There was a big test performed last year on olive oil sold in the US as "Extra Virgin." The testing indicated that the majority of such oil isn't in fact Extra Virgin. Imported brands were less likely to be mislabeled than those from California, but the California brands were still by-and-large mislabeled. While my wife and I no longer cook very much with olive oil, preferring grape seed and coconut oils for that function, we do use it a lot for salad dressings and other similar uses. Buyer beware.
