Content: Nearly 70% of all European olive oils are falsely labeled. Usually they are labeled "extra virgin" but are not, and they are very often mostly hazelnut, peanut, or safflower oils with a drop of olive oil to give a hint of olive taste. Italians use a lot of olive oil and Italy doesn't actually produce enough olive oil to satisfy Italian demand. Even so, Italy is able to export way more oil than the country actually produces. This means that a huge amount of "Italian" olive oils are actually from other countries, most likely Eastern Europe where sanitation standards are appallingly low in most olive presses.
