There are industry approved labels that try to authenticate where olive oil comes from. Yes I know it is the companies regulating themselves but their incentive is to try to sell an authentic food product and trace and track where a bottle of olive oil comes from. A bit like how they sell and market wine.
Only problem is that once you can find an authentic bottle of olive oil … it’s $25 for a litre of olive oil from Morocco or Tunisia! … and higher prices if you want something that is actually bottled and comes from one producer or farm in Spain or Italy.

25 per liter is what the proper oil from Italy or Greece costs.
You can get them 3l tins for like 60 cheapest now. Used to be 45usd.
People need to accept that’s how much real shit costs, if you are paying less, it is not 100% olive oil lol
Table oil ain’t cheap… That first squeeze!
That’s for verifying the origins of the oil. What if I just want to know if it’s olive oil and not cut with something cheaper?
