Colours by Europe | EU Oils & Fats

Oils & Fats

Whether you are cooking or garnishing a meal, oil is important for taste. The EU produces over 70% of the world’s olive oil, in addition to a spectrum of oils, vinegars and sauces packed with delicious flavours, good fats and antioxidants. All oil production stages are monitored and tested by experts to verify authenticity and uphold safety and quality standards. What’s the final seal of approval? All oils packaged in the EU must be fitted with a secure seal to prevent tampering. A respect for different regional climates and geography goes into the production of oil from olives, nuts and seeds.
