Overview

Mission

The purpose of this corporation is to improve conditions in the California olive oil industry by, including but not limited to, protecting consumers, retailers, farm families and California olive oil producers from deceptive advertising and labeling practices that undermine the integrity of the California-grown olive oil industry and protect the value of 100% California grown olives.

What it reported doing in 2023

The coalition helped successfully pass assembly bill 535 which mandates that if "California" is used on the label of a product containing non-California grown oil, the percentage of California oil must be listed in the same font size as the word "California". The passage of ab 535 is a step in the right direction to end the exploitation of the "California" name and positive reputation which ultimately undermines actual California olive oil producers.
