Olive oil traceability
The Agricultural Ministry here in Rome has created a decree obliging bottles of extra virgin olive oil and virgin olive oil produced in Italy to declare where their olives came from.
A sort of olive oil identity card.
All you have to to is read the label to make sure the olives in your bottle of Italian olive oil don't come from Spain, Greece or Tunisia.
The website of the Consorzio dell'Olio Toscano is putting online such information regarding Tuscany's 70,000 olive oil producers.
