<pre>Dear Brian Chatterton,
According to my knowledge and the last studies on the
health qualities of olive oil, what's mainly count are
the qualities of the oil (organoleptic - no negative
attributes, acidity and peroxide) and not the
Geographical conditions and varieties.
Can you please refer to studies that proves otherwise?
Thanks David
