More than 500 chemists participate to verify their lab’s quality control. Modern Olives Technical Director Leandro Ravetti comments "Receiving recognition for the accuracy of our laboratory proficiency program by the most prestigious oil society in the world and a highly independent body is a great honour for our lab and for Australia”. “It reinforces the fact that our scientists, knowledge and research in olive oil chemistry are of the highest standards”.
“Furthermore, USA is Australia’s main export market for olive oil and having such recognition from an American body is a great boost in confidence for our laboratory and our customers in Australia that export their oils over there” says Ravetti.
