Olive Oil from Istria Becomes EU Product with Protected Origin
Extra-virgin olive oil from Slovenian Istria became on Tuesday the first Slovenian agriculture product to be listed in the EU register of agricultural products and foodstuffs with protected geographical indications and designations of origin.
This year, 44 olive growers who met the required oil quality and traceability standards can use the label. Oils containing at least 30% of olives of the “Istrska belica” sort can be labelled as products with protected designation of origin.
The label also requires specific chemical and taste parameters, as well as growing, pressing and storage procedures.

New golden oil is testing farmers’ marketing skills
By David Cousins,
It’s tempting – but maybe a bit premature – to say that the reign of olive oil as the king of culinary oils is drawing to a close.
We Britons buy £104m-worth of it every year, according to market research company Mintel, and sales are still climbing. In fact the value of olive oil sales now outpaces that of any other cooking oil.
And there’s no denying that olive oil is a marketing man’s dream recipe. Take a few sun-drenched images of gorgeous Tuscan countryside, stir in some mouth-watering health benefits, add palate-tickling taste and you have a dish the British middle classes can’t resist.
But an as-yet tiny contender has come from nowhere to challenge the dominance of olive oil. It’s cold-pressed rapeseed oil, made from home-grown oilseed rape, and it’s quietly appearing on the shelves of farm shops, delicatessens and supermarkets around the country.

Olive Oils Taste Test
Check out the supermarket aisle for olive oils, and you’ll be dazzled by dozens of drizzlers. So the Good Housekeeping Food Kitchen pros ran a blind taste test of 12 brands to find the best. The message: All extra virgin olive oils are not created equal.
“Recently, we tasted a lot of extra virgin olive oils available at the supermarket, and we found lots of variety within prices from $.22 an ounce to $1.47 an ounce,” says Susan Westmoreland, Food Director, Good Housekeeping. “And we also found a wide variety in flavor profile, from mild, something that could be used for all-purpose, to something that was strong and robust that might overpower milder foods, but would be great as a drizzle on a salad or for dipping.”
