Yes, hopinso. The Egyptian is preferred because it's basically LESS BITTER and goes down easier in my opinion. Others swear by its potency and efficacy to combat illness. We were non discriminate at one point, but after being told of the superiority of the Egyptian oil and trying it, we only buy black seed oil from Egypt now. We also prefer the Egyptian whole seed. But to each his own. I believe that even the more pungent and spicy brands have BENEFIT, even if they quality is not as good, as long as they are in fact extracted from actual whole black seed (nigella sativa). It's a preference thing, and the Egyptian oil is highly coveted now. I guess someone could do a clinical test of several brands and PROVE which is superior huh? : )
