This test really is not scientific… and I don’t know how accurate it is.

That said, I’m with the Italians in that they don’t trust ANY olive oil unless they actually know the farmer. I think that’s the net net of this whole thing.

(the other olive oils are still liquid, though...). Then again, it WAS in my fridge door, where it may possibly be slightly less cool than the rest of the fridge...

I have Spectrum's "Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, First Cold Pressed" and Olive Pit's "Mission Variety Extra VIrgin Olive Oil Cold Pressed". Put them in the fridge last night. They BOTH fail. Not one sign of solidification. =( They aren't huge bottles (25.4 FL OZ and 12.7 FL OZ, respectivley), and they were in the fridge for over 12 hours... I have one more bottle of olive oil left... Napa Valley's "Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Delicate & Mild, First Cold Pressing, ect...". I just put it in the fridge, and will check on it in the morning tomorrow... These oils are expensive, and it irritates me to think that they aren't genuine... >:( I have a few bottles of olive oil, and decided to put them to the test after reading this post…
