== Nutritional information ==
+
The nutritional values of olive oils are more spread out than necessary. Some producers list the values per 100g and other per 100ml. The difference is the specific weight of olive oils (0.92 g/l). At the moment it is not possible to distinguish between per ml and per g data.
+
+
It seems that some producers do not actually measure the nutritional values, but use canonical (standard) values.
+
+
The producers sometimes give upper limits that are quite high. This might distort the statistics as these limits can not be filtered out at the moment.
+
+
For products with a per serving style nutritional table (USA/Canada), the small serving size (15ml) and the rounding used might distort the correct values.

Using the nutritional information (and other information) it is possible to define a quality envelope. Any products that fall outside this envelope have a quality issue.
