Molino & Cata Editorial Policy

Who writes

Every article includes the name of the person who wrote it and the publication and last updated dates.

• Mercedes Uceda, professional taster: tasting, quality, varieties and production.
• Jerónimo Palacios: purchasing, storage, prices and the market.

Sources

We link to the source of any data that is not our own.

• Regulations: Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/2104 on the marketing standards for olive oil.
• Sensory and chemical analysis methods of the International Olive Council.
• Published scientific studies, with a link to the original.
• Our own data, such as tastings or sales, with its origin and date.

Health

We only use health claims authorized by the European Union. For olive oil, there is one: “the polyphenols in olive oil contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative damage” (Regulation (EU) 432/2012), valid only for oils with at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives per 20 g.

We do not provide medical advice.

Artificial intelligence

No text is published without being written or reviewed and signed by a member of the team. Tastings, data and opinions are our own.

Commercial relationship

We sell the oils we write about. When an article links to a product, it is from our store.

Some articles and videos feature producers with whom we have a commercial agreement. We indicate this in the piece itself.

Errors and corrections

If you find an error, write to us at hello@molinoycata.com. We will correct it and add a note at the end of the article stating what changed and when.
