What does EVOO mean?
EVOO stands for extra virgin olive oil — the top grade of olive oil. It is extracted only by mechanical means, without chemical refining, directly from healthy olives.
To qualify as extra virgin, acidity must be ≤ 0.8%, with no sensory defects. The result is maximum flavour, aroma and nutritional value.
EVOO vs virgin vs refined
Extra virgin: best quality, perfect for dressings and finishing.
Virgin: good oil with minor sensory imperfections.
Refined / pomace: neutral oils suited to high-heat cooking.
