My olive oil is labeled very clearly "Imported."  Great, like everything else in my house it is imported.  When you turn the bottle to the side and read more info on the label you can decifer where this oil is imported from: TN-Tunisia, SP-Spain, TR-Turkey, IT-Italy, AR-Argentina.  So to remain as a consistent product these different areas must have the same flavor and consistency.  So who cares what country it came from.... HYPE.

Here is a bottle of wine that clearly states it is from Washington State. Wine seems to almost always include where the grapes are from because I have been told that it does create very distinctly different tastes.

This wine bottle was found in my fridge still unopen from Thanksgiving dinner.  It has a very nice flavor that goes well with turkey.  It was made and imported from Spain.  The name of the wine is Cordon Negro
Rice

This 50 lb rice bag here is from my aunt's grocery store here in Bloomington.  My family buys this rice every time and now they have also came out with a new design.  It was imported from Thailand.  The rice is very delicious and it lasts for quite awhile.

This is a Sarah wine from California. The label stresses that the grapes are from the Central Coast of California. We chose this wine because of the pretty label and it also is tasty for the price! (Under $10!)

My first item, the Ambrosia Apple, is from British Colombia, Canada. This is advertised through the name of apple which is known to the area. The second item, the Bartlett pear was
advertised as being from California. While the tastes of these specific fruits may be very good, I do not find them to be much different than other fruits of their kind. There are just so many delicious producers out there that I personally do not find much differentiation.

The origin may matter in this case, because like the wines it is made from, the grapes are very sensitive to their growing conditions.

The name of this brand of flour is "Dakota Maid", which directly tells us the region where the flour is produced - even if the Dakota is in reference to the Native American tribe, we know that they originate from Minnesota and the Dakotas.

This honey is locally produced honey.  First the large Minnesota Grown sticker on the bottle tells us upfront that the honey comes from Minnesota.  Also the address of the company is listed on the bottom of the bottle stating that it is comming form Prior Lake, MN.
