I tried to use this recipe and multiply it, only to discover I had almost none of the ingredients. So mine only has white vinegar, salt, American mustard power, 4 duck yolks, 4 chicken yolks, and only 1 teaspoon of msg. I eyeballed the oil, and only used EVOO. It’s a bit sharp and tangy, but still tasty.
While fake stuff is an issue, it’s not quite as bad as that despite what that one report on the news said. The majority of Olive oil is fine and most of the fakes are olive oil from a different country pretending to be from Greece or Italy, or standard police oil pretending to be extra virgin. There are actual fakes like you described but I think that’s less than 5 percent.
IIRC, the USDA does not have a single “minimum olive oil content” percentage for a product to be called olive oil, and the labeling requirements in said “country” are shameful. Also, “5%” is stupid generous.
