| A police investigation has discovered that four out of five bottles of Italian olive oil are being adulterated with lower quality oil from other Mediterranean countries, the Daily Telegraph reported. |
據(jù)英國《每日電訊報》報道，意大利警方調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，80%產(chǎn)自意大利的橄欖油摻雜了來自地中海國家的劣質(zhì)品。 |
| With the global appetite for olive oil on the increase, unscrupulous producers are meeting the demand by mixing in cheaper oil from Greece, Spain, Morocco and Tunisia and passing it off as top-end extra virgin oil. |
為了滿足國際市場對橄欖油不斷增長的需求，意大利一些利欲熏心的生產(chǎn)商竟然把產(chǎn)自希臘、西班牙、摩洛哥和突尼斯的廉價橄欖油摻兌到意大利橄欖油中，冒充高端的初榨橄欖油。 |

The stakes are high -- Italy is Europe's second-largest producer of olive oil after Spain and the Italian olive oil sector is worth an estimated five billion euros a year.

正是這樣的巨大商機，讓意大利成為僅次于西班牙的歐洲第二大橄欖油生產(chǎn)國，橄欖油行業(yè)一年能創(chuàng)造50億歐元收入。 |
