| 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. |
据英国《每日电讯报》报道，意大利警方调查发现，80%产自意大利的橄榄油掺杂了来自地中海国家的劣质品。 |
| 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. |
为了满足国际市场对橄榄油不断增长的需求，意大利一些利欲熏心的生产商竟然把产自希腊、西班牙、摩洛哥和突尼斯的廉价橄榄油掺兑到意大利橄榄油中，冒充高端的初榨橄榄油。 |
|
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.

正是这样的巨大商机，让意大利成为仅次于西班牙的欧洲第二大橄榄油生产国，橄榄油行业一年能创造50亿欧元收入。 |
