Trust me, I do. I have also read that expose. I have done quite extensive research on the locals over here and assure myself of only the best. There are quite a few very reputable oil producers here who only process the olives in the old way. Stone ground. I will not use refined oil for anything. It is virgin unrefined stone ground or I do without.

 

Yes the Bariani does sound awesome. But they do have some really awesome oil here too. Made by the good old Italian folks, Greek folks who have been producing this oil for centuries or at the very least generations.

Re: [herbal remedies] Olive oil

 

As long as it it is pressed and not refined that is cool. I myself buy the more expensive stuff, usually at Whole Foods.

 

A few months ago, i read a huge expose though in Nutriotn Mag about how the oliveoil trade has a lot of dirty rats. Some of the exporters actually mix it down with junk or rancid oil and add other stuff to it to make it look and smell better. The whole thing was rather scary, expecially for someone who uses it on a regular basis.

 

Olive oil is not Olive Oil, do some reasearch and be as sure as you can, cheaper is usally cheaper for a reason. This Bariani sounds like a MEGA Winner! I'll have to check it out.

But this is made by the good old italian boys. You can't get it there cause they moved here...lol.. The Bariani family has origins deep rooted in the Northern Italian region of Lombardy. Coming from a long line of entrepreneurs and artisans, the family's ideals have never changed and commitment undeterred. .. and its. stone crushed, cold pressed, decanted, unfiltered, virgin...etc. etc etc (opps did i say made in limited quantities....lol.... Sorry just couldn't resist....
