Yes, many people do say that about Italian olive oil, but I have no first hand confirmation. I have also heard some professional testimonies that suggest mediocre practices at several points of the value chain that simply are not compatible with the final perceived quality. Which is weird, to say the least.

It's really nice that our olive oil is reaching small cities in Japan! And it shows that Spanish and Portuguese producers are making an effort to build brands abroad and to get known.
