  These days probably 90% of everything you buy is robbing you

  I used to import most of the olive oil coming into the UK in the 80s and 90s and most of the standard Riviera oil on supermarket shelves comes from the same place in Spain.<br><br>M&amp;S used to buy from small Italian producers near Lucca. The other side of the Autopista from Philipo Berio. <br><br>I used to know all the oil plants. <br><br>Most oil then was processed by Leon Frenkel at Belvedere. M&amp;S was always kept separately. <br><br>At that time the oil was not heavily processed but today...who knows?

  When we went to Greece last year the hotel owners told us the Olive oils we get in the UK are the same quality as what they use for candles and they would never consume them

  One of the best oils we use is Pitino Agricolo from a 110 acre historic farm in its own valley in Borgo Monticole, Le Marche, Italy. Its not on the shelves locally in South Wales but we buy direct. Each harvest tends to sell out so we put order in around October. Amazing oils I promise !

  Typically Rip-Off Britain, we live in a Cul-De-Sac where evil and bad behaviour especially from big Corporations/Government Dictators is Rife and rampant!

  I often wondered what all the fuss was about, having tested a little Filippo Berio on some freshly cooked potatoes - I thought it might as well be cheap vegetable oil, or sump oil from the engine of my motorcycle; now I feel better informed; thanks.

  Make sure you get single source OO with traceability. I like Cobram Estate (California) and Terra De Lyssa (Tunisia).

  Mediterranean countries produce high quality olive oil, as a Portuguese, I try to buy Portuguese extra virgin olive oil where I can. Sometimes Lidl sells it, and surprisingly, you may find it on TK Maxx shops. Our latest purchased was Nektar extra virgin and we paid £8 for a 750ml dark glass bottle with an acidity of 0.8. If it is higher than 0.8 than it&apos;s virgin oil, and can hold high temps better. Extra virgin are better for dressings, light cooking and seasoning.

  I bought Terra De Lyssa at Morrisons (on offer!) after watching this. It is SO much better than the oils I&apos;d been using. In fact I&apos;m not sure I&apos;ve ever used a genuinely good olive oil before! Thanks.
