What is extra-virgin oilive oil, anyway ?  Extra virgin simply means ‘the oil from the first pressing.”  It has perfect flavour, colour and aroma, and no more than 1% acidity.  Virgin or pure oil comes from the second pressing of the olives; its flavour is not as intense as the first pressing of the olives. If a label says cold-pressed, it is just trying to impress the consumer, because all olive oils are cold pressed.  Cold pressing is done by spinning a pasta of groun-up olives in a centrifuge and filtering the oil that separates from the residue.  Light olive oil is a product that was created for the American market.  The adjective refers to the milder taste of the oil, not a lower fact or lower calorie oil.  It has the same calorie count  as any oil 120 calories and 14 grams of fat per tablespoon.
