Simply put, our products are “real” and of the highest quality in the world.
All grades of olive oil imported into the United States are not regulated by the FDA. The vast majority of these products are adulterated and/or intentionally mislabeled. Consistent independent testing has revealed the vast majority of imported olive oil labeled and sold in the USA as “Extra Virgin” is fake – consisting of mostly cheap seed or Canola oil. Industrial grade chlorophyll and other chemicals are then added to these impostors which provide coloring and grassy flavors. Powerful International lobby groups participate in deceptive practices and the adulteration of olive oil is rampant worldwide.
Nearly all extra virgin olive oil sold in the USA is either completely fake and/or is of a subpar quality referred to in Europe as ‘lampante’ or ‘lamp oil’…which is not fit for human consumption.
Our ultra-premium extra virgin olive oils are literally the freshest and finest in the world. Our UP (Ultra-Premium) certification is more stringent than USDA Organic. Fresh Harvest seeks out high biophenol olive oil from our supplier which provides some of the highest level of phenol antioxidants available in the world.
