Can you trust just any olive oil website?
When we have a question or are simply trying to gather information on something in particular, 99% of the time we will jump right onto Google rather than going directly to accredited site that might be able to give us the information we need from the get go.
Currently, there are thousands of olive oil websites out there and due to olive oil's increasing popularity in the last decade, the number is rapidly increasing. Some of these olive oil websites are larger, well-known olive oil giants that you can find pretty much at any grocery store country-wide (i.e. Bertolli, Colavita, etc) but most are smaller artisan producers from every corner of the globe...all very different olive oils...some sites which allow you to buy directly from them online. Without being able to request a sample and actually tasting the olive oil from one of these small family estate olive oil websites, it is very difficult to tell what the olive oil is really going to taste like...unless of course you've had it before!
The point I am trying to make on this post is that you must always remain skeptical of what you read and what facts, pictures, stories are being presented to you and if these olive oil websites are real and not just a false face of what they want you to think they are. Contact the producers with any questions and find out if they offer samples of their oil before buying. There's never any harm in asking!
