Olive Oil - Did you know that Australia is one of the few countries which has a set standard for Olive oil?

Yes sadly many overseas brands of olive oil have all sorts of additives or alternative oils mixed in. The import industry for oils is an absolute disgrace and should be thoroughly investigated. As a consequence, like a number of the other respondents, I only buy Australian made olive oil. It's better to be supporting our local economy anyway.

Yes I knew that, I heard an interview on the ABC one day and they explained how modern the Australian Olive oil industry is and their very advanced production methods.I have only ever bought Australian olive oil ever since.

I was only thinking last night in bed, does Australia have a set standard for olive oil, it kept me awake for most of the night.

I buy locally made olive oil from the lady who sells it at the farmers markets. She has an olive grove somewhere around here, and it's fantastic oil.

When it comes to Olive Oil, specially extra virgin, I make sure I buy the real thing Lakegirl, I enjoy cooking.

I am an avid label checker. The thing to watch out for with olive oil is the production year, not all brands show it.

Yes we have very High standards concerning Food

I just answered this somewhere else,did you ask it twice? I am not surprised as we have very good standards here in Australia.

I didn't know that, and that's definitely a good thing. I try to have one tablespoon of it a day for heart health.

No I didn't , but thanks for provided me this information for free of charge and free of my time on doing the research! I love this oil on many kinds of doing! :)
