Scientific studies have confirmed that extra virgin olive oil is one of Mother Nature’s most remarkable superfoods. It lowers bad cholesterol and cuts your risk of heart disease and stroke. It may help protect you against cancer, especially cancer of the breast, prostate, and colon. It can be a godsend for arthritis sufferers because it can reduce inflammation and ease joint pain without side effects.
Extra virgin olive oil also lowers blood pressure and reduces your risk of diabetes. It may even help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. If you want to avoid osteoporosis, it’s outstanding because it enables the calcium in your food to be better absorbed into your bones. Extra virgin olive oil is loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols that help regulate your immune system and aid it in protecting your body against disease. It contains zero carbs, which makes it ideal for those on the popular keto, Paleo, Atkins diets and other low-carb lifestyles.
Thanks to the many health benefits of authentic olive oil, demand has soared worldwide. But 100% pure extra virgin olive oil (the highest grade) is quite expensive. So crooks have seized an opportunity. Notorious crime syndicates in Italy and elsewhere have been raking in fortunes by creating massive amounts of counterfeit extra virgin olive oils. Just as these crime families produce cheap knockoffs of designer clothing and handbags, they palm off fake olive oil as extra virgin. And because America is the world’s largest consumer market, the crooks have targeted American supermarkets as a favorite dumping ground.
NBC News has reported that “fake olive oil is rampant.” The Wall Street Journal adds, “American grocery stores are awash in cheap, fake ‘extra virgins.’” In an explosive exposé, 60 Minutes has cautioned that you face a “sea of fakes” when you shop for olive oil in stores.
New Yorker magazine has reported that the profits in counterfeiting olive oil are “comparable to cocaine trafficking, with none of the risks.”
In his New York Times best-selling book, Extra Virginity, olive oil expert Tom Mueller warns of contaminants and even cancer-causing agents in fake olive oils, as follows:
“Italian investigators have found hydrocarbon residues, pesticides, and other contaminants in fake oils, and pomace oil, a common adulterant, sometimes contains mineral oil as well as PAHs, proven carcinogens that can also damage DNA and the immune system. Then there’s the 1981 case of toxic oil syndrome in Spain, when rapeseed oil adulterated with an industrial additive, sold as olive oil, killed eight hundred people and seriously injured thousands more.”
This is why you never want to feed your family counterfeit olive oils cooked up by criminals who couldn’t care less about your health or your family’s safety.
As the experts in the 60 Minutes exposé recommend, you can avoid criminally produced olive oils by doing your homework online. Located around the world are quite a few good and honorable farmers who bypass the criminal counterfeiting factories and instead sell their olive oils directly to consumers.
But if you’d just as soon save yourself the time and hassle of researching dozens of online olive oil producers, sometimes having to decipher websites in foreign languages and arranging your own international shipping, I invite you to join me and a group of passionate olive oil lovers on a culinary adventure of a lifetime. We’ve set up a society dedicated to appreciating the purest, freshest, most nutritious, and most flavorful olive oils from around the world.
As a food writer and a former professional chef, I’ve been a passionate olive oil lover for most of my life. Several years ago, while on a writing assignment in Sicily during the olive harvest, I tasted authentic fresh-pressed olive oil for the first time. It was an epiphany. I had no idea how divine EVOO tastes when the olives are pressed immediately after being plucked from the tree.
I decided to share this discovery with my fellow chefs and foodie friends. I started a small, private society for olive oil lovers like me who want to receive the world’s finest artisanal olive oils direct from artisanal family farms at harvest time. Such ultra-fresh olive oil is bursting with flavor and nutritional potency that’s impossible to find in supermarket olive oils.
The club I started is called the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, and what a wonderful job I’ve given myself. Every three months, I vagabond around the world, visiting gold medal-winning farms to select the purest, most delicious olive oils. I personally inspect, taste, select, and bottle the finest oils available from each new harvest. Then I rush my newfound oils to my club members in America.
And before I commit to any olive oil, I have it independently certified to be 100% pure extra virgin. This means you’ll never again have to worry about serving your family or guests olive oil that’s fake, stale, counterfeit, or diluted with cheap, potentially harmful ingredients.
I like to make it easy for you to try these best-of-the-best olive oils.
First, in my club, there’s never an obligation or commitment to buy any minimum number of olive oils. Best of all, you can try these extraordinary olive oils 100% risk-free. If, after you try them, you decide for any reason they’re not for you, just let me know and you’ll receive all your money back. You can even keep the oils I’ve sent as my thank you for giving my club a try.
Have you ever heard of a supermarket offering you all your money back and letting you keep whatever you brought home from the store! The only reason I can do it is because the vast majority of olive oil lovers who try my oils never want to be without them again.
As soon as you receive your oil, open the cap and inhale the oil’s harvest-fresh bouquet. You’ll instantly notice the air around you fill with a farm-fresh fragrance, as if you’ve opened a garden in a bottle. This vibrant, grassy aroma, akin to new-mown hay, results from nothing more than 100% pure extra virgin olive oil straight from the olive grove—not a single ingredient added!
Next, for a truly stunning revelation, compare your newly arrived farm-fresh EVOO to the olive oil sitting in your kitchen pantry. Perform a simple taste test with each, and you’ll immediately realize what bountiful fresh flavor and aroma you’ve been missing in all your dishes, all these years.
If, like most people, you’ve been dining at home a lot more these days, these harvest-fresh oils will bring a well-deserved upgrade to every meal. You’ll experience such enhanced dining pleasure as you drizzle this harvest-fresh olive oil on your crisp salads, delicate fish, grilled steaks, fresh veggies, luscious pastas, or simply on a hunk of warm, crusty bread or piece of tangy cheese. As one club member, Jennifer of Newport, Rhode Island, said of her first experience with our harvest-fresh olive oil: “I have died and gone to Italy!!!”
The publicity this oil is getting is quite something. Foodies, celebrity chefs, and food writers are raving as well. For example, Larry Olmsted, the award-winning food and travel journalist, recently wrote this in his New York Times best-selling book, Real Food/Fake Food.
“I now get most of my oil from T.J. Robinson’s Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, and every time I open a bottle, my kitchen literally fills up with the smell of fresh crushed olives—the scent explodes out of the bottle. Just breaking the seal transports me to Italy or Spain or Chile.“
