what's up ladies and gentlemen this is
0:01
David Benjamin from WellStar reviews
0:03
today I'm going to be reviewing
0:04
kasandrinos olive oil and their bomic 25
0:09
star vinegar so I'm going to start with
0:11
the olive oil their olive oil is a
0:13
product from Greece as you can see right
0:15
there it is certified organic certified
0:18
non GMO uh it's extra virgin olive oil
0:22
it is uh cold pressed I believe let me
0:24
make sure um yeah it's cold pressed
0:29
extra virgin organic non GMO so it's
0:32
cold pressed it's from Laconia I might
0:34
be saying that wrong Greece with olives
0:36
from The Grove to preserve nutrients and
0:38
flavor the results in aromatic fully
0:40
bodied olive oil that we are pleased to
0:42
share so um I'm going to tell you what I
0:46
like about this olive oil before I get
0:48
into the vinegar so many years ago I
0:51
lived in a place called Dearborn
0:53
Michigan and in Dearborn Michigan it's
0:55
the largest Middle Eastern populated
0:57
city in the entire country
1:00
and because of that there's a lot of
1:02
imported goods from the Middle East a
1:04
lot of um you know olive oil figs and
1:07
dates and uh different nuts and things
1:10
like that uh many things that come from
1:11
the Middle East and during the time that
1:14
I lived in Deerborn Michigan I learned
1:17
from locals that there were some olive
1:20
oil companies that would mix olive oil
1:22
with seed oils and or vegetable oils
1:26
which obviously you don't want because
1:28
olive oil and its health healthiest in
1:30
purest form is rich in vitamin E
1:33
polyphenols it's actually a source of
1:36
omega-7 fatty acids which is
1:38
a a less known Omega fatty acid that's
1:42
very important for your health and most
1:43
people don't know that so pure olive oil
1:46
is really a superfood now if you look at
1:48
the Mediterranean diet olive oil is
1:50
quite literally a staple in the
1:52
Mediterranean diet so learning this as I
1:55
lived in Dearborn I learned that many
1:57
companies mixed olive oils with seed
2:00
oils vegetable oils things like that and
2:02
I started to be very cautious about the
2:04
olive oil that I consumed which is
2:05
eventually what led me to C andrino
2:07
olive oil now fast forward a bit more um
2:10
I because I didn't find kandros olive
2:12
oil initially I found some good organic
2:15
uh you know olive oils that seem to be
2:17
good but a lot of them pretty much all
2:19
of them are from California now if
2:22
you're familiar with the agricultural
2:24
industry you would know that California
2:27
is full of pesticides and herbicides
2:30
fungicides all the sides
2:33
CES sides the word side C literally
2:37
means death so fungicide kills fungus
2:39
pesticide kills pest so on and so forth
2:41
herbicide kills plants so the problem
2:44
with even pure organic olive oil coming
2:47
from California is that it comes from a
2:49
region that is very rich in all these
2:51
pesticides and herbicides and fungicides
2:52
and all this kind of stuff so I still
2:54
couldn't fully trust the health and the
2:58
beneficial benefits of ol olve oil from
3:00
here in the US so with that being said I
3:03
had the mentality of okay like the best
3:05
olive oil is obviously from uh you know
3:08
Italy and Spain and Greece actually the
3:10
oldest Olive Tree in the world I believe
3:12
heirloom olives come from Greece because
3:14
the oldest Olive Tree in the world is I
3:16
think it's something like 5,000 years
3:18
old you can look it up online it's this
3:20
massive olive tree and it is in Greece
3:22
so it seems as if Greece is the uh
3:25
Inception point of where olive trees
3:28
started from and then therefore Olive
3:29
and then obviously there for olive oil
3:32
so with that being said kasandrinos
3:34
olive oil is a family run company and I
3:37
have had the pleasure of having lunch
3:40
with the founder of kasandrinos uh in
3:42
Florida several years ago and he shared
3:44
with me his family story his he's Greek
3:47
his family is Greek and they had an
3:49
olive uh Farm or an olive Plantation in
3:52
Greece and initially they were just
3:53
growing these olives and then he decided
3:55
you know what we should start an olive
3:56
oil company and that's what led to
3:58
kasandrinos Olive Oil so it's a really
4:00
cool story family run business like I
4:02
said organic non GMO rich in vitamin E
4:05
rich in polyphenols has a it's a source
4:07
of Omega 7 and it's just incredibly
4:10
healthy so I trust the cust Andros brand
4:13
it's my number one go-to olive oil brand
4:16
now uh sometimes when I'm out I'll get
4:18
an organic olive oil from another brand
4:19
but I mostly like to have this on hand
4:22
uh and then you know once once again
4:23
just to kind of say you know most
4:26
California brands of olive oil I don't
4:27
really trust just because of the
4:29
herbicide Ides unfortunately and
4:30
pesticides and all that now moving on to
4:32
their balsamic vinegar uh this stuff is
4:35
delicious amazing and very unique it's a
4:38
sweet vinegar and the reason for that is
4:40
because I believe it's a I don't know if
4:42
it says it on here oh yeah here it is so
4:44
it's concentrated in cooked grape musk
4:47
with a red wine vinegar imagine those
4:49
two things together a grape musk with a
4:52
red wine vinegar it's absolutely
4:55
fantastic it's great on salads and
4:57
vegetables it's also great on steak and
4:59
or chicken uh it's great for not only
5:02
vegetables but it's also good with like
5:04
cheeses as well so this vinegar has a
5:07
fantastic wide use in terms of uh
5:10
variety and culinary uses and it tastes
5:13
absolutely extraordinary so I give the
5:15
kandros organic olive oil and
5:17
kasandrinos vinegar uh five stars out of
5:20
five stars absolutely incredible and
5:22
even if I didn't meet the founder
5:23
personally I would still give this
5:25
company a very very high review of five
5:27
stars and the reason for that is because
5:28
the quality is is topnotch it's organic
5:31
non GMO extra virgin all that kind of
5:32
stuff and it tastes exceptional you
5:35
taste that richness that you're supposed
5:37
to taste in olive oil and then with this
5:39
vinegar the red wine mixed with that
5:42
grape must uh taste is exceptional it's
5:46
Rich it's sweet it smells good uh and
5:49
you're just going to love the cust
5:50
Andros brand and their product so I'll
5:52
