Extra virgin olive oil

Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality and most flavorful type of olive oil, made from the first cold pressing of ripe olives without using chemicals or heat. It has a rich taste, often featuring fruity, peppery, or grassy notes, and contains healthy fats and antioxidants. Its low acidity (less than 0.8%) ensures a pure, fresh flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is commonly used for drizzling, dressings, and finishing dishes to enhance flavor, while also providing health benefits due to its nutrient content. It is considered the best choice for culinary and health purposes among olive oils.
