FWIW: Just found this website 64 Certified Pure and Authentic Olive Oils. I didn't look into their testing process, and because they do list, as certified authentic, at least 2 products that are blends, I email them to explain why.
Now I know that recent info has suggested or possibly proven that the supposed wide spread adulteration of olive oil was not accurate. Although, having a very good Italian friend with family in the olive business in Italy - I do know purity is a big issue. Hope to finally get the answer to the olive oil thing because I'm questioning my disdain for a high olive oil soap after experience this lost recipe of mine. Bought some Colavita refined oo, certified, from Amazon - for about 4.50 cheaper than Kirkland.
I'd really love to find a source of California olive oil that's comparable to Costco's price, because after all - I'm IN California!
