Seal Programs
The NAOOA operates olive oil certification programs to provide consumers with confidence in their olive oil choices, promoting transparency, quality, and health benefits across the olive oil industry. These programs—NAOOA Certified Olive Oil, Extra Virgin Alliance, and the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check® Program—enable you to make informed choices with every purchase. Explore our programs below.
NAOOA Certified Olive Oil
The North American Olive Oil Association (NAOOA) conducts the nation's largest and most complete olive oil testing and certification program. We purchase olive oil from supermarkets in the USA and Canada and test multiple times per year for adherence to the physico-chemical standards set by the International Olive Council (IOC) for both purity and quality.
Extra Virgin Alliance
The Extra Virgin Alliance is a resource for people who love olive oil. EVA has gathered from each company detailed information about a host of factors on quality, farming practices, packaging, production, and history. Then we provide an easy-to-use reference about each of the olive oils through the Extra Virgin Alliance Product Directory.
American Heart Association’s Heart Check® Program
NAOOA has teamed up with the American Heart Association (AHA) to make it easier and more affordable for members to use the AHA’s Heart-Check mark on their olive oil products. View a list of participating companies and look for the Heart Check seal when shopping.
The North American Olive Oil Association is committed to supplying North American consumers with quality products in a fair and competitive environment; to fostering a clear understanding of the different grades of olive oil; and to expounding the benefits of olive oil in nutrition, health, and the culinary arts. | © North American Olive Oil Association.
