Tracing olive oil to its origins

You want to believe the olive oil you drizzle over your salad is truly delivering beneficial monounsaturated fats. But unfortunately, many bottles of EVOO on store shelves contain far less olive oil than you’d imagine—commonly, a small amount of olive oil is mixed with cheaper, less healthful oils and added colorants.

The creators of Bellucci Extra Virgin Olive Oil are bringing more transparency to a food category rippled with fraud. The label on every bottle lists the harvest date, as well as the types of olives picked, pressed and bottled by a co-op of Italian growers. What’s more, you can trace your bottle to its harvest region in rural Italy by typing in your bottle’s lot number on the company’s website.
