What is the difference btw olive oil and extra virgin olive oil??
Answers:
extra virgin olive oil comes from the first pressing of the olives, with very low acidity. It is the most flavorful and the most expensive, and is generally used only when you want to taste the flavor of the oil in what you're preparng.

Extra Virgin olive oil is much more pure and clean than regular olive oil
good question. probably how they process it or filter it. something like that.
the more extra or light it is the more pressed the olives were
beore that grade was made.
Extra virgin - considered the best, least processed, comprising the oil from the first pressing of the olives.
Virgin - from the second pressing.
Pure - undergoes some processing, such as filtering and refining.
Extra light - undergoes considerable processing and only retains a very mild olive flavor.
Comparing olive oils is like comparing wines. Ordinary olive oil is just like an ordinary wine, just fine when cooking food, but Extra Virgin Oil is like a very good wine with a great taste, using extra virgin oil your food will taste much, much better. Extra virgin oil is just the BEST of olive oils.
Extra Virgin is the first pressing of the olives. It's the best. Then you have pure light and pomace.
