A lot of Italian olive oil isnt from olives. There was a huge scandal a few years ago of local producers adulterating olive oil (right around the time the dioxin laced mozzarella happened) Thats why I buy Californian or Greek olive oil. Not that I trust Greeks more than any other European, but their very good stuff is so good its obviously olive oil.
