Whats the difference between virgin olive oil and extra virgin olive oil?
Extra virgin olive oil is made from the first pressing of the olives and has less than 0.8% acidity, one test of superior flavor. It also means no chemicals were used to extract the oil, only physical pressure put on the just-harvested olives. The first cold pressing is generally considered the best for flavor and if an olive oil was produced that way, you can be sure it will say so on the bottle.
