1. Origin:
Olive oil is primarily produced in the Mediterranean region, with Italy, Spain, and Greece being the most common sources found in Hong Kong. You can determine the origin of olive oil by checking the first three digits of the international code on the bottle:
Italy: 800 to 839
Spain: 840 to 849
Greece: 520
DIVO olive oil has an international code starting with 800, indicating its origin in Italy.
2. Color:
Many people judge the quality of olive oil based on its color. However, the color of olive oil can vary depending on factors such as the environmental climate of the production region and the variety of olives used. Therefore, it is not reliable to assess the quality of olive oil solely based on its color.
3. Bottle design:
When purchasing olive oil, it is important to pay attention to the material of the bottle. It is preferable to choose olive oil packaged in glass or stainless steel containers. For glass bottles, darker and less transparent colors are better, as light can affect the quality of olive oil, similar to wine. DIVO olive oil is packaged in dark-colored bottles to help maintain its optimal quality.
