Slovak Republic
Apr 28, 2025
The labeling of extra-virgin and virgin olive oils has received minimal attention in both domestic and foreign legal doctrine. The European Union is the world's leading producer, exporter, and consumer of olive oil. In this paper, the authors provide a summary of the legal regulation of labeling for extra-virgin and virgin table olive oils, drawing primarily on European Union standard-setting, the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, and relevant legal and food literature. In particular, the authors use the methods of synthesis and analysis to analyze the legal regulation of selected mandatory and voluntary information on extra-virgin and virgin olive oils, focusing on the name of the food, information on the categories of olive oils, the specific storage conditions of extra-virgin and virgin olive table oils and their place of origin. The paper aims to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the legal provisions governing the labeling of extra-virgin and virgin table olive oils, and to offer solutions to the problematic and contentious issues surrounding their labeling.
