It is hard. We have an olive grove so we have access to authentic olive oil, but it's hard. So hard that if you hire people to do it, they won't accept money as payment but will take part of your olive oil. Even the press people will not take money but olive oil.
The reason is simple: "olive oil" is way more valuable than what it's priced at, and it's priced the way it is because fraud caused its inflation. People in the know are aware that the price of a liter won't buy you a liter of authentic olive oil, so they'd much rather get the real stuff.
(That's like those who prefer getting paid in cocaine at the source where they know it's pure, because they know that even with money, you can't buy really pure cocaine elsewhere or it'll be way too expensive).
