AmazonFresh Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a blend—not a single-origin olive oil—which is why some customers question its purity. According to reviews, it contains olives sourced from multiple countries (Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Tunisia), though it's pressed and bottled in Italy.Customers note a few concerns:
• It's a blend, not 100% Italian olives—so it's not single-origin extra virgin oil
• No IOOC certification—unlike premium brands, it doesn't carry the International Olive Oil Council seal that verifies authenticity
• Mixed opinions on quality—while most customers praise the taste and value, some describe it as "not pure" compared to premium extra virgin options
That said, customers generally find it tastes like authentic olive oil and performs well for cooking and everyday use. The main distinction is that it's a quality blend at a budget-friendly price, not a premium certified extra virgin oil.

Few years ago, UC Davis tested a bunch of Avocado oils on the market and found that only 30% were pure avocado oil. 70% were mixed with something else, and a few of them contained no avocado at all.
In the US, labeling and certification is basically a self-serve kind of a deal. Manufacturers certify themselves and if they get caught falsifying, they get sued by someone (sometimes the FDA sues them). But overall pretty lax when it comes to protecting the consumer.
European countries take their olive oil far more seriously.
