Olive oil is used to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease. These are slightly costlier than common cooking oil. This is the reason why adulteration is being done indiscriminately in our country to sell these oils cheaply.

To identify real-fake Olive Oil, first of all, look at its color. The color of olive oil is light, but if you find it more yellow and thick or white, then understand that it has been adulterated. On the other hand, also look at the packing.

Buy olive oil packed in glass or dark plastic bottles only. If it is being sold in transparent packing, then understand that it is bad. Buy only olive oil rich in antioxidants but do not make the mistake of buying pomace-grade olive oil available in the market.
