Italy confiscates fake olive oil

The BBC reports that Italian police have arrested 25 people in the south of the country suspected of selling adulterated vegetable oil as extra virgin olive oil. Sunflower oil was apparently mixed with chlorophyll and beta-carotene to give it olive oil's characteristic colour.  More here at the BBC.

Desgraciadamente, son ya muchas las veces que ocurre esto en Italia.
Sinceramente, estan terminando con todo lo que hace años, tantas alegrias le dio y tan bien supieron posicionar.
Felicitar a la policia y espero que persigan a otros muchos que aun siguen practicando, en menor medida, fraudes mezclando semillas con Aceite de Oliva.
Un saludo

[Ed with google translation: Unfortunately, many times already that this happens in Italy.
Frankly, being finalized with all that years ago, many alegrias gave him and knew so well positioned.
To congratulate the police and I hope to pursue many others who are still practicing, to a lesser extent, fraud mixing seed with Olive Oil.
A greeting]
