Wots the difference between extra virgin olive oil and just normal olive oil?
Answers:
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is from the first pressing of the olives. This will give you the best, and tastiest olive oil. This will have a more delicate flavour.
Olive Oil is the 2nd or 3rd pressings...These have a "rougher" flavour, and is not of such high quality.
When you are using olive oil for, say, drizzles, finishes, salad dressings, etc, use Extra Virgin, because you will be able to taste it the best!
When you are frying, or using it in baking, or plain old "cooking, use the regular olive oil. It is less expensive, you will be using more, and the intracacies of the flavour of Extra Virgin Olive Oil would be wasted in these instances.
Hope this helps.
