Getting the good oil on ‘best’ European imports

Congratulations to Fair Go this week for a thorough, no-nonsense comparison of New Zealand extra virgin olive oil and the so-called European extra virgin olive oils sold in supermarkets, says Herald columnist Paul Holmes, who also declares his interest as a New Zealand producer of extra virgin olive oil.
The program sent 14 extra virgin olive oils bought at 14 supermarkets off to Australia for testing. The entire seven randomly-chosen European oils all failed to pass the extra virgin test.
