Even fewer are the ones who know the basic differences of each category.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is of excellent quality with perfect aroma and intense fruity taste. It comes from the cold pressing of the olives without adding water at the olive press. That is because we avoid to destroy the vitamins and nutrients from the temperature increase. More specifically, this is pure olive oil, without industrial processing. Its acidity ranges from 0 to 0.8%. Acidity reveals the quality of the oil, the lower the better. Additionally, it has been observed that olive oil with low acidity has good organoleptic properties, which is also the most important quality criterion for oil selection. The next category of olive oil is virgin olive oil, which is also produced directly by the olive with mechanical means, but its acidity can reach up to 2%. Processed and Refined Olive Oil is an industrially processed product that due to its processing has lost its valuable nutrients and has an acidity not exceeding 1%. It is a mixture of refined and virgin olive oils to improve its quality, it has good but not strong taste. Except for the above three main categories there are other types of olive oil, such as organic olive oil produced in non-fertilized olive groves, insecticides and olive mill tanks, are washed and tested in order not to mix the product with a previous batch. Besides, no processing takes place in the process of its maintenance and bottling.
