olive oil comes from whoever provides you with it. In canada I use Sysco.

Getting californian oil is probably more expensive than getting Italian in the UK. We've also got reasonable consumer protection, so you can be a bit more sure that it's okay (until we leave the EU and join the free for all on labelling).

Still though, there is the same issue at play- the brands themselves can be fine, but if their suppliers are shifty then all bets are off for that batch. Best thing to do is just taste it.

sage advice.
