Extra virgin olive oil is the golden liquid that comes purely from just one ingredient, olives.

Its touch is able to elevate any food by awakening its tasting notes. It is the perfume of any kitchen.
The best part, besides enhancing your food, is that it nourishes your body with all of the wonderful health properties that it has. It isn’t surprising that using natural products that come from the earth are probably the most natural way of taking care of yourself and your family.

This is something precious and super important when you take into consideration that your body is your recipient of life, and that you only have one. So, we all better take good care of it.

But, what happens when what you are putting in your body is not what you think?
What happens when what you think you are putting in your body has been adulterated, mixed with other things that you don’t even know? Or has gone bad in the process, losing the great properties?

This is the unfortunate reality of what happens to many oils in the USA OLIVE OIL MARKET.

The University of California Davis – Olive Oil Center conducted a study that showed:
That more than 69% of extra virgin olive oils in supermarkets were mislabeled and did not meet the legal standard under the law for being labeled as ‘Extra Virgin'.
