8 marcas de ACEITE que deberías EVITAR en España (y por qué pagas el triple)

You went to buy olive oil and almost had a heart attack: what used to cost 3 euros now costs 9, 10, 11. The price has skyrocketed. And you pay it resignedly. But no one has asked you this question: if YOU are paying three times as much as ever, why is the olive farmer who harvests the olives, in many cases, earning LESS than ever? Where does that money go? Certainly not into their pocket. And on top of that, some brands you pay a fortune for don't even give you real olive oil: they give you refined oil disguised with a fancy label. This is part 2 of our olive oil video. In the first part, we told you which oils aren't truly extra virgin. Today, we're going after the MONEY: who charges you, who gets it, and who's left with nothing. Let us explain: — The "MILD" and "INTENSE" trick: it's not a matter of taste, it's refined oil in disguise. "Mild" is not a legal category. — The hidden owner: several brands you think are rivals belong to the same giant (you'll be surprised who's behind Spain's number one brand). —Why part of the price increase is real (poor harvests, drought)... but that money doesn't reach the farmers equally. Let's count down from 8 to 1: the "mild" ones, the pomace brand, Borges, La Española, Koipe, Hacendado, Coosur... And number 1 is the best-selling olive oil brand in Spain, the one with the bottle you instantly recognize. And the 3-senses TRICK to know in 30 seconds if your oil is good: look at it (color), smell it (aroma), and taste it (does it sting your throat?). That sting is the sign of quality that the industry eliminates to sell you the "mild" one. And unlike other channels, today we're NOT leaving you with the problem. Here are 4 key tips for buying real olive oil and ensuring your money goes directly to the producer. ⏱️ VIDEO INDEX 00:00 — You pay triple, the olive grower gets paid less 01:30 — This is part 2 of the olive oil story 02:15 — Part of the price increase is real (let's be fair) 02:45 — What we're going to see today 03:30 — Olive oil categories and the "mild" trick 05:30 — The 8 brands to avoid (countdown) 05:45 — No. 8: "Mild" and "intense" olive oils 07:00 — No. 7: Pomace oil 08:30 — No. 6: Borges 09:45 — No. 5: La Española 11:00 — No. 4: Koipe (and who owns it) 12:15 — THE 3 SENSES TRICK (color, smell, (itching) 3:30 PM — No. 3: Hacendado 4:45 PM — No. 2: Coosur (and the owner's boss) 6:15 PM — No. 1: Carbonell (and the giant behind it) 📌 ON THIS CHANNEL Every week we uncover a product from the Spanish supermarket.
