Initial comments
There are some points that need working on: I'll put the review on hold to give you time to deal with these points.  Tim riley  talk   09:14, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Use of bold type for "Bitni" and "Bidni" in the main text: fine in the first line of the lead but you need to lose the bolding throughout the rest of the article. (Manual of Style).
 * "oil which is thought to be low in acidity" – thought to be? Hasn't it been checked scientifically?
 * "This dispels several online sources" – dispels? Contradicts, possibly.
 * Block quote: we do not use quotation marks to introduce and conclude block quotes (MOS:BQ).
 * "Olive Oil Times" – needs italicising.
 * "Malta's ancient Bidni olive trees, which have been confirmed through carbon dating" – it is not the trees but their antiquity that has been confirmed.
 * "still bear fruit, however their olives" – stronger stop than a comma needed.
 * "this statistic comes as no surprise" – you should remove the WP:EDITORIAL
 * "predominant, testimony" – stronger stop than a comma needed.
 * "eat these ... serve these" – "them" would be clearer than "these" here
 * "On a different note" – more editorialising.

Following the nominator's recent changes I think the article now meets the GA criteria, so ...

Overall summary
