Labels must have:
HARVEST Date (not just an expiration)
Origin
must be in a dark glass or a metal container (not plastic)
pressed without heating
Interesting. The bottle of EVOO I got at Aldi’s seems to check all the boxes:
Bottled in Italy (label says Sicily)
DOP label
Dark glass bottle with warnings about light exposure
Has harvest date
And priced very nicely.
