Spain's largest olive oil cooperative, Dcoop, has been accused of selling blends of rapeseed oil and olive oil in the United States under its Pompeian brand.
Dcoop, Spain's largest Olive oil cooperative, and distributors of the Pompeian brand of Olive Oils in the U.S., was accused in 2018 of using less than 1% Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the bottlles labeled as blended Canola and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. https://www.oliveoiltimes.com/bus...ling/64058
Blended oil may not list the percentages of each oils in their contents. Likewise, oils which are labeled as Extra Virgin but from different sources will not list percentages from the different sources, but if it is labeled as 100% Organic and Extra Virgin with certification from the the North American Olive Oil Association and USDA Organic, then you have a little more guarantee that the oil is being monitored by independent regulators.
However, another issue is the quality of the Extra Virgin Olive oil, even if authentic. A critical issue is whether the oil is recently harvested and from good quality olives. The Pompeian Extra Virgin Organic Oil in this deal has a "Best By" date rather than a harvest date. Some have reported receiving bottles with a best by date around January 2027.
However this doesn't tell the consumer when the olives in the bottle were harvested and pressed. It is generally recommended that for best flavor, extra virgin olive oil be used within a year of when it was harvested and pressed.

This is very old news using a 2011 study and 2018 article. It's NOAAC certified.
America's Test Kitchen did a taste testing of supermarket olive oils last year, which surprised them as the results were different from previous years' tests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUQMahmo3BA

Expanding on ATK's review, it was Pompeian Smooth olive oil that rated well in their tasting, and the general conclusion from the whole tasting was that age (i.e. time since harvest) was extremely important.
Has multiple countries of origin which means it is a blend mixed with about anything. Good olive oil will only have one country of origin and in most cases will be in a glass bottle.

Multiple countries of origin is not a disqualifier that the extra virgin olive oil is bad, nor is olive oil from just one country in a glass bottle a guarantee that the olive oil is good. Just like with wine: having a blend of different grapes from different regions does not make the wine bad.
Many good quality Extra Virgin Olive Oils come from certified sources in different regions. You need to have someone or some reputable organization verify the sources. Some better quality Extra Virgin Olive Oils will have links on the bottle where you can trace the source of the olives.
If you want just olives from a single orchard or country, you can find those as well. They may not taste significantly better than EVOO from multiple countries, but you may want to reserve the much higher-priced single source EVOO that has more pronounced taste for the appropriate food usage: drizzling as a finishing touch on food, e.g..
Some may reserve other, milder EVOO for cooking usage, where a stronger taste is less necessary.
What does this mean? Their FAQ explains their certified seal program:
Quote
:
Participants in the NAOOA Certified Seal program must agree to have us randomly test their products regularly and repeatedly (at least 2x per year). We sample from store shelves and submit the samples to certified independent laboratories. The oils are tested to ensure that they meet or exceed the physico-chemical standards set by the International Olive Council (IOC) to ascertain purity and quality. Participants pay a fee to participate in the program (to cover the cost of testing and overhead expenses) and license the NAOOA Certified Seal for use on their packaging. It does not mean that we test every bottle or even every lot. However, the penalty for getting caught is severe. If we can confirm that a product we have tested is not authentic, the company is required to conduct a recall of the licensed products from all stores across North America.
To be USDA Organic, these are the qualifications:
Quote
:
USDA organic means a product has been produced and handled according to federal guidelines that require the use of methods promoting ecological balance, soil quality, and biodiversity, while strictly limiting synthetic inputs. This includes crops grown without most synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or GMOs, and livestock raised with access to the outdoors, fed 100% organic feed, and not given antibiotics or growth hormones. Foods must be certified by a USDA-accredited agent to be labeled "USDA Organic"
The Pompeian Organic Robust EVOO comes from several countries, such as Argentina, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey. Some SDers have posted "Best By" dates of recent bottles sent by Amazon of January 2027. This is NOT a harvest date. But, it could correspond to a harvest from last Fall (maybe a January 2025 pressing), or maybe a harvest from mid-year from Argentina--but there is no indication on the bottles.
Ideally, you would prefer an Organic EVOO from a local, single source orchard, from this fall's harvest. Expect that to cost 3-4+x the price, though.
For general usage, in place of using generic Canola/Corn/Soy oil that costs maybe half as much as this, using this Organic EVOO is a good value.
