The report shows the effects of olive cultivars, the influence of harvest timing and the changes to quality as a result of site and seasonal growing conditions. Currently genuine olive oil can be rejected as adulterated when it is outside existing regulations. Results in this report clearly describe quality characteristics of premium quality, extra virgin olive oil grown under Australian conditions."--RIRDC website Notes "RIRDC Project No. PRJ-000497" "October 2008" "RIRDC new ideas for rural Australia"--Cover Bibliography Bliography: pages 106-108 Audience "This report is targeted at those who set international standards for olive oil.
