If you've ever wondered about the authenticity of your extra virgin olive oil, this enlightening video offers invaluable insights. It highlights how close to 80% of all olive oil sold is not genuine; instead, it's diluted with other oils and sometimes even acquires solvents and preservatives. Interestingly, a good way to confirm the authenticity of your olive oil is a slight tickle or cough in the back of your throat, which comes from a special anti-inflammatory antioxidant known as 'oleocanthal' present in real extra virgin olive oil.
The genuine olive oil has a distinctive fruity, peppery, pungent, and slightly grassy taste that separates it from the bland taste of fake olive oils. It's essential to buy olive oil only in glass containers and prefer those with a harvest date. While real olive oil might be pricier, the cost is a reflection of the quality and authenticity of the product. This video goes above and beyond in educating about real extra virgin olive oil—reminding us to prioritize quality over cost.
