love EVOO--"the good stuff!"

What is this wonky accent? An American pretending to be British?

I stumbled across your channel. Entertaining and a pleasure to watch. I knew most of what you speak of. In a prior video I saw you drinking from a glass, recently pressed oil. Would love to be that close and experience that kind of freshness.

Thankyou Lord for this Olive oil ❤

Great video!! Thank you

what about plastic bottles used by Graza?

very good program, enjoyed it along with the recipes

What about concerns regarding BPA?

I love your channel Nicole, so much great info and tips, thank you

Excellent vídeo, living in Europe, and being from Portugal, imagiining a bottle lasting for months, makes me smile. A bottle last a week, if that much!
Congratulations for the video.

I love how you present and your expressions.
Keep going sister🙏

Now I've gotta read that E.B. White book you were reading

Actually, I've found a healthier way to obtain extra rich virgin olive oil that has a higher grade of polyphenols!! 80% of retailers in USA import from Spain the rest from Italy & Greece. The true hidden (gold mine) are from the foothills of the ATLAS mountains in Morocco.!! It's because the olive trees are located on a higher altitude. The climate is dryer-more arid than in Spain, Greece, & Italy. i have found a connection & I recommend to all others who read this try to do the same:)

Thank you for such great work

Over the top arm waving , I could not take this women for more then 3 min. With out wanting to get a piece of tape for her mouth ,

Congratulations!
As a olives producer and harvester, I have to tell you that you have given really good tips in order to preserve the quality of the olive oil. There is only a little thing which is that I don't recomend olive oil with more than a year from the harvesting. Remember this: filtered oil one year or less and unfiltered fresh oils for six months or less.
Of course, only extra virgin olive oils from the south of the province of Córdoba in Spain. Forget Italian and Greek oils.

HEALS HEMS TO LIKE A MIRACLE

I LOVE YOU
