Real olive oil isn’t just expensive, it’s rare! But how do you know if you actually bought the real deal or just some cheap fake? A producer at a fair in Sremska Mitrovica reveals a simple yet genius trick: put the oil in the fridge! If it crystallizes and becomes thick like honey, that’s a sign it’s real, cold-pressed, and high quality.
Imagine olives from Dalmatia, from old trees of the Oblica and Krvavica varieties, giving the oil a unique fruity taste. This producer runs a modern oil mill but keeps the spirit of home tradition and authenticity alive. Small producers are the ones who preserve quality and the true value of olive oil, while mass production often loses that.
But why does this matter? Because the market is flooded with fake oils sold as the real thing, often blends or low-quality oils. Buyers are confused, and their health could be at risk. This fridge test is an easy way to avoid being scammed.
Imagine paying a premium price and getting something in the bottle that’s nowhere near what you expected! So next time you buy olive oil, remember this trick and check for yourself. And yes, if your oil doesn’t crystallize, maybe it’s time to question what you actually bought.
So, have you ever tried putting your olive oil in the fridge? Or just trusted the label? Share your experience — maybe together we’ll uncover more tricks or expose more scams on the market!
