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 leading MDs for its numerous health benefits.
EVOO is all the rage for those on the paleo, keto and Atkins diets because it’s a delicious, zero-carb food that makes almost any meal more flavorful and deeply satisfying.
In today’s message, we'll briefly review why EVOO is such a health-boosting powerhouse. You’ll also get some great tips on how to buy it, how to store it, how to use it to feel and look more youthful… and create more delicious and nutritious meals.
Keep reading to learn why harvest-fresh olive oils—direct from the farm—are so much healthier and more flavorful than store-bought olive oils (Especially important if you want to reduce inflammation, lose weight, avoid Alzheimer’s, and enhance
longevity).
“Use Extra Virgin Olive Oil and You Might Just ‘Forget to Die’”
—Headline in Reader’s Digest
EVOO—A Truly Remarkable, All-Natural Superfood
Abundant in healthy omega-3s, extra virgin olive oil is an internal lubricant that’s so potent at reducing inflammation everywhere in your body—your knees, hips, elbows, ankles, wrists, muscles, tendons, ligaments, even your arteries… all without the side effects of drug store pain killers.
Scientific studies have also confirmed that extra virgin olive oil lowers bad cholesterol and cuts your risk of heart disease and stroke. It may help protect against cancer, especially cancer of the breast and colon.
According to the New York Times best-selling book Genius Foods, extra virgin olive oil “has been shown in large, long-term trials to protect the brain against decline and even improve cognitive function.” As reported in USA Today, “Temple University research shows extra virgin olive oil protects against memory loss, preserves the ability to learn and reduces conditions associated with Alzheimer’s
disease.”
Extra virgin olive oil also lowers blood pressure and reduces your risk of diabetes. If you want to avoid osteoporosis, olive oil is outstanding because it enables the calcium in your food to be better absorbed into your bones. Extra virgin olive oil is also loaded with antioxidants and polyphenols that help regulate your immune system, protect your body against disease, give you more energy, balance your
hormones, improve your skin, and lower inflammation throughout your body.
In addition, EVOO boosts sexual desire in both men and women because we all need fat—preferably healthy fat—to produce our sex hormones. Fats such as EVOO are metabolized in the liver, enabling the production of testosterone and estrogen. Having a good supply of these sex hormones revs up libido in both men and women.
Now—Are You Ready for This? EVOO Also Helps You Lose Weight Effortlessly
Another great way EVOO affects our hormones is that it has a special ability to suppress your hunger hormones and leave you feeling content and satisfied for much longer, so you wind up eating less.
As reported in Science Daily, research at the University of Vienna has shown that among all foods tested, “Olive oil had the biggest satiety effect.” This is why Prevention magazine has hailed EVOO as “The #1 food to feel full.”
Try This Simple Trick and Prove It to Yourself:
About a half hour before any meal, swallow a tablespoon of EVOO. You’ll be amazed at how it reduces your hunger by mealtime. And that gives you a huge advantage in being able to eat less, yet feel totally satisfied. Try this tip and you’ll see!
Sophia Loren’s Moisturizing Beauty Secret
Movie star Sophia Loren is one of the most alluring beauties of all time. And she freely admits that her #1 secret for radiant, beautiful skin is EVOO. It’s her favorite moisturizer because it works from inside the body and outside. She not only enjoys it at almost every meal, but also pours a small capful into her daily bath to keep her entire body soft and lustrous. Have you ever seen this woman on TV? My
goodness, she positively glows. She’s well into her 80s, yet every time she shows up at a gala, she’s mobbed by a throng of paparazzi and adoring men.
How to Buy EVOO—The #1 Rule
If you want to enjoy all the health, beauty, and other benefits we just mentioned, always insist on fresh EVOO.
As the culinary experts at America’s Test Kitchen put it, when it comes to olive oil, “the fresher, the better.”
A recent New York Times article by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Julia Moskin emphasizes the same point: “More than the flags on the bottle, more than the varietal, more than whether the oil appears grass-green or butter-yellow, many experts and producers now say the biggest factor in the deliciousness of olive oil is its freshness.”
Here’s why freshness is so important with EVOO. The olive is, after all, a fruit. And olive oil is actually a fruit juice. Similar to other fruit juices—such as orange juice—olive oil is amazingly delicious when fresh-squeezed. But when olive oil sits too long in a warehouse, on a store shelf, or even in your own kitchen pantry, it loses its freshness, flavor, and nutritional goodness. It turns
dull, lifeless, stale, and eventually rancid, which is definitely not healthy for you.
Beware of Supermarket Olive Oils
The critical importance of freshness is why we never buy olive oil in stores, where the oils routinely sit on the shelves for months and even years, growing stale, musty, and rancid. Forget “best used by” dates. They tell you nothing about how recently the olive oil was pressed. The best EVOO producers put a pressing date on the label (also known as the “harvest date”).
Preferably, you want to see a date no older than six months ago.
Unfortunately, the producers of the mediocre, mass-market olive oils sold in stores do not put pressing dates on their labels 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 EVOO, not when freshness is the most critical factor in olive oil flavor and nutritional goodness.
Watch Out for Mafia-Made Fake Olive Oil in Stores
There’s another reason we don’t buy olive oil in stores. NBC News has reported that “fake olive oil is rampant.” 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.
Why so much fake olive oil?
Thanks to the many health benefits of authentic olive oil, demand is soaring worldwide. But pure extra virgin olive oil is quite expensive. Just as crime families pocket fortunes by creating cheap knockoffs of designer clothing and handbags, they palm off fake olive
oil in fancy packaging as the real thing. New Yorker magazine has reported that
the profits from counterfeiting olive oil are “comparable to cocaine trafficking,
with none of the risks.”
How Harmful Are Fake Olive Oils?
In his New York Times best-selling book Extra Virginity, olive oil expert Tom Mueller warns that investigators have found contaminants and even cancer-causing agents in fake olive oils, adding:
“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 800 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 you or the people you love.
So Where Should You Buy Your EVOO?
We prefer buying online, where you can secure extra virgin olive oils that are:
- Independently lab-certified to be 100% pure extra virgin olive oil.
- Outrageously delicious and nutritious because they are fresh from the new harvest, with the actual pressing date proudly displayed on the label. Fresh-pressed olive oil shipped direct from the new harvest is bursting with just-plucked-from-the-tree flavor. Its freshness also ensures that the olive oil’s precious polyphenols and antioxidants are at their max. Try just one bottle of such
fresh-pressed olive oil from a reputable online source, and you’ll likely never go back to store-bought olive oil.
How to Try a Free Sample before You Buy… Just Like They Do in Italy
In the gorgeous olive-growing regions of Italy, local farmers have a beautiful custom. During their harvest season they set up roadside stands and invite you to sample their fresh olive oil for free, so you can know whether you like it before you spend money. Well, there’s an entrepreneur who’s making it possible for EVOO lovers in America to receive free samples of the world’s best harvest-fresh olive oils
without leaving home. This is very exciting.
Your Personal “Olive Oil Hunter,” T.J. Robinson
A onetime chef and gourmet food writer/editor, T.J. Robinson came up with the idea of hunting for the world’s best, freshest artisanal extra virgin olive oils—and flying them straight from the new harvest at their peak of flavor directly to the kitchens of America’s top gourmet chefs, passionate foodies, and lovers of natural, healthy foods.
Following the “try it before you buy it” tradition of roadside farmers in Italy, he’ll even send you a free full-size bottle (normally $39 retail) to let you try his harvest-fresh olive oil without any obligation or commitment to buy anything, now or ever. All he asks is just $1 to help him cover shipping. He’s convinced that once you try his EVOO, you’ll become a repeat customer.
T.J. does this through his Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, which is strictly limited to just 20,000 members. He must limit the number of members in the club because his olive oils are sourced from the world’s most exclusive award-winning small family farms, and quantities are always limited.
Joining the club gives you direct access to the purest, freshest, and most flavorful olive oils from gold medal-winning artisanal olive oil producers. These olive oils are personally hand-selected by T.J. Robinson exclusively for his club members and are available nowhere else in America. They are out-of-this-world delicious!

bottle, there’s no commitment to buy anything else.
Moreover, every olive oil T.J. imports is independently lab-certified to be 100% pure extra virgin. This is EVOO you can serve with unabashed pride. And you’ll never again have to worry about feeding your family or guests fake EVOO.

farms that respect the environment, uphold the highest standards in local agriculture, treat their workers fairly, and live in harmony with Mother Nature to produce the finest, 100% pure extra virgin olive oils on earth. These artisanal farms are among the top award-winners in the world.
T.J.’s unique Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club is one of the most customer-friendly companies we’ve ever come across. Unlike some other clubs, there’s never a minimum commitment or obligation to buy anything. Every olive oil comes with a no-questions-asked, 100% money-back guarantee.

customer service team graciously takes care of your refund request immediately.

First, T.J. and his Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club have reserved a strictly limited number—240 bottles (20 cases)—to share with Healing Gourmet readers. Problem is, we’ve got many thousands of readers, so these 240 bottles should go very fast, and it’s first come, first served.
Second, his free sample offer of a $39 bottle for just $1 shipping expires Tuesday, November 19, which will be here before we know it. If you miss it, you’ll have to wait until the next harvest season and hope he repeats the offer.

These oils will add new layers of flavor and deep-down satisfaction to your crisp salads and veggies, grilled meats, delicate fish, crusty hunks of bread, and your other favorite foods.
The publicity this oil is getting is quite something. Foodies, celebrity chefs, and food writers are raving about it. For example, Larry Olmsted, the award-winning food and travel journalist, recently wrote 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.”
