Eating fake olive oil

I just wanted to share this quick article about fake olive oils. I have been wondering why there is a huge price gap between brands. I thought it might just be quality,or source, or how some companies can just price lower due to labor or material costs. Well it turns out some are just darn fake.

Worse, is that some of them are mixed with canola oil-so if you thought you were going olive oil to avoid GMOs well you just got sapped with jugs of it. Below is a list of companies which were tested by the University of California, ours is on the fake list and we are going to fix that.

FAILED: A quick list of olive oils that have crap mixed in them are:

  • Pompeian

  • Primadonna
  • Carapelli
  • Mazola
  • Felippo Berio
  • Safeway
  • Whole Foods

Its like being back in the Roman times where they began altering the size and content of the Denarius (an ancient Roman silver coin, originally worth ten asses).
