What You Need to Know About Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
What is the difference between Regular Olive Oil vs Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)?
EVOO is made from Pure, cold-pressed olives, whereas, regular olive oil is a blend, including both cold pressed and processed oils.
EVOO is considered healthier than regular olive oil because it is less refined.
EVOO boasts a strong, faintly fruity and distinctly olive flavor. Regular olive oil has a mild and lighter taste.
Extra-virgin olive oil is an unrefined oil and the highest-quality olive oil you can buy. There are very specific standards oil has to meet to receive the label “extra-virgin.” Because of the way extra-virgin olive oil is made, it retains more true olive taste, and has a lower level of oleic acid than other olive oil varieties. It also contains more of the natural vitamins and minerals found in olives.
