Italy cracks down on fake extra virgin olive oil

Original: olio

Italian authorities have seized more than 450 quintals of olive oil in Tuscany, including 82,000 euros' worth in the Siena area sold falsely as extra virgin, and raided a supermarket in Brescia over mislabelled oil, fish and meat. Coldiretti is calling for a 16-million-euro fund to distribute Italian oil to the needy plus tighter controls on traffickers, while farmers protest in Bari and press the agriculture ministry over the sector's crisis.

Why now: A wave of fraud seizures and farmer protests has put olive oil quality and the industry's economic troubles in the spotlight.
