Olive oil is the most adulterated food product in the world. Expensive to produce, fraudsters will mix a small amount of olive oil with other kinds of low-quality oils, such as hazelnut oil. Scientific instrument manufactures have risen to the challenge of identification over the years, debuting equipment and developing advanced spectroscopic methods that can quickly and reliably verify the quality of olive oil.
Another factor Greek prices are dropping is the growing concern over EEVO adulteration. This year, some Greek olive oil companies began importing repaso olive oil from Spain. Repaso is the process of passing the olive paste waste through the centrifuge a second time with hot water.
This way, the remainder of olive oil left behind in the olive paste is extracted. Some Greek producers mix it with EEVO; something that Italian producers have been accused of for years. Greek legislation prohibits mills to produce repaso oil.
The “Hellenization” of Spanish repaso olive oil was suspected to be the main reason prices of Greek EVOO have dropped, according to Olive Oil Times. The Greek government has pledged to strengthen controls to protect the quality of local olive oil.

"The Greek government has pledged to strengthen controls"
Do you know how corrupt that country is?
Talking of the Greek government taking effective action is like saying that Obama & de Blasio stand with the police against rioters & anarchists.

Check out this Biden propaganda on Pinny Lipschutz's website.
Not everyone may remember that when Pinny first started publishing the Yated in the late 80s, he was pro-menuvol Clinton, which he had to drastically tone down after a massive backlash, especially from the Lakewood oylam.
Lakewood is also pretty corrupt. (we have been reading thid blog for all these years)
The polititians, the vaadim, the Kashrus (all of them), the Education System (you know the annual admissions games etc.).
No different then Greece or the olive oil business.
Another recent scandal & cover up at Pine Valley nursing home in Spring Valley was publicized as the place being owned by Yeshiva of Spring Valley Treasurer & Board member Uri Koenig and that the the marketing director is Pechter, the rebbitzen of the shverre baal davar rosh yeshiva. Someone added the humorous remark, hey rebbitzen, market this!
It seems the YSV macher did not like all the attention, so he has since removed his name & Pechter's name from nursing home website to obscure who owns it.
Maybe Moish Finkel will farentfer that the covid strain at the nursing home comes from Puerto Rico where it's a low virus shed variety:

A new cluster of COVID cases in Rockland has hit the most vulnerable, surfacing inside Pine Valley Center for Rehab in Spring Valley.
Corinne Tavolacci says her 87-year-old father-in-law contracted COVID at the facility.
While the administrator tells News 12 it has "a few cases," News 12 has learned there are at least 13 cases - 10 residents & 3 staff.
Administrator Yehudah Serle told News 12 that they have a "few" residents in that tested positive & all are being treated aggressively. He said they are all "doing well" & contained in an isolated unit.
It's not just the number of cases that has families upset, it's the way the virus got in the building.
One family tells News 12 while the facility prohibited them from visiting or their loved one from leaving, administration allowed Jewish residents only to leave for Rosh Hashana - they then returned with the virus.
Other families confirm the same with News 12, including a resident who asks to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation.
An administrator tells News 12 they urge residents not to go out, but they "have the choice to leave." (Didn't the State prohibit any checking in & out?)
Rockland now has the highest percentage of positives in the state. The majority of cases are in Monsey, Spring Valley & Suffern.
News 12 reached out to the state Dept of Health about the cluster inside Pine Valley & is waiting to hear back.
Another potential parent of a OTD kid that tried to quickly “solve” his OTD issue by registering in YSV (and then blame them for the OTD).
YSV just didn’t fall for his game and now the potential parent is just out to “out” YSV with whatever he finds. The truth does come into consideration at all.
Now you’ll understand why there are so many “pro” YSV comments here.
The bottom line should be is the kid or kids still frum and if not (probably the case) what can we do for them.
Fri 1:29 pm is the OU mashgiach doing his "Adam Schiff" of the internet act.
He has no idea who is exposing YSV with factual items, but because he doesn't want the message to get across he smears the commenter with a 'potential' conspiracy theory that has at best a 1% possibility of panning out.
I thought only the kids are OTD didn’t know the parents are in on it too!!!
