Well, that was in Hoboken. Maybe they're exempt from the global US olive oil market.
Just a few minutes ago I was in my local store. Of the three kinds for sale not one of them said anything about other oils besides olive oil in it or anything to imply it wasn't pure. Made a point to check based on your comment.
You have a good store, you're lucky. That's not my experience.
Yeah luck. Consistent luck repeatedly for multiple years. Makes perfect freaken sense.
Sorry your trip was ruined by a totally real and not fabricated bottle of olive oil that you found somehow someway.
It isn't a question of regulation it is market forces. Anyone willing to pay the extra for it is not going to be willing to pay the extra for 99% of it. Look check my profile if you don't believe me, I am a near daily baker and I use olive oil for nearly every loaf. Which means I pay more and I sure as shit not going to pay more for something fake when I can pay a few pennies more for the real deal. Never even once seen a cut olive oil for sale.
Also where did you even find it in Hoboken? That city is nothing but bars and apartment buildings. Sure it wasn't over the line in Jersey City?
