with cops seizing 42 tons of packaged “extra virgin” worth $1 million.

If it is fake, then it isn't worth $1 million.

I guess “Extra Virgin” olive oil means not even looked at a man.

Never buy cheap EVOO, and if you buy California EVOO you can rest assured it’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

They have a program, inclusive of testing.

[Paladin2]

Define Extra Virgin.

Olive oil is a basic item in an Italian neighborhood.

I remember shortly after the war going down to a neighboring child’s basement to play and there they were, bottles and bottles of imported virgin olive oil lining the shelves.

Some 80% of olive oil is fake, adulterated, rancis or just old. [Forbes]

Protect yourself as best you can.
Don’t buy blends or “Mediterranean” mixes. Olives need to be picked and crushed immediately. How do you bring olives from Spain to Italy and have a good result?
Look for estate bottles such as Partanna by Asaro from Sicily.
Price DOES matter. $10 a liter is not a good oil.
Look for certified bottles. DOP, COOC and others.
Lastly, thanks to Italy for trying.

Don’t mess with my evoo.

I buy California Olive Ranch Extra virgin from Publix. I think they sell two types. I always buy the one that has a little sticker on the bottle that says “California.”

My kin can be some truly wicked individuals. Your kin too. Humbling. Unfortunate. But we can always beat them to feel a little better, in theory.
