1 OFFICIAL CONTROLL FOR CHECKING QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY OF OLIVE OIL IN ITALY Olive Oil Workshop 11 October 2013, Shanghai Angelo Faberi Dipartimento dell'ispettorato centrale della tutela della qualità e della repressione frodi dei prodotti agroalimentari

2 EXTRA VIRGIN AND VIRGIN OLIVE OILS Olive oil, due to its distinctive characteristics is one of the most valuable product utilized in the Mediterranean diet Mediterranean diet: Vegetables Cereals Fish Olive oil Rich in antioxidants such as β- carotene and tocopherols Increased Popularity Beneficial effects on health High demand for olive oils (especially extra virgin)

3 Olive oil now is produced in more regions of the world respect to the past, however the area Mediterranean remains the most important in the world in terms of production and also for historical reasons. Olive trees are grown in Mediterranean countries basin from thousands of years....but the fact of being a valuable product let it since a long time to be vulnerable to adulteration with cheaper oils Torino, 1 dicembre

4 OLIVE OIL STANDARDS Numerous international bodies are involved with standards of olive oil, setting limits on key chemical physical and or organoleptic characteristics. Italian national legislations is substantially superseded by European Union legislation, in particular with regard to the sales descriptions, specifications and labeling rules, and safety. Grading standards for olive oil in EU are codified into law since (REG EEC 133/66) Today EU legislation is substantially harmonized with IOC trade standard. Official testing of olive oil production is mandatory for both domestically marketed product and for products for export. Enforcement is carried out by each Member States. Provisions of standards are regulary revised in order to adapt it to olive oil and technical changes. Pagina 4

5 ENSURING THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF OLIVE OILS PRODUCED IN ITALY Italy plays a key role in the global olive oil supply chain as trader, producer, blender, and bottler. Over many, many years Italy has developed excellent know-how in making olive oil blends of a recognized and consistent quality and in selling them world-wide. Consequently to guarantee the quality of olive oil and of olive pomace oil and ensure fair trade practices is an important priority in Italy. 5

6 ICQRF - OLIVE OIL OFFICIAL CONTROL IN ITALY Official olive oil and olive pomace oils control is made in Italy by a special Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, which operates throughout the country, with own staff and resources. The Central Inspectorate for Quality Protection and Fraud Repression of Food Products (ICQRF) was established by Italian Law of 7 August 1986, n The ICQRF operates according to the principles set out in Reg. (EC) n. 882/2004 (on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules): ensuring: efficiency, effectiveness and impartiality; performing controls on a regular basis, without notice and at any stage in the food-farming chain; Taking into account: risk analysis (based on knowledge and experience gained from previous controls and control records); Having at disposal qualified and well trained personnel; Utilizing standardized control procedures.

25 QUALITY AND PURITY CONTROLS IN OLIVE OILS QUALITY is the standard of something linked to satisfaction of consumer needs. In everyday language we speak in terms of excellent quality or average quality or bad quality of a product. PURITY is intended as freedom from adulteration and/or contamination. QUALITY PURITY Concerning olive oil control QUALITY and PURITY are different issues

30 As well as compliance of chemical physical parameters the respect of sensory analysis specifications is a mandatory requisite for classifying an oil as extra virgin and virgin category the grade of an olive oil shall assessed by several test by sensory analysis made by a panel of well trained tasters Verification by national authorities or their representatives of the organoleptic characteristics of virgin oils shall be effected by tasting panels approved by the Member States. The organoleptic characteristics of an oil as referred to in the first subparagraph shall be deemed consonant with the category declared if a panel approved by the Member State confirms the grading. (Reg. EEC 2568/91 article 2, paragraph 2) Torino, 1 dicembre

32 Since 1991, following the introduction of the method for the organoleptic evaluation of VOO as an official parameter to be controlled, in the Laboratories of Rome, Perugia, Salerno and Catania were established four official panels of tasters*. The ICQRF panels are also internationally recognized by the International Olive Oil Council (IOOC). * Official panels are the sole kind of panels entitled to declassify an olive oil on the basis of organoleptic characteristics.

33 NON COMPILANCE CONSEQUENCES parties may be prosecuted;. withdrawn of the product from the market where appropriate product may be relabeled after paying an administrative sanction; product may be seized and/or put under detention;
