Despite UK stating they champion good food standards compared to USA, the evidence does not support this with Olive oil

Seems that virgin olive oil is one of the biggest cons going.

IF you need olive oil just get the one you like and can afford.
 
As someone who used to live in Italy, I’d never buy olive oil with the word “virgin” in it. Probably wouldn’t spend less than 25 quid on a bottle either.
 
On a similar note, i think I'm right in saying that most inexpensive balsamic vinegar is not balsamic vinegar at all.
 
I always go for the first pressing, I mean, why wait til everyone else has had their fun with the olives.
