Attention consumers! Fake olive oil sales have emerged in Alanya!

With the start of the olive harvest in Alanya, sales of fake olive oil have also begun in the market. Experts warn consumers not to be deceived.

Olive production in Alanya concludes with the harvest. However, during this period, it is known that fake olive oil is being sold in the market. It is extremely important to buy the correct product.

Is it imported from China?

Opinions that olive oil is imported from China have become widespread. Olive oil producers claim that aromas produced in China are being sold in Turkey as olive oil, and that consumers are not buying natural olive oil.

Olive oil producer Hüseyin Babaoğlu also stated that such products are easily sold. Emphasizing the lack of control in the market, Babaoğlu said that both consumers and producers who do their work honestly are suffering.

How to distinguish fake olive oil from real olive oil?

To distinguish fake olive oil from real, it is useful to pay attention to certain factors. Prices of fake products are much cheaper than normal. Citizens facing financial difficulties may be lured by the affordable prices and end up buying non-natural olive oil.

If olive oil does not spread on the surface of water and begins to crystallize and freeze when placed in the refrigerator, it indicates its naturalness. Additionally, those who want to buy correct and quality olive oil should always choose reliable producers.
