The first step is to determine if you are in fact buying REAL olive oil. To determine authenticity of your EVOO, try this 2 step QA test:
Two Step Olive Oil Purity Test:
- Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil into a clean glass jar. Seal the jar.
- Put the jar in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- If the oil solidifies, it’s monounsaturated and is olive oil.
- If the oil remains a liquid, it is polyunsaturated and is NOT olive oil.
Choose high quality olive oil by verifying the following four authenticity indicators, as found in Acropolis Organics Bioharvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 1) monovarietal olives 2) chemical-free agriculture 3) verifiable harvest location 4) low acidity levels.
