For those that are interested in buying authentic EVOO
just found this site: http://bit.ly/yYrgvE
How to get real olive oil
Avoid Light olive oil at all costs. This is the lowest quality olive oil on the plant.
If you can find oils with the International Olive Oil Council certification, go for those.
Buy Californian olive oils, which are far less adulterated than imported oil.
Do your homework. Find a reputable company or source and buy small bottles from them.
