Hi Carolyn,

The way I understand it, extra virgin means the oil from the first

(virgin) cold pressing of the olives. Everything else is some marketing

concept. I only buy " Extra Virgin, Cold Pressed " as these words have a

legal definition.

BR Cohn California Extra Virgin Olive Oil this one tastes exceptional but is

really quite expensive, not organic. If you are having company over and having

an olive oil dip dish for breads, this one is the one I would prefer to use for

that.

Bionature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil this one is very strong and yes

heavier, for some reason any organic anything is going to be denser/heavier and

it does take some getting use to the different tastes but after a while you grow

very accustom to it and recognize that which is not organic....maybe it's just a

few of us out here with extra sensitive tastebuds or is it because of the diet

being more pure for many years? Any rate, I think for a flush that the wise

thing would be to use non-organic cheaper extra virgins because this could get

really expensive....*tehehehe* I used my organic because that was what I had in

my cabinet but for my next cleanse I won't be splurging on OO for the

purpose....*lol*

Oh yes, there are many places on the internet that offer the first pressed extra

virgin organic and some that have monthly OO's to sample different ones, but be

aware that they all have their own flavor and you could be put off with some of

them but then you may fall in love with some of them! LOL. Really, if you have

access to a co-op or organic grocer then go there and do it that way first to

intro yourself into different OO's.

Peace

Hi ,

Oh dear, I guess I should have told you what kind I used, although I'm not sure

it would have made a difference---like you said, maybe our tastes are different.

I use Spectrum Naturals, organic, cold-pressed, extra virgin, olive oil. It

does seem fairly light in color, although I couldn't exactly tell when I just

looked at it, because it is all congealed from being in the refrigerator. (but,

yes, no burping it up ;-) )

I'm glad the cleanse went well though, other than the awful taste of the oil;

not sure how to comment about some of your results ;-) but you are quickly

becoming a pro at this.

I was surprised. It had a different smell to it as well. Adrienne, you said

that you don't burp as much with the organic? Well...I had the opposite

experience!
