In London the Guardian has listed The Village Press olive oil as a "crime against the planet" because of its food miles,  a needlessly extravagant  resource imported from the other side of the world.

Village Press Director Wayne Startup says the olive oil is sent to the UK by boat, which creates fewer carbon emissions than flying it there, is grown and made in an environmentally sustainable way and is not subsidized like most European olive oils.
