    How to Read an Olive Oil Label

    The most important elements on an olive oil label and what they mean.


    An olive oil label contains essential information to help make informed choices. Most important is the class designation — "Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva" is the highest quality.

    The origin designation shows where the olives come from. "100% Italiano" means all olives are of Italian origin. Single estate (monocultivar) oils are especially valuable.

    The harvest date is important — olive oil is best within the first 12-18 months. The "best before" date doesn't tell the whole story; harvest time is much more informative.
