You may see dozens of olive oil options on the shelf.
But how do you know which one is really worth it?

What you will learn

• The main selection criteria
• The most common “mistakes” of consumers
• How to buy smartly

1. Look at the category

Prefer:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2. Check the acidity

The lower, the better the quality.

3. Pay attention to the date

Prefer recent production.

4. Packaging

Ideally:

• dark glass
• stainless steel container

Avoid transparent plastics.

5. Origin

Choose products with a clear origin.
Crete is one of the world’s leading production areas.

6. Taste and aroma

A good olive oil:

• has fruity aromas
• leaves a slight bitterness

7. Don’t choose based on price alone

Very cheap olive oil usually means low quality.
