Olive Oil & The Importance Of Authenticity

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


There's no denying the fact that olive oil is one of the better food products from a health-related standpoint. With that said, you have to know why genuine oil matters more than anything else. Of course, the term "genuine" all but means that confident investments will be made. However, it's the litany of details that may go over the heads of others. To better understand what this subject is all about, keep these details in the back of your mind.

According to a Yahoo article, not all types of olive oil are made in the same way. If you were to talk to the biggest culinary experts, for example, you'll start to learn that there are companies which understand the importance of authenticity. They know why oil of this nature should be unrefined, since this will help to keep nutrients and composition alike at high levels. Of course, there have been cases of oil which have been, for lack of better terms, low-quality.

What took me by surprise - and I'm sure that others will agree - is the fact that most extra virgin olive oil brands create fake products. This is where refined oils come into effect, as they are oils which are mixed with others, creating more unnatural products as a result. If you believe that this process is unethical, in certain regards, it may not shock you to know that this is illegal in Europe. Fortunately, the same rule has not carried over into the United States.

There are a few ways to ensure that you invest in only the best olive oil. To start off, you could research different products, seeing what former consumers had to say about them, at least in terms of legitimacy. Once this is done, you can taste the oil itself and see if there is enough fruitiness in the product to be detected. Suffice it to say, the presence of such a flavor matters and it goes to show that legitimacy can, indeed, be picked up on by the sense of taste.

It's understandable why the creation of authentic olive oil is an important point to consider. I am sure that others will attest to this fact, especially when there are so many different products which can be found across various supermarkets. For the best oil to be invested in, you have to obtain as much relevant information as possible. Hopefully you uncover as much as you need so that, in the long term, you'll make much smarter investments.
