Brief
Extra virÂgin olive oil is made simÂply by crushÂing olives and extractÂing the juice. It is the only cookÂing oil that is made withÂout the use of chemÂiÂcals and indusÂtrial refinÂing. It’s simÂply the juice of fresh, healthy olives which conÂtains, more than any other grade, the health-proÂmotÂing nutriÂents that olive oil is famous for. Its free fatty acidÂity can’t exceed 0.8% and it can disÂplay no defects in taste or aroma.
