I am looking for the highest quality, cold pressed and unfiltered extra virgin olive oil that I can buy in the UK or online that ships it safely to me. I read the article below and want to ensure I am getting the best!
';How does one ensure that they are eating the most healthful oil? Find an extra virgin olive oil that is cold pressed, unfiltered, and looks cloudy. The oil should be packaged in dark glass bottles to protect it from the damaging effects of light. Real olive oil is still made in small estate bottled settings. The challenge is to find one that does it all right!';
http://www.living-foods.com/articles/oliveoil.htmlWhat is the best cold pressed and unfiltered extra virgin olive oil? (I live in UK)?
Wow, that is like asking what wine is the best in the world. There are many fine EVOO's from many countries. I like the Delish California blend, with nutty, fruity tones.
I think any quality gourmet food grocer can provide you with what you want. Try a few, and see what you like.
Another way is to pair the oil with the kind of food you are serving. There are wonderful Jordanian, Turkish and Lebanese EVOOs that are just as good of quality for less money then an Italian.
The article you provided described how to shop for olive oil. Save your self some money and trouble, head down to the store, and apply the principals to try a few. Besides, even a less then perfect quality EVOO can provide many benefits that a healthy diet can supplement. The best health food, is the kind you eat.
