Brief
The Olive Oil Commission of California is a government entity of the State of California and operates with general oversight from the California Department of Food and Agriculture. The OOCC was established and is funded by California olive oil farmers. California olive oil producers subject to the OOCC standards must participate in a mandatory sampling and testing program.
