EVOO?

<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<pre>On a recent trip to Sydney through the Hunter region, I noticed some oil
labelled as "Lemon Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil". As I understand the
situation, this oil (which seems to have been pressed with lemons)
cannot qualify as Extra Virgin.

For starters, the acidity of the oil would be off the scale (with the
intentional addition of Citric Acid from the lemons). In addition, the
oil is not solely olive oil, so cannot be EVOO.

If the oil was extracted, tested as EVOO and then had lemon infused,
that is different because it started as evoo before the addition of the
lemon.

Damn, this is confusing!!

Ideas anyone?
