¡8 marcas de ACEITE que NO deberías comprar en España! (y 4 que SÍ son aceite de verdad)

The extra virgin olive oil you have in your kitchen right now, the one you use every day for frying, dressing salads, and drizzled on your breakfast toast, is often NOT extra virgin. It's something else entirely. This oil has been analyzed in independent laboratories, has appeared in investigations by the Civil Guard (Operation Reluciente, 2023), has been reported by the OCU (Spanish Consumers' Organization), and is still sold as extra virgin by most of the country's best-selling brands, even though it doesn't technically meet the legal requirements. In this video, we explain the five legal categories of olive oil according to EU Regulation 1308/2013, why most oils in Spanish supermarkets aren't truly extra virgin, which brands you should research thoroughly before your next purchase, and what the real alternatives are that do comply with the law. We analyze eight very popular brands that you probably already have at home, and four (also affordable) brands that are 100% extra virgin olive oil. We're counting down from 8 to 1. And the number 1 brand, the one that closes this video, is probably the one you have on your countertop right now. A century-old brand that has repeatedly appeared in analyses with documented problems. Also, at the end of the video, we'll show you the refrigerator test. A test you can do in less than 90 minutes in your kitchen, with a glass and your own refrigerator, to find out exactly what you've been cooking for years. No need to take our word for it. You'll see it with your own eyes. ⏱️ VIDEO INDEX 00:00 — The oil you're using isn't extra virgin 01:30 — Operation Shining: the Spanish olive oil scandal 03:00 — The 5 legal categories of olive oil 06:30 — The 8 brands to avoid (countdown) 06:45 — No. 8: Supermarket store brands 08:30 — No. 7: Bertolli (the Italian trap) 10:15 — No. 6: La Española 11:45 — No. 5: Borges 13:15 — The refrigerator test (try it at home) 15:30 — No. 4: Coosur 17:00 — No. 3: Hojiblanca 18:30 — No. 2: Koipe (the hidden conglomerate) 20:00 — No. 1: the century-old betrayal (Carbonell) 10:30 PM — 4 brands that are truly olive oil 10:45 PM — Cooperatives with Protected Designation of Origin 12:00 AM — Small, direct-sales olive mills 12:00 AM — Premium lines from Carbonell/Bertolli/La Española 12:00 AM — Hacendado Special Selection Extra Virgin Olive Oil 12:00 AM — Why your generation is the most affected 12:30 AM — Next video: the "cold cut" that ISN'T meat 📌 ON THIS CHANNEL Every week we uncover a product from the Spanish supermarket.
