    you’re right, it’s bullshit marketing and it sucks. The front of the tin does say “tuna in olive oil blend”, in fairness. All the other brands are the same / similar.

    If it was real, pure olive oil it would cost more.

    I just buy the stuff packed in spring water, drain it, and pour olive oil over it.

      Unless it says extra virgin olive oil, the olive oil itself might even be highly processed.

      To be designated as extra-virgin, no heat or chemicals can be used during the extraction process or at any other stage of getting it into the bottle

        Yeah, there’s a lot to good EVOO.

        Here i wouldnt really trust anything I can get from the supermarket, and certainly not anything imported.

        The health benefits diminish significantly over time.

        So the “best before” date might be 2 years, but if you want the health benefits then every month counts. Also the time spent in contact with air.

      the best way to do it, since even if you drain the oil tuna, you’ll still be consuming a non-zero amount of crap ultraprocessed shit oil
