The label tells a story
Let us read the label

@ A.D.O.S. INTERNATIONALThe story
The woman in charge brings a large demonstration label. Rumo reads the product name and Neri helps him recognise the other information:
origin, quantity, the person or company responsible, storage instructions and a date to read correctly. Sami finds the batch number again. “It is the thread we were looking for!”
Ada links the label to the map, without thinking it contains every detail of growing the olives. Leo prefers the colourful picture, but Tila shows him the most useful words. An adult can read them with him. “Preparing, checking, printing and applying the label also takes work and materials,” Curiosone explains. “It is not just a picture to stick on.”
Ada keeps space for information that can be read clearly. Rumo folds the sheet carefully. After so many meetings, the bottle is small enough to reach the table and full of information that should not be ignored.
Let’s talk about it
Is the label only there to decorate the bottle?
One possible answer
No. It gives product information, such as the name, origin for virgin olive oils, quantity, batch number and useful storage instructions.
A little activity
Our notebook — With an adult, look for the word oil and a storage instruction on a label. You do not have to read it on your own.
