Love olive oil? There's good news, scary news.

[Quick and Crafty from FaveCrafts Special Offers]  An important message for anyone who uses olive oil [Special Report: Olive Oil Alert!](  [Learn more. ](  First, the Good News  Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is on just about everyone’s shopping list these days. It’s been hailed as a superfood by Harvard Medical School, acclaimed by the Mayo Clinic, lauded by the Yale School of Public Health, and recommended by scores of MDs and eminent researchers for its numerous health benefits.  According to the New York Times best-selling book Genius Foods, olive oil “has been shown in large, long-term trials to protect the brain against decline and even improve cognitive function.”  The Arthritis Foundation adds, “Studies have revealed that a compound in the oil, called oleocanthal, prevents the production of pro-inflammatory COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes—the same way ibuprofen works.” Yet extra virgin olive oil has none of the side effects of ibuprofen. It’s a 100% natural painkiller straight from “Mother Nature’s pharmacy.”  The Scary News  But there is a dark side.  As you’ve probably heard on the news, fake Mafia-made olive oils have been flooding U.S. supermarkets. If you’ve missed this frightening story, here are just a few quotes from articles you can read online.  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 titled “Don’t Fall Victim to Olive Oil Fraud,” 60 Minutes has cautioned that you face a “sea of fakes” when you shop for olive oil in stores.  Without a lab test, it’s virtually impossible for a shopper to tell which olive oils on supermarket shelves are the real deal and which are look-alike imposters.  Why Is This Happening?  Thanks to the many health benefits of authentic extra virgin olive oil, demand is soaring worldwide. But 100% pure extra virgin olive oil (the highest grade) is expensive to produce. Just as notorious crime families pocket fortunes by creating cheap knockoffs of designer clothing and handbags, they palm off fake olive oil as extra virgin. The New Yorker magazine has reported that the profits in counterfeiting olive oil are “comparable to cocaine trafficking, with none of the risks.”  Because America is the world’s largest consumer market, the crooks have successfully targeted U.S. supermarkets as a favorite dumping ground.  Cancer-Causing Agents in Fake Olive Oils?  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. He writes:  “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.”  How to Avoid Olive Oils Made by Criminals  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 accredited and honorable farmers who bypass the criminal counterfeiting mills and instead sell their olive oils directly to consumers. I’ll show you an easy way to order from the best in a moment.  Another Reason to Avoid Supermarket Olive Oils: They’re Not Fresh! The Freshest Olive Oils Have the Most Polyphenols and Flavor  Olive oil, unlike wine, does not get better with age. Olives, after all, are a fruit. Just as with any fruit juice, olive oil is at its glorious peak of freshness, flavor, and nutritional potency when fresh-squeezed. But such farm-fresh olive oil is virtually impossible to find in supermarkets.  Here’s why. Most olive oil is shipped to the US on slow-moving cargo ships. Then it languishes in warehouses and on store shelves for months or even years. As a result, olive oils in stores can be technically within their best-if-used-by date but way beyond their six-month window of peak freshness, flavor and nutritional potency.  Indeed, a study by the University of California, Davis, found that 69% of imported olive oils labeled “extra virgin” sold in stores were so substandard or stale that in no way could they qualify to be classified as extra virgin olive oil.  The Six-Month Rule  When you shop for olive oil, forget the “Best-If-Used-By-Date” on the label. It tells you nothing about how recently the olive oil was pressed. You need to find extra virgin olive oil with a pressing date (also known as the “harvest date”) on the label, preferably a date no more than six months before your date of purchase.  Unfortunately, the producers of mediocre, mass-market olive oils sold in stores do not put pressing dates on the label because they don’t want you to know how old, stale, or rancid their oils may be. If fact, you can verify this by checking the bottle in your own pantry right now. If you bought it in a store, the odds are overwhelming that the pressing date was intentionally omitted from the label.  This is no coincidence, and it’s no way to buy your olive oil, not when freshness is the most critical factor in flavor and major nutritional benefits.  Where to Shop for the World’s Purest, Freshest, Most Flavorful, and Most Nutritious Olive Oils  You can find superb, award-winning olive oils by doing your homework online. Located around the world are quite a few dedicated artisanal producers who offer their award-winning, 100% pure, harvest-fresh olive oils directly to consumers.  However, if you’d just as soon save yourself the time and hassle of researching dozens of online olive oil producers, deciphering websites in foreign languages, conducting independent lab tests to guarantee purity, and arranging 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 that makes it delightfully easy to enjoy the purest, freshest, and most delicious olive oils from the top undiscovered small farms around the world. We also share our impressions of each oil as well as recipes and lots more.  Let me tell you our story and how we like to welcome new members, including you.  Announcing America’s Only Source of Harvest-Fresh Olive Oils All Year Round—Shipped Right to Your Door  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 harvest-fresh olive oil for the first time. It was an epiphany, a life-changing experience. I had no idea how divine EVOO tastes when the olives are pressed immediately after being plucked from the tree at harvest time.  I decided to share this discovery with a few of my fellow chefs and foodie friends. I started a small, private society for olive oil lovers like me who want to experience the world’s finest artisanal olive oils direct from artisanal family farms at harvest time. These olive oils are never available in US supermarkets or gourmet stores.  The group I started is called the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, and what a wonderful job I’ve given myself. Every three months I adventure around the world, visiting the latest harvests in various countries to select the purest, most delicious olive oils from the world’s top gold-medal winning small family farms. 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.  Every olive oil I select is 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, or diluted with cheap, potentially harmful ingredients.  Your Trio of Best-of-the-Best Olive Oils Has Just Arrived from the New Harvest  If you’re even mildly curious about joining us and discovering how glorious EVOO tastes at the peak of harvest-fresh flavor, I’d like to send you something special to introduce you to our club.  It’s my handpicked trio of the finest olive oils direct from the new harvest.

So this is a win-win proposition for everyone, including our Mother Earth.  A Food Critic’s Rave  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.”  When you click on the link below, you’ll see similar comments from many other olive oil lovers as well.  Extra Bonus If You Respond Now  Click on the link below, and I will toss in an extra bonus: our club’s fabulous ebook, 16 All-Time Favorite Recipes for Health and Longevity.

Frazer III, MD, specialist in geriatrics and antiaging medicine.  * * *  “These fresh-pressed olive oils take your favorite meals to new heights of flavor. I know this personally because one of the ways I relax is by puttering around my kitchen. I happily drizzle these scrumptious oils over my Greek shrimp salad, bay-steamed halibut, baked wild salmon, balsamic chicken salad, julienne green beans and other veggies, just to mention a few of my ‘specialties of the house.’  “And it’s not just the fresh-pressed flavor I’m after. These harvest-fresh extra virgin olive oils are bursting with off-the-charts levels of polyphenols and antioxidants. These are among the nutrients that make olive oil renowned for its health benefits. And they are most abundant when olive oil is harvest-fresh.  “In studies, these nutrients have been shown to be associated with lower risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. They may also help protect you against other conditions such as Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, and even certain cancers.” —Ronald Hoffman, MD, author of numerous books and articles for health professionals and the public. He is the host of the popular nationally syndicated radio program Intelligent Medicine, and the Internet podcast of the same name.  * * *  When you click on the link below, you’ll see similar comments from many other olive oil lovers across America.   [>> Click here to claim your three bottles for the price of two and your bonus recipe ebook.
