Olive Oil Q&A #5

“Extra virgin” is not just a marketing term.

It’s the highest grade of olive oil — made from olives, extracted without heat or chemical refining, and known for its fresh flavor.

Why it matters

  • Extra virgin has the cleanest taste.
  • It’s the best choice for salads, dipping, and finishing.
  • It’s the bottle you can use every day with confidence.
