Dear Subscriber,
Adulterated olive oil is a huge and profitable business for low level and organized crime. The mob cuts oil and pawns it off as true 100% olive oil. This is very profitable for them.
I have been reading where in Europe, stealth thieves will raid an olive grove overnight, stealing the commodity off the trees, and often damaging the trees to get the fruit.
Worse for you, you can go to the store and see European olive oils. Problem is, you don’t know if they have been cut with inferior or even toxic oils, like cottonseed. Years ago, I heard of this practice even here in America and was warned about olive oil in general, including big brands
The health benefits of olive oil are enormous as I have reported here. The crime involved in this business repulses me. Hence, Terri and I simply bought a full case of oil from Berkeley Olive Grove. There are likely other pure oils, but this one came with an analysis of the very high amount of precious polyphenols, particularly hydroxy tyrosol.
This year, I cured all of our olives. Next year our trees should be more mature so that I can divert use to taking a load to an olive press for “juicing” into oil. No, it won’t be for sale, unfortunately. Hopefully we can get enough of our own for months. Terri and I both go through olive oil fast. Please be careful of what you purchase.
I will do my best to keep up with this and report to you what I find out. But for the moment, we are loading up for many months’ supply from Berkeley Olive Grove. Again, I do NOT receive anything from your orders from the Olive Grove. Darro is giving you the same price he gives me.
To Your Excellent Health,

My daughter uses the Nemechek Protocol for her autistic child. They sell an olive oil that seems pretty good and has a good flavor.
