00:00Of all the things referred to as liquid gold in our world, olive oil is probably as close as it
00:05gets, and if you've spent any time on TikTok or Instagram lately, you'll have noticed that fancy
00:11olive oil brands such as Graza or Brightland have been very trendy and popular. But are they worth
00:18their more expensive price point? According to HuffPost, these less than 20 fluid ounce bottles
00:23are selling between $15 and $30, whereas a regular 2-liter jug of Kirkland olive oil costs $20.
00:32Christina Macchio, chef de cuisine of High Street in Philadelphia,
00:36says like any luxury product, it's only worth it if you really want it.
00:40On one hand, it's all about the marketing of these sleek and photo-friendly bottles.
00:45On the other, some of the brands really do sell you a higher-grade product.
00:49According to Epicurious, distinguishing between good and bad olive oil comes down to trusting
00:55your senses. If it tastes good, it probably is good. But much like any other food, spice,
01:01or dressing, personal taste will be the deciding factor. Perhaps a fun afternoon of olive oil
01:07tasting with family and close friends is in order. It's a great way to bond over food and pretend,
01:13if but for one moment, that we're living that Italian country life.
