The Truth About Extra Virgin Olive Oil – What Big Brands Won’t Tell You!

The Truth About Extra Virgin Olive Oil – What Big Brands Won’t Tell You!

Is Your Olive Oil Actually Real? Here’s How to Tell!

Did you know that up to 80% of “extra virgin” olive oils sold in supermarkets aren’t real? Many brands mix their oil with cheaper, low-quality oils, stripping it of its health benefits.

At Carthago Oil, we believe in real, high-quality Tunisian extra virgin olive oil—never blended, never refined.

How to Spot Fake Olive Oil

🚨 Red Flags of Fake Olive Oil:

  • No Harvest Date – Real EVOO should always list when it was produced.
  • Plastic Bottles – Light exposure degrades oil quality.
  • Mild or No Flavor – Authentic EVOO has a peppery kick due to its high-polyphenol content.

Real Olive Oil (Like Carthago Oil)

  • 100% first cold-pressed
  • Certified organic, high-polyphenol, non-GMO
  • Stored in dark glass bottles to prevent oxidation
  • Harvested & bottled directly from Tunisia

📌 Take the test! Grab your olive oil and see if it meets these standards. Or, skip the guesswork and shop Carthago Oil today!
