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.

Most products have a date that shows how long a person has to use them. This is something that should also be looked for when buying olive oils. If a particular brand or a group of brands does not have a date on them, then one should question the type of oil they are getting. The main reason for checking this is that olive oil is perishable.

It is also good if the date the oil was prepared and packaged is also on the bottle. This will show the consumer how much time they have to use the product before it gets rancid. There are a number of things that affect the longevity of the oil like contact with air, the color of the bottle, and where it is stored so these should also be taken into consideration.

There is also the issue of pricing because some believe that the higher the price of the oil, the better it is. This is not necessarily true and one should be careful not mistake the price for the quality. There are a number of lower priced oils that are just as good or even better than the more expensive ones on the shelf.

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.

One should also consider looking at research into the type of oils that are real and who is doing the research. There are many companies all over the world who are competing against each other, but not all of them produce genuine olive oil. When research is done, it is usually funded in part by a company that is trying to validate their business.

One of the main reasons is that they are competing with other companies from around the world. So if a brand from another country has a brand that people love, this could cause them to lose business. So the research is done against brands from other countries to convince others that they should stick to local brands which in turn means more money for local companies.

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.
