Is Your Olive Oil the Real Thing?



Olive oil is so versatile! It can be used internally and externally for your beauty and health!

For that reason, it should be included in meals regularly!

The problem is that many of the oils that are sold, are not the real thing! If you don't know what to look for, you may have a hard time figuring out which product to buy!

Is Your Olive Oil the Real Thing?

One thing many people fail to mention (when they're talking about the many benefits of using OO) is that you will not get as many of the numerous benefits from using it unless you learn to read labels! 'Cold Pressed' or 'Hard Cold Pressed' or 'First Cold Pressed' are words that should draw your attention. It can be listed all of these ways. (As seen in the picture above.)

This is usually hard to see on the label so you will need to look for it closely! The information is usually located on the top right hand side of the label or off to the side of the main label somewhere.

If you can’t find any of these words on the bottle’s label, then it’s not the real thing! Lite Extra Virgin Olive Oils are most often not cold pressed unless you buy them from a Health Food Store! And even then, you still have to read the labels.

I have read a lot of 'Health and Beauty Newsletters' and it still amazes me to read that they are urging you to use Lite Virgin Olive Oils but not talking about 'Cold Pressed'.

If you shop at economy stores like Walmart and Target, then you know how important it is to stretch your dollar. Many of us simply can’t afford to buy oils at expensive Health Food Stores, especially if you have a large family or are a single parent.

Filippo Berio cold pressed OO is reasonably priced and has the least aftertaste of any other oil on the market. The price on the product has definitely gone up but the lesser value brands won't be cold pressed. For normal cooking, one bottle should last about 2 months, so it’s still really a good buy. You just gotta be willing to 'pay it forward'.

Filippo Berio changed my mind about olive oils. If you've tried OO and don't like it, try this brand. It will change your mind too. It's simply delicious to use in everything you cook and is so much more healthy for you. The health benefits are tremendous and you'll be doing yourself a favor by incorporating it in your daily meals!

Olive Oil’s that are not labeled 'cold pressed' are produced in giant vats at processing plants that use preservatives and do not involve a natural cold pressing process. Unless the label says it’s cold pressed, its not. If you are not using cold pressed, you are not getting as many benefits from using it!

OO is a great source of Vitamin E if you include it in your diet with consistency! Vitamin E helps sustain and improve the integrity of the skin and is essential! It also helps to lower the LDL cholesterol, which is the bad stuff.

Cold pressing is a very slow and natural way oil is cured. It keeps the essential and beneficial elements of the oil in the oil itself. If you are not using 'Cold Pressed', then you are making a big mistake. It doesn’t cost much more to buy than the processed olive oil that you can buy in regular stores.

Use extra virgin cold pressed in your cooking. You can even use it for frying. You just have to use less of it, as it is a thicker oil than a 'Lite' version and therefore takes doesn’t deep fry very well.

Olive oil is used lavishly in the Mediterranean diet. The people who live in the Mediterranean know it's many health benefits! If you need to lose weight, try the diet! You'll be far healthier as your body sheds excess fat. It's one of the few diet plans that this site recommends!

OO also a good overnight moisturizer to use in your hair. It keeps the frizzie's away and helps restore moisture to your hair. You will need to wash it out in the morning. It has moisturizing qualities that work well on the skin too, so use it on your hair and skin.

Using olive oil frequently can improve your beauty and your health. Substitute it for butter in your cooking and slather some on your hair or skin if they feel dry. Incorporate it where and when you can for better beauty and health!
