Laboratory and test sheet
Transparency means numbers and a plain explanation beside every product.
The Arzima laboratory
Arzima has its own laboratory and checks every batch. The virgin or extra virgin grade of each batch is printed on the label from that batch's acidity and peroxide. For fuller tests a sample goes to an independent laboratory and its sheet is published here.
