How To Get 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 it is on a shelf for too long it could go rancid. In addition, one has to consider how the oil was bottled which can also affect how long the oil lasts. If the bottle is clear as opposed to dark, the light going through the clear bottle could shorten the shelf life of the oil. If it is stored in a place that is too hot this also affects the quality.

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.

There are many olive oils that are at the lower price range which are just as good as those listed at a higher price. It is usually these types of oils that used the most, which means that the expensive oils left on the shelves will not be as fresh. One can also check to see which brands are more popular than others even by well-known chefs.

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.

It is important to understand the competition that is out there so that one can make their own decisions on what is right for them. There are organizations that assist in this process by testing olive oils to make sure that they are genuine. By placing their seal of approval on various brands, one can be sure that they are not wasting their money.

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.
