Tag: Olive oil authenticity

Reports have suggested that nearly 70% of imported olive oils and 10% of domestic oils previously failed to meet extra virgin standards. Wegmans responded with rigorous measures to ensure its store-brand products, including Wegmans brand extra virgin olive oil, meet strict quality criteria and are indeed authentic. This review examines their commitment to real EVOO.

Reports have revealed that a large percentage of olive oils sold globally may be mislabeled or of compromised quality, with some blending cheaper oils with pure olive oil. For consumers who prioritize traceability, flavour, and quality, understanding how to verify a single-sourced product is essential to avoid potential fraud and get what they pay for.
