What affects peroxide levels. Do they still increase if the oil is stored without light or oxygen? Also, it says USA olive oil…. Is this from olives grown in the US?

Peroxide measures the oxidation and its unstoppable process related to time. What producers do to slow it down is to prevent the oil to be in contact with light and oxygen infact the oil is put in silos protecting from light and a special gas is added to remove oxygen, the same is done when they bottled it. Regarding the USA is not about olive origin, that is Sicily. USA is the code of product declaration for this test report which is used internationally
