The government should be testing this (these agencies are flooded with money and give us little in return) and holding the companies liable.

Bookmark!

I’ve noticed sometimes EVOO doesn’t taste so great. But why does it have to be imported?

Yeah. That’s the ticket.

I know little about olive oil and I have never purchased a bottle from him but I understand a Canadian named Frank Giustra sells his own olive oil.

High quality, but expensive.

Full disclosure: As far as I know he is an honest businessman. However, his businesses really took off after becoming buddies with Bill Clinton in the early 1990s.

I love olive oil. And for years I only bought ‘California Olive Ranch’, a trusted brand. But now they call it Global Blend, and it’s only 10% California. So who knows?

Yes, you still can buy the pure California stuff, but it’s really expensive. I don’t know who to blame for that, Biden or Newsom. It’s probably both.

I think you either have to buy domestic or Spanish olive oil.

$90 for a gallon of it- that’s almost as expensive as gasoline is gonna be

Old joke

“My wife told me to buy her an extra expensive gift for her birthday this year, so I bought her a gallon of gasoline”

Their primary ‘mission’ is to protect and grow the bureaucratic hive. Its all about power and empire building.

Here’s how to spot a quality olive oil, straight from the lips of a true Italian:

But they don't you in this article...

start voting with their wallets

That's exactly how the market economy free from gov't interference works. The voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers in the marketplace free from gov't interference. Sooner or later inferior quality brands and/or too-high priced brands will lose to better quality and better prices. Why? because of consumer self interest.

Consumer self interest is what runs the show in the free market economy and is why gov't command and control economy loses EVERY TIME. Gov't couldn't' care less about your interests but YOU care greatly about your interests.

Its pretty smooth oil and although a blend, it seems to have a consistent quality. And the price is reasonable.
