Disappointing news about supposedly "healthy" olive oil.
The 14 Fake Olive Oil Companies Are Revealed Now ? Avoid These Brands
I have used some of the fake products.
I'll be using the refrigerator test on my current supply.
This actually is misinformation. It isn't that the brands are 'fake'. It's that the when tested, the labels that claimed 'extra virgin' did not meet the criteria for being labled 'extra virgin'. The refrigerator test is bogus also. Quite often, producers will filter out the wax from the olive oil, so that perfectly good olive oil will not pass the test, and other ones that were 'fake' had some small amounts of olive oil in there, and passed the test. SO, that test is totally unreliable.
