All over the world, well-organised criminal networks work together to penetrate complex supply chains. Scams range from the intentional mislabelling of inferior products in order to pass them off as premium items, to the substitution of one food stuff for something else entirely. The profits are enormous. But what are the risks to the consumer? How can we identify food fraud? And what can be done to stop it? In this clip we go undercover to investigate the Mafia’s hold on the olive oil industry, and the lengths they will go to to boost profits.
This documentary was produced by Tangerine and directed by Bénédicte Delfaut. It was first released in 2021.

My olive oil empire! NOOOOO!
Ten years back, extensive tests of oliveoil, in Australia, discover all Australian olive oil was pure. All imported oil, from Europe, was condemned as contaminated.
1:12 my man drinking a shot of oil like its jaggermeister 😆
As a Greek,I always buy Greek olive oil (obviously) but what the Italians are doing with fraudulent olive oil is madness. Many bona fide Italian producers will suffer from that.
