Default Re: Olive Oil - Buyer Beware!

Any report on those Spanish scams yet???

Sorry, but this is nothing new. Italian olive oil has had the marketing name cornered but the supply was suspect. I understand that Spain is the largest producer of olive oil and the Italians have been importing and labeling it for years.

The bigger problem is that there is now such a high demand for olive oil that it is increasingly being blended with other oils.

So, yes, buyer beware! (but save the best stuff for the salads!)

And olive oil is like wine, there are so many different types that you can do tastings!
