How To Obtain Certified EVOO

By Phyllis Schroeder


There are a number of olive oils that are sold at high prices, but are not genuine in its content. It can be difficult to find certified EVOO when there are so many brands to choose from. Yet there are ways to get the information needed so that the right decision can be made. Here are some things to consider when looking for the right oil to use.

The date on a bottle of olive oil should be checked to see how long it will last. Some brands do not have dates on them which is a sign that they might not be genuine. Some might say that the date is not important, but one has to remember that olive is quite perishable and should be used up in a few months if one wants to maintain freshness.

If an oil does not have a date on it, a consumer cannot tell if it has been there for weeks or months. There are also other factors to consider in addition to the date such as how the product was packaged. If the oil is in a dark bottle it will last long than in a clear bottle. Exposure to light, air, and heat affect how long an olive oil product lasts.

One should also be less concerned about the price since this does not guarantee a high-quality oil. There are many high priced oils that are not what people think they are. They might use a flag of a certain country to make people think that it is from that place when it might not be and use this as an excuse to demand a high price for the oil.

If a brand of oil stays on the shelf for too long, the quality becomes less over time. The most important thing to look for is the certification that the oil is genuine. This could be done by looking for a seal of approval from an organization that tests the oils, or for an ingredients list that shows the type of olives that have been used to make the oil.

When looking into the issue of which olive oils are genuine, it is important to know who did the research. There are many companies who finance the research into which oils are the real thing or not in order to promote their brands. However, this does not necessarily mean that they are selling genuine products. There are a few reasons why they would do this.

This does not mean that their oil is not legitimate, but it simply means that one should be aware of who is doing the testing and the research. If a consumer is knowledgeable about quality oils, they will know if the research is valid or not. It is also a good idea to stick with local brands or even local mills. This way, a person can know how olive oil is made and what to look for.

One should also consider the fact that just because olive oil was bottled in a country that is known for its olives, it does not mean that it is genuine. This is why tests are conducted to help consumers know which olive oil brands are the best. If a brand has been bought that one is not sure about, they can check with a reputable organization to know if they can trust the brand.
