SA Olive Commitment to Compliance scheme
Member of SA Olive Commitment to Compliance scheme
To ensure that the consumer chooses the best quality locally
produced oils, SA Olive has introduced a seal that will appear on olive products of participating SA Olive members. For the consumer, this Commitment to Compliance seal means the following
- The producer confirms that the content is 100% South African.
- The year of harvest will be prominently displayed, indicating the freshness of the oil.
- The producer is committed to the standards set in the
SA Olive Codes of Practice, which are based on international quality standards. - Honest and transparent labelling - if the label states that
the content is Extra Virgin, the producer verifies that the
content is in fact Extra Virgin and not Virgin, or a refined olive oil.
During the past five years, South African Extra Virgin Olive Oils have regularly received international quality awards, proving that locally produced Extra Virgin Olive Oils can compete successfully with the best in the world.
