Trust Levels

Higher trust levels indicate more comprehensive verification.

Our trust badges help you understand how thoroughly each olive oil listing has been verified – at a glance. They're based on the best information available for the latest release.

Trust Badge Levels

EVV Verified

Extra Virgin Vault has independently viewed the lab results from the producer or their website. This is our highest level of verification, indicated by the checkmark badge.

Third Party Verified

Oil has been verified by a third-party such as an awards competition which confirms it meets domestic extra virgin olive oil standards. This provides independent validation of quality claims.

Published Results

The producer has published results for this oil on their website or marketing materials, but the information has not been reviewed by a third party. This shows transparency from the producer.
