Official Regional Quality Seals • 142 Standards

PDO / PGI / COOC LEGAL CEILINGS

Standard supermarket “Extra Virgin” allows up to 0.80% free fatty acidity (IOC limit)—leaving huge room for aging or degraded fruit. Official PDO, PGI, and COOC regional seals enforce 30% to 62% stricter legal chemical ceilings and mandate specific heritage cultivars.

Standard Supermarket Rule (IOC Baseline)
Max 0.80% Acidity

Up to 20 meq/kg Peroxide & 0.22 K270 UV oxidation. No minimum polyphenol requirement.

Strictest PDO / COOC Regional Seals
Max 0.30% – 0.50% Acidity

Requires immediate cold milling within hours of harvest, stricter peroxide ceilings (≤12–15 meq/kg), and verified regional groves.

Legally Mandated Regional Cultivars
Zero Anonymous Multi-Country Blending

Every PDO/PGI seal specifies the exact heritage olive varieties permitted in the crush—click any cultivar tag below to view its fatty acid chemistry.
