What makes an olive oil truly exceptional?

In this episode, Ben Moss sits down with award-winning olive oil producer Richard Meisler, owner of San Miguel Olive Farm, to uncover the real story behind olive oil quality—what’s on the label, and what isn’t. From “Tree to Mill,” Meisler explains the overlooked details that separate supermarket oil from the best-in-class, high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oils.

They cover how farming practices, harvest timing, pressing methods, and storage all influence potency and flavor. Along the way, Meisler offers practical tips on how to recognize quality, avoid common pitfalls, and understand the difference between marketing and meaningful standards.

A must-watch for anyone who uses olive oil—or wants to make it part of a healthy lifestyle.

Ben and Dr. Ralph Moss take a deep dive into newly published research on extra virgin olive oil and its potential role in supporting cancer patients. The discussion covers reduced hand-foot syndrome during chemotherapy, specifically Xeloda (capecitabine), lowered all-cause mortality, and the reasons EVOO topped Dr. Moss’s list of anti-cancer foods.

The episode also examines how to understand real quality in olive oil—from taste to polyphenol content—and what to look for in a product that offers more than just flavor.
