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.

Yet, many times it is the lower priced oils that are just as good if not better. One has to consider if the oil has been tested which means there will be some form of certification on the bottle. This is the only way a high priced oil is worth the money. One should also keep in mind that if a particular brand is not selling, it is probably not the best.

There is also research that has been done on the best olive oil brands and those that are genuine. Many times this type of research is funded in part by companies who produce olive oils. One reason they do this is due to other companies that are not producing real olive oil and so they want to be sure that consumers know what they are getting.

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.

These are just a few things to keep in mind when looking for genuine extra-virgin olive oil. It is important to read the labels so that one will know what they are getting. Also, some research can be done on the various types of oils and their tastes and colors so that one will be acquainted with how a particular oil should be.
