All good and useful information. I am a bit wiser now having viewed the video. Thanks.
Olive oil drizzled on ice cream?? NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't like olives so to buy and use olive oil would be a waste of money for me.
Thank you again Dan. I keep 3 different olive oils (and two balsamic vinegars) in my kitchen. Some for cooking but one special bottle of each for dipping a good chewy bread in oil and balsamic.
Excellent presentation. Very informative. And also entertaining 👏
That was interesting!,,!
I love watching your videos I learn so much, and I also love the fact you get down to earth on the explanation.
This was great and the ice cream and tart look amazing! I am going to try both.
I love Dan's commentary and lessons on foods and ingredients. However, because I do not like olives in any form, olive oil will not be used or found in my kitchen…
Thanks for your information can you reply and tell the best olive oil i can buy and the brand thank you
I agree with young Dan on this. I have tried several Extra Virgin olive oils and I am sorry they all Taste Like Crap. I cleaned that up for you. I don't understand this love affair with something so horrible tasting. If you have to use all kinds of special procedures to taste liquid crap, butter wins every time . IMHO!!
Where I work does refills of very high quality extra virgin olive oil. It's perfect for, as you say, buying often and in smaller amounts.
Thumbs down isn’t a reflection on the video. There were just way way way too many ads.
he so cute wtf
If you like Olive Oil you should definitely try mustard oil.
Olive oil is also as healthy a cooking fat as you can get. It's also my fat of choice to bring on backpacking trips.
You’re trolling us with the olive oil drizzled on ice cream.
The reviews that were given on this video page, 3 of them it says, boiled down to only naming two olive oils. They didn't say which ones were tested, they just said California Ranch is the best and Bertolli is second. That was from 3 different reviews that were actually one but they added on a bit more paragraphs. Not impressed guys
Now I know the importance of HALT(Heat Air Light Time). I keep all my olive oil in a dark, cool place, on the corner cabinet away from the stove. And it always tastes delicious. 😋
Don't eat old oils. They go rancid. Eat the freshest olive oil you can find.
Or just get some ripe olives.
Olives are considered a fruit.
I buy single source organic olive oil from someone I know.
You don't know exactly what you are getting if you buy an oil that is from multiple sources.
Some olive oils have been found to have other kinds of cheaper vegetable and seed oils added to them and not stated on the label.
Nothing like olio nuovo in Tuscany, late October and November. Drizzled on toasted unsalted Tuscan bread (garlic rubbed optional), sprinkled with salt and called “fett’unta”. Sometimes so firy spicy your eyes water, sometimes perfumy and mild. Always grass green and heavenly.
I don't see a ring finger…
the best olive oil i tasted comes from my family's trees in Bouira region, Algeria. less acidic and without bitterness we usually consume it in the same year it was harvested. my grandmother God have mercy on here used to tell us that aged olive oil is a medicine, she lived healthy for more than 90 years
