I recently got some olive oil from an Asian Market and later discovered that it was a blend. It was Genco brand.  The same brand in the Godfather movie.

 

Well, at least they identified it as a blend, I'm assuming, on the label. I don't mind blended oils as long as they are honest about it. The way to do that IMO is to state it in easily readable print on the front of the package.

 

Interesting tidbit about the "Godfather". There are some really engaging food and cooking scenes in that series of movies, but I had never noticed the Genco brand. I particularly remember the scene in prison where they are slicing garlic cloves paper thin. Those characters loved their food enough to qualify as eG'ers. :smile:

That's not the Godfather. The razor blade garlic is in Goodfellas.
