Industry olive oil full of fraud
My grandmother, was born in the Olympic mountains, Greece, used to say that the people of the Mediterranean region, the olive oil in their veins. In theory, it was not bad, the Mediterranean regime arises as one third of their calories from olive oil.My grandmother has bought the olive oil directly from the source - their local mill - and it was only two possibilities: Virgin for cooking oil and refined oil for lamps. We Yanks, on the other hand, are behind our local grocery, where we have to decide between extra virgin, Virgin, pure, light and pomace olive. In addition, we are always concerned about the freshness of oil and that marketing messages and health information on the bottle are true. Take the wrong decision and a good intention, a bad choice - and not only for your bag of palaces and money, but also for your health.
If you wish, that the healthiest Extra virgin olive oil, seen on labels and logos, and ignore the Hype “cold” types of oil. Instead, read the fine print, then select the date of bottling, acidity and production in the region (see box on page 49). This assures you that you get what you pay.
