I don’t trust olive oil today. I don’t know which ones are the real ones because they’re all claiming to be the real thing. I look for the ones in the dark bottles that are extra virgin, cold pressed etc. But still not convinced.

Apparently olive oil is notorious for counterfeit products. So I would say as long as it is 100% olive oil, then think the company for their honesty

0% is just the minimum amount. Ensuring there is a percentage of California olive oil in every bottle. 0% is a percentage, right?

I don’t believe the extra virgin part either.

They unvirgined your olive oil

Well that happens when a brand is named after a place.

It says California Olive Ranch. They make California olive oil but they also have a global blend. Labels very clear.
papasan_mamasan on
This is their global blend, which sources oil from other countries.
They still have the single source California line, but it’s more expensive. The global blend was introduced to sell more oil at a lower price point.

This shit again. It’s a brand name. But they clarify where that particular bottle got its oil from. Not that difficult to understand. Do you know that not every BMW is built in Bavaria, Germany?
eastbayted on
It has a *minimum* of 0% – so it could be anything up to 100%.
Still weird.

They make the global blend and a 100% California grown olive oil. You got the wrong one
cmmatthews on
this brand does make 100% california EVOO. Sometimes you can get it at Costco.
mjh215 on
This brand is pretty clear in their labeling, I typically buy from them. I’m not sure but years back when there was a blight in California olives they had to switch a lot of their products to globally sourced but they don’t try to hide which is which at all. Their 100% California ones cost more, of course.
Just editing to add, when you see them on the shelves, it is even more obvious which is which.

Well, i wouldn’t call it virgin oil if it’s slightly F’ed like that, js…

California Olive Ranch does source olives from other countries like Argentina, Chile and Portugal and they state that on the bottles. This is not a secret. This bottle of olive oil simply was not made from California olives but was still bottled by California Olive Ranch.

It is a transparency label but assures global sources are 100% organic and high quality. It is their own little silly pun but for good reason. Make sense?

See this would put me off buying it more than if they’d never said anything about where it was from.

There are 2 …. one international, one CA only.
I found the CA oil quite grassy and not my style.
California Olive Ranch is the company name.

I usually love the Costco-sold organic California olive oil (not Kirkland) but I decided to try a Tunisian olive oil that’s half the price to compare. Also tried the Graza stuff in the squeeze bottle and it has. Avery different flavor profile. So what I’m trying to say is, give it a shot and see if you like it — different regions produce different flavors.

Then don’t buy it. Vote with your wallet.

Considering the amount of fraudulent olive oil that’s is not EVOO or high quality oils and in some cases not even olive oil all together, at least this label is attempting to be truthful.

There’s *at least* 0% California oil. It could be 100%!
JPGentry on
It does say the it was made with a MINIMUM of 0% California olive oil. So it could be more
Moominsean on
Well, it does say a minimum of, so it has no less than 0%. Which makes no sense, or course, but it could also contain 100% California olive oil. You just don’t know how much is actually in it.

My mom is allergic to soy and you’d be shocked how many restaurants think they’re using 100% olive oil when it’s called “Extra Virgin Olive Oil”.
Usually it’s 60% soybean oil and 40% olive oil. My mom can’t eat out most places these days.
Many fried things are fried in soybean oils too.

I quite like their 100% California olive oil. It’s my daily driver. Often on discount at my grocery store

Honey and olive oil are the kinds of things were if you don’t pay a lot for it it’s probably totally fake, and even if you do, it’s likey still or at least cut with something else..

Once upon a time, California Olive Ranch (CoR) made California Olive Oil. Then there was a massive crop failure (around 2018?). They switched to non-California oil much to the chagrin of their customers. It was a temporary measure until the California crop recovered. Turns out, the new oil was a big hit. When the California crop recovered, they had a very strong product on their hands, so they reintroduced the California oil (now more expensive), which has also been successful. They’ve changed their labels at least 3 times to help with clarity, but it’s all good oil.
onetwentyeight on
It says with a MINIMUM of 0% California olive oil. It’s a blend of international oils like other people are pointing out. But also it MAY contain up to 100% pure California oil but may also contain none. It’s a crapshoot because it’s a blend and likely that blend is decided by import prices from various countries.

If I’m understanding Vermont’s Origin Rule…California needs one of it’s own. [https://www.drm.com/resources/fblb/looking-back-the-vermont-origin-rule/](https://www.drm.com/resources/fblb/looking-back-the-vermont-origin-rule/)

Probably counterfeit olive oil anyway.
It says it on the label you karma farming whore.

A link to my original comment. https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/sQl5D6xmtJ
This was my go to olive oil for a while. Then I switched to terra delyssa and recently graza.
I found them all of good quality. I think Graza is my favorite for cooking but perhaps the nice bottle has fooled me!
What’s the consensus?
