Made of cheap oils that don't have the health benefits of olive oil.


How is that possible -- the ingredients are lies??


Yes actually. Honey also has this issue. They remove all the pollen and good things from honey to distort it's origin.

It's hard. You can go by taste, if you are an expert. Other that that it's tricky, which is why this is such an insidious problem

Sure, but then buy canola oil for a fraction of the price.

Not a Trader Joe's thing, it's everywhere. Whole Foods, Safeway, Balducci's. It's extremely hard to get good olive oil in the US.
