I’m from Greece and I produce my own olive oil. Whoever wants can ask me to send him some. Also fresh olive oil is not crystal clear it is a bit foggy.
I'm an olive oil aficionado. I utilize three of the five checks in the article: peppery taste in the back of the throat, harvest date, and single origin.
With that said, the lowest price I've found of olive oil that passed the above three checks was $30 per liter. The highest price I've paid was $45/liter. I'm sure one can find even higher prices.
When something is cheap, it is usually for a good reason.
Ah just the style of writing, its easier to spot now, “like here’s the uncomfortable truth” it’s not this, it’s that. Etc. but like I said message was good :) it’s just I see the AI use everywhere and sometimes just like a little messiness from the author but that’s a personal preference… I have to get used to the AI use everywhere too and learn to get the juice from the writing anyways
Kind of an aside I admit but you have to read every damn thing you buy. For example went to buy organic corn starch so why does it have more than one ingredient?. Finding unadulterated foods is a challenge. They also put gums in everything. Try finding an ice cream without gums etc.
The intentional path to take is more treacherous and difficult but it’s worth it long term. You’ll live a more vibrant and whole life than those who choose a path of ignorance.
I mean… it’s just one factor of many so it’s important to assess it accordingly but like how you experienced making vinaigrette, it’s pretty obvious to tell the difference between adulterated OO and unadulterated.

Awesome message, not a fan of the AI language but agree with all the points mentioned 🙏🏽
What made you think it’s AI?

Is there a trustworthy source to order olive oil from?
Oliva Dorado.
This woman over 40 appreciates the info too! Thanks

And...keep reading the labels. If you buy the same product a month or so later, it could have tweaked the ingredients in a way you won't like.

Great post!
A question for you: How reliable is the refrigerator test, that many tout as a way to tell the difference between "real" and bastardized olive oil?
I make my own vinaigrette and it's pretty obvious when it gels or solidifies, when chilled.
