스페인 올리브유 인사이트

Olimerca.- For another year, and now in its sixth edition, the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has just released a new analysis of 23 widely consumed oils analyzed and which for the first time meet the requirements to be classified as extra virgin and are of good quality, some are even excellent. In this latest analysis of 23 products, all have proven to be quality extra virgin, unlike previous comparative studies (carried out in 2007, 2012, 2018 and 2021) in which the existence of fraud in several oils that did not meet the requirements of the extra commercial category was reported. The tests to which the extra virgin olive oils have been subjected have not changed with respect to the studies of previous years. Firstly, in a specialized laboratory it has been verified that all the products are oils made from olives and that there is no mixture of sunflower seeds or other oils, not even refined olive oils.

Global olive oil production is expected to grow by 32% in 2024-2025, according to forecasts from the International Olive Council.
