Fake Olive Oil Companies Revealed – Stop Buying These Brands Now!
This is disturbing! 70% of Olive oil available in stores in the US has actually been cut with cheaper, nastier oils – meaning its fake!
There’s an enemy at the gates, it has been slowly infiltrating our olive oil market and corrupting one of the products that we all know is a healthy, sustainable option and one of Europe’s secrets to longevity.That’s right, 7 of the biggest olive oil manufacturers in the US have been cutting their products with cheaper, inferior oils (such as sunflower oil or canola oil) in order to minimise the cost of production, but it has come at a huge cost to everyone who invests in this healthy alternative.
All of these scams prompted the University of California to carry out studies on 124 imported brands of extra virgin olive oil, and they found that over 70% of the samples failed the test.
The brands that failed the test:
- Pompeian
- Bertolli
- Colavita
- Star
- Sasso
- Antica Badia
- Primadonna
- Carapelli
- Mazola
- Felippo Berio
- Safeway
- Whole Foods
- Carapelli
- Coricelli
- Mezzetta
The guys that passed the test and can be trusted:
- Corto Olive
- Ottavio
- Omaggio
- Bariani Olive Oil
- Lucini
- Kirkland Organic
- Lucero
- Olea Estates
- McEvoy Ranch Organic
- Cobram Estate
