You know Costco isn't squeezing the olives themselves? There's a lot of fake olive oil out there. They just blend in some vegetable oil or something.

normies have hard time understanding that major US companies are part of the problem because they "trust the brand" lol

they buy goyslop grade product, prolly less than 50% refined olive oil blended with some cheap shite, all of it extracted with heavy chemical processing.

it is fine for cooking, whatever, but i is hardly "olive oil" lol

even if it is labeled as such, it aint. math don't work.
