http://www.international-olive-foundation.org/is to PROTECT THE INTERNATIONAL EXTRA VIRGIN STANDARD FOR OLIVE OIL. In 2016, the law bringing us the “EXTRA VIRGIN” standard celebrates its 50th birthday (regulation No 136/66/EEC of the Council of 22 September 1966). Unfortunately, as we all know, many of the olive oils that consumers buy today are far away from that – although they are labelled as “EXTRA VIRGIN”. IOF has been founded to protect the quality standard “Extra Virgin” (EU; Codes Alimentarius; Switzerland) as well as the consumers of olive oil. All over the world.
