S3Food is a European funded initiative to bring digital innovation to the agrifood sector. One of the projects based in Greece, combines DNA profiles of the olives and the EVOO into the blockchain system. Other quality parameters such geographical location, yield, harvesting and milling time and other quality parameters are also entered into the blockchain information system. This is designed to ensure that there is (non-tampering) full traceability from olive grove to shelf, and hence assure the integrity of the olive oil along the supply chain from farm to fork. The whole traceability story will be available to consumers by means of a QR code.
