"Reserva Familiar" represents the best Extra Virgin Olive Oils from Oro Bailen. To conserve the health promoting compounds best used cold: dippings, salad dressings or just added cold to a hot dish at the time of serving. Review: Nice pepper-like taste! Would like information on Hydroxytyrosol content. - I have read that the presence of hydroxytyrosols is a key indicator for high quality EVOO but it is hard to find EVOO producers on desertcart that provide hydroxytyrosol information. Here is what Drs. Perricone and Sears have to say about it. Hydroxytyrosol in extra virgin olive oil is only found in Spain and other parts of the Mediterranean. “Hydroxytyrosol is found in highest concentrations only in extra virgin olive oil that is obtained from olives grown in the Mediterranean region, particularly Spain. We don't know why this is. It might be the soil; it might be the particular type of tree. Even though hydroxytyrosol is found only in a few parts per million in olive oil, it is so powerful that it is probably the chief antioxidant in olive oil. Hydroxytyrosol slows the aging process in the skin by stabilizing the cell plasma membrane. Since it also prevents the oxidation of keratin protein, hydroxytyrosol makes the hair soft, shiny, and lustrous, and it prevents nails from peeling and breaking. And these great benefits can be yours with a daily salad of mixed dark leafy greens, topped with extra virgin olive oil.” (Nicholas Perricone, The Perricone Prescription, HarperCollins, 2004, pp. 65-73) How to tell if your EVOO has high levels of hydroxytyrosol. “But don't take my word for it-try this simple taste test. Take a teaspoonful of olive oil and put it in your mouth. It should have a buttery taste, as opposed to a bland oil taste. Now swish the oil along the top of your mouth with your tongue until it hits the back of your throat. You should notice a very pepper-like taste. If you don't, then the oil contains virtually no hydroxytyrosol, which means it has virtually no health benefits.” (Excerpted from Dr. Barry Sears, The Anti-Inflammation Zone, ReganBooks HarperCollins, 2006, p. 91) Review: Best of best - Tried many different brands.

I like vitamin e oil if my hair is very dry but I would only use it before washing it. I would use olive oil the same way. I don't know if an expensive olive oil would be much better than a cheaper one, but that's only a conjecture since I have not done it. **Q: Hi. If I order a bottle on, say, February 1st 2017, what harvest will it be from?** A: Hi CarlIn this moment we are sending the new harvest 2016-2017. If you order a bottle today or the 1st 2017 it will be the new harvest.Oliva Oliva Internet **Q: Hi, Is the bottle plastic or glass? Thanks!** A: It's dark glass and a bit tall - tall and rather narrow. It's well made with an insert that makes it easy to pour. I tried to remove insert for another bottle but could not. I would not have anything but glass for any quality oil. Hope that helps. **Q: Organic, cold-pressed, unrefined?** A: Oro Bailen is no doubt one of the best olive oils in the US market today. Although it's not technically Organic it is made in the South of Spain in natural surroundings and with a high degree of environmental concern. Cold-pressed is an obsolete expression valid when olives were pressed in rustic equipment without means to control the temperature of the process and when hot watter was used to increase the oil output of olives. Today, any high-end extra virgin olive oil is made in a way that temperature never rises above 27ºC; otherwise, there is no way to achieve high-end quality. I prefer to use cold extraction. For a cold extraction olive oil the temperature of the product is automatically maintained at all times bellow the 27ºC mark. This is the case with Oro Bailen. By definition, a real extra virgin is not a refined olive oil. Refined olive oil is made from olive oil that is not good for human consumption and that then is processed chemically to get rid of what is called "defaults". A refined olive oil has no aroma. Oro Bailen is not refined. Oro Bailen is a natural extra virgin of extra high quality that keeps wonderful aromas of green grass, artichoke, tomato, almonds... Aromas you would enjoy having it in your plate. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice pepper-like taste!
