The laugh is that Spsin Italy and Greece sell around 3 times the 'virgin 
olive oil' that they actually produce

The labels may be legal, but whats inside the bottle is not

Guardian UK from  14 years ago

"Last month, the Olive Oil Times reported that two Spanish businessmen 
had been sentenced to two years in prison in Cordoba for selling 
hundreds of thousands of litres of supposedly extra virgin olive oil 
that was, in fact, a mixture of 70-80% sunflower oil and 20-30% olive.

In 2008, Italian police arrested over 60 people and closed more than 90 
farms and processing plants across the south after uncovering 
substandard, non-Italian olive oil being passed off as Italian extra 
virgin, and chlorophyll and beta-carotene being added to sunflower and 
soybean oil with the same aim.

Most alarmingly, a study last year by researchers at the University of 
California, Davis and the Australian Oils Research Laboratory concluded 
that as much as 69% of imported European olive oil (and a far smaller 
proportion of native Californian) sold as extra virgin in the 
delicatessens and grocery stores on the US west coast wasn't what it 
claimed to be."
