Abstract: Extra virgin olive oils from different regions of Italy, both made in artisan manner and industrially produced, were analyzed by means of multi-angle and multi-wavelength absorption spectroscopy in the visible spectral range, and were then compared with other edible oils. A multivariate processing of the spectral data produced maps of oils clustered according to oil type and geographic origin.
