When i was living in the US because i had to for work none of their olive oil tasted like olive oil. Turns out there was a study that showed that 80% of supermarket olive oil in the US is fake.
Yeah their products are shoddy. You do not sell fake olive oil to a European.
I mean, my italian friend was telling me how this is also done in Italy. He watched a documentary, and they were mixing olive and colza. So nothing really new. But the new deregulation of the government is worrying.
What I remember was how sweet their may was , yuk.
Yeah, “impure” olive oil is not endemic to America. Adulterating olive oil is big business and Europe isn’t immune. (Though Europe has laws on the subject that the US does not.)

Olive pil wasn’t a thing on the states until the 80’s. We get all the shittiest olive oil that is produced in the Mediterranean because they can sell their inferior products at a markup here.
