How do I choose the best olive oil?
Always opt for extra virgin olive oil, indicating it's unrefined, untreated with heat, and devoid of chemicals. Avoid "Light" olive oils, as they're refined and heat-treated, diminishing their quality. Select olive oil sourced from a single farm or at least one country; manufacturers often blend defective oils from various locations and market them as high-quality. Prioritize dark glass bottles over plastic or transparent ones, as light exposure quickens oil spoilage and plastic may contaminate the product. Verify the harvest date to ensure freshness from the most recent season. For a hassle-free choice, consider Zira Olive Oil, which guarantees superior quality.
