Is there an extra virgin olive brand produced in Spain, called "Clorlina"? Its barcode is 8436544133904, and I heard 84* means production in Spain.

I have searched for "Clorlina" in Bing, with or without "olive oil", but only found it is an olive oil brand being sold in China (for example, here). The link says that the brand was founded by a prestigious company named Aires deJaen, by a noble family named Lopez, in Jaén, Andalucia, Spain.

Internet access from China is very restricted, so I am not sure if I got the necessary information.

Thanks.

No, there is no such olive oil brand in Spain, nor would there be. The word "chlorlina" in Spanish is almost identical to the word for "chlorine". Nobody would name their olive oil that.

This is certainly a China-only brand. It may be made up of low-quality olive oils (or other oils) from random locations. It could also be real olive oil from Aires de Jaen, who notes on their web page that they export to China. There's no real way to tell, unless you can personally distinguish quality olive oil by taste.

The Spanish Language Stack Exchange has a question and an answer about this same question. According to the answer this is a case of the name "Gloria" being transliterated into Hanzi as 歌洛琳娜 (Gē luò lín nà) and then this is transliterated back into Latin script as "Clorlina". I don't speak Spanish or Chinese myself so I can't confirm whether this is correct or not.

As a Spanish speaker I was surprised by this post, no one would name their olive oil "Chlorine" and the Spanish search results on Duckduckgo show nothing except the page you attached ddg results for "aceite de oliva clorlina"

No, there is no "Glorlina" brand in Spain for olive oil. It is only a brand used for export.

歌洛琳娜橄榄油产自西班牙安达卢西亚的哈恩地区

It says exactly, “Glorena” olive oil is produced in the Jaen region of Andalusia, Spain.”

Glorlina is a poor translation of 歌洛琳娜 (Glorena). Glorena is a woman's name, although uncommon, but existing in the Spanish language. Example - Glorena Castillo, Glorena García…
