I wrote a very handy guide for people to recognize fake olive oils but i'll repeat the essentials
to tell the difference between the fakers and the genuine oil you need to look for three things
first off is the olive cultivar, if its genuine olive oil they'll tell you the cultivar, in greece the most common cultivar is Koroneiki, in spain it could be Arbequina (South Spain) or Arbosana (North Spain)
there is a shitton of cultivars but i'm just naming the popular ones
Second off is the acidity, true virgin olive oil has low acidity rating (usually below 0.5%, the best quality are 0.3% and lower)
third off place of harvest and DATE of harvest
real olive oil would state where the olive was harvested and WHEN in ADDITION to the expiration date
forth and this is common sense: genuine olive oil isn't cheap, if you're seeing suspiciously cheap olive oil in the supermarket its either diluted or fake olive oil, or like the filthy (((dagos))) in Italy sourced cheaply and processed crudely (not true virgin olive oil)
