What's the point of those supposed fruit sampling tests if then the harvester just cuts all the olives regardless of their state of maturity? If you look at all the olives on the conveyor belt and all other machinery, 2/3rds are green instead of purple, so there is no consistency. This is why hand-picking or the nets that catch those that are gently shaken with the rakes and naturally fall at the 'ripe' moment will always be better. They leave the too green ones on the tree and you get only olives at the right stage for the oil. As for the green bottle, it is only needed when it's not pure virgin olive oil since it doesn't oxidize with light while unpure/bad quality olive oil does (and needs the tint to protect it from the light. It's also a way to mask the real color of the oil so you can't see the quality and simply visually associate it with the green virgin olive oil. In other words, it's a marketing poly and a way to hide what's underneath. #OliveOilFacts

The
Spanish-American expert taster here. Although I often recommend your oil to Americans as a good everyday oil, I was disappointed when you spoke about our methods being less than par. Spain and Italy win top oils of the world annually! I invite you to Spain to see our practices. As you know extra virgin olive oil can not have olives touch the ground nor can you apply heat. ugh. If we dont all respect and support each other, whats the point, dude!

The host didn't contribute much except look like tourist. You know when she asked about chemical extraction she was ready to shut it down. Didn't even want to hear about how it's made. She was like chemical = toxic. Girl, there are a lot of ingredients sourced from nature that require chemical extraction or else it won't be possible. Not everything can be cold-pressed.

I read reviews on this oil and I was told that some of it is not real olive oil it's partially corn oil mixed with olive oil I don't know how true it is but I could say this I had bought some California Olive Oil and it was decent it wasn't the greatest I've had olive oil for 60 years now and I know the difference between good olive oil and bogus olive oil

One thing that I'm concerned with, and concerns most Arabs and Arab cooking, is the bitterness that comes with mechanically produced olive oil. Good-quality, hand-pressed olive oil production makes sure to somehow take away the bitterness of olive oil. Now I've never tried Olive Ranch, does anyone know if their oil has any bitterness factor to them?

I really appreciated this video, but I've got to say that unfortunatly I didn't find the interior of those oil machines very clean, for real most of them had like black patches that looked like left-overs that had never been cleaned. Is there no problem with this? Wouldnt that affect the taste in any way? Or more importantly the health issues?

Although it's not scientific, but I strongly believe that the reason for the Western people become more ill or die earlier than the Eastern people is eating vegetable oil obsessively. For example, the same East Asian but Chinese who eat a lot of vegetable oil have shorter lifespan than Japanese or Koreans who eat little vegetable oil.

The US has garbage olive oil. Greece, Italy and Lebanon produce the highest quality of olive oil, this is because our lands and climate are perfect for Olive's, and we do not use machines that ruin the trees. Using machines on olive tree's hurts them, and thus the next batch of olives becomes weaker and lower quality.

California Olive Ranch oil is the best. Its my personal favorite for cooking, dressings, or just dipping bread in. Could you find better artisanal oils from Italy, Spain, or Greece? Probably, but unless youre buying them at the source, youre going to end up paying a ridiculous premium.
