What can happen to the oil in storage and transport? The question of authenticity and quality and the various grades of olive oils are presented. In this chapter, we discuss the deeper meaning of authenticity from both a process and chemical point of view. The chemical stories told here relate to the natural chemicals in the oil that are measured to indicate quality and how some of these chemicals can affect shelf life.
