Not all olive oil is created equal â and some bottles on the shelf are scarier than a haunted house. From mysterious âProduct ofâ labels that hide ghostly blends, to dusty bottles that have been lurking under harsh grocery store lights, there are plenty of olive oil tricks out there that leave you with flat, flavorless oil instead of the golden, nourishing treat you deserve.
Luckily, Brightland is here to bust the myths, banish the bad stuff, and keep your kitchen safe from these spooky olive oil red flags. đ«âš
3 Olive Oil Red Flags (and How Brightland Avoids Them)
Â
1. Not Extra Virgin
If the label doesnât say extra virgin, skip it â even for cooking. Regular âolive oilâ or âlight olive oilâ is refined and stripped of flavor and nutrients.
â Brightland is always 100% extra virgin olive oil, crafted for both cooking and finishing.
2. Mysterious âProduct ofâ Labels
Bottles that say âProduct of Italy/Spain/Greeceâ without clear harvest info often hide blends of low-quality oils from multiple regions.
â Brightland oils are fully traceable, with harvest dates and region clearly labeled.
3. Dusty Bottles on the Shelf
Olive oil deteriorates quickly in light and heat. Clear bottles under fluorescent grocery lights = flat, rancid oil.
â Brightland uses UV-protected glass and small-batch bottling to keep oils vibrant, nutrient-rich, and truly fresh.
