Most extra virgin olive oil actually fake or adulterated...

[Guest guest]

Article and the astonishing pervasiveness of fake or tainted olive oils being

sold as " extra virgin "

I'm sure many of you will have seen this circulating on facebook and blogs, but

it is really a must read for everybody. The article claimed that not one of

australia's imported olive oils has been granted " certified extra virgin " status

this year. That means ALL of the olive oils submitted for testing were either

not olive oil, or contained contaminants, or refined oils. In other words, the

chances are that the olive oil you have in your house right now, if you bought

it through the most common channels, is fake or adulterated. 70%+ is what the

article is claiming for the US if I'm understanding correctly, and apparently

it's the mob that is heading this practice and also the recipient of your money!

Enjoy! And have a wonderful day!
