Olive Oil Facts

• Never judge an olive oil from its color. Some may add false color to fool you.
• The best way to evaluate your olive oil is to smell and taste it. If it has a flavor and aroma that initiates positive emotions, then it is good.
• All olive oils come from a village, even those that are sold by companies – small or big! Buying olive oil from a respectable company, then you are sure of the quality and the truthfulness of the olive oil. Buying a container without any label, you can never be sure about its content, as no one officially bears the responsibility for it.
• The so called “Salad Oil” is not olive oil, but a combination of pomace oil, seed oils and olive oil.
