@kibcol1049 I personally think that 90% of the people in North America who think they've tasted EVOO have never tasted anything better than a VOO at best, and likely not even that high a grade. Far more likely is that they bought OO at EVOO prices and for what they think is OO they likely got ROO instead.
For Europeans that's closer to 75%.
Olive oil has been faked for most of my life and then some.
