Council taking closer look at olive oil quality seals

Olive oil producers from California and Australia are among those invited to an International Olive Council (IOC) meeting next week focusing on quality seals and other strategies being used by countries to promote olive oil quality. Representatives of the QVExtra and Extra Virgin Alliance (EVA) associations – which the IOC said “seem to be the most advanced in this area” – are also expected to attend the meeting of its Advisory Committee on Olive Oil and Table Olives.
