IS YOUR OLIVE OIL EXTRA VIRGIN? OURS IS!
A 2015 investigation by the National Consumers League & The American Olive Oil Producers Association into olive oil mislabeling found six of eleven national brands had misrepresented quality grades to consumers. A separate, four-year audit of the category between 2015 and 2019 found half of all products available to consumers today failed to meet international quality standards.

MORE THAN 70% OF OLIVE OILS ARE MISLABELED IN GROCERY STORES!
According to reports https://money.com/fake-olive-oil-food-fraud/ , more than 70% of the extra-virgin olive oil sold in the U.S., almost all of it imported, is mislabeled. A bottle bearing the words “extra virgin olive oil,” which means fresh olives mechanically pressed without the use of chemicals, may not be the real deal. Instead, you may purchase something squeezed from the leftovers of making extra virgin, or oil extracted from rotting olives.
