Fresh oils should not be bitter to the taste. The polyunsaturated fats in Flax Seed Oil and Essential Balance® tend to oxidize more rapidly than monounsaturated and saturated fats, which can result in a slightly bitter taste.

A State Health Department document, widely circulated by schools recommends olive oil as a 'safe and effective way to kill head lice'. It is applied generously to the hair and left on for 8 hours or overnight, on 7 days in a 21 day period. This recommendation is presumably based on its supposed effect as a suffocating agent, or as an aid to nit-combing by lubricating the hair. The Harvard School of Public Health is usually quoted as the reliable source of this recommendation.

In the case of California olive oils, look for the seal of Extra Virgin certification from the California Olive Oil Council (COOC) and check the date of certification - even EVO oils eventually age beyond Extra Virgin standards.

Olivus olive leaf tea has a unique taste. A light steeping delivers a satisfying mellow flavor. Longer steeping or brewing in a tea press creates a stronger, slightly bitter infusion than can be mellowed with a slice of fresh lemon, stevia, soy, milk, sugar and other herbal flavorings.

This oil is obtained by blending refined olive oil and virgin olive oil. Its free acidity level must not exceed 1g per 100g. In some countries this is known as 'pure' olive oil.

Well, it never really was true, but olive oil was the best we had. Olive oil is far superior to most every other oil out there except Mac Nut Oil.

The main problem with olive oil has always been its instability.

Extra Virgin olive oils contain the flavors of the olive fruit. (Tasting a raw olive is one of those experiences you would hope never to repeat.) Bitterness, along with pungency and vegetal/fruit flavors are considered positive attributes in EVO olive oils, particularly when they are well balanced.

The politics of the food industry can sometimes be very complex and machiavellian. In the 1980s there was a campaign to discredit tropical oils, spearheaded by the American Soybean Association and other industry sponsored groups.

This is a non-refined olive oil of the highest quality, yielded from the first cold pressing of high-grade Spanish olives.

Carotenoid Complex's unique formula has been specifically designed to maximize carotenoid absorption; in fact, the carotenoids in Carotenoid Complex are more readily absorbed than they would be in most foods. One of the ways GNLD Carotenoid Complex maximizes carotenoid absorption is to use olive oil, a monounsaturated fatty acid, as a carrier. Olive oil is one of the most readily digestible oils available, and carotenoids are best absorbed when partnered with olive oil.

The only thing one should watch out for in buying green or black olives, or olive oil, is for authenticity.

We use canola oil because it has excellent health properties and the best taste profile. We have spent over three years studying canola oil as it relates to our product.
