<pre>Hi
Quite right, it comes down to labelling; eg "Lemon Infused Extra Virgin
Olive Oil" (no variation in font size) would imho be acceptable.
Having said that, the shelf life of such an infusion would be much shorter
than that of EVO. It suggests that the base is largely (stable) refined
olive oil.
