"It is claimed that (cottonseed oil) can, by proper manipulation, be made to resemble and perform the office of any and all oils, and be produced at a cheaper rate than the cheapest of the originals. Sagacious people shipped it to Italy, doctored it, labeled it, and brought it back as olive oil. This trade grew to be so formidable that Italy was forced to put a prohibitory impost upon it to keep it from working serious injury to her oil industry."
Fortunately, nowadays organic certification ensures that olive oil is made from olives.
