General Questions
- What is extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)?
Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality olive oil, made from pure, cold-pressed olives without chemical processing.
- How is olive oil made?
It is made by crushing olives and extracting the juice without using heat or chemicals, ensuring a natural and flavorful oil.
- What’s the difference between extra virgin, virgin, and regular olive oil?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO): Highest quality, cold-pressed, and unrefined.
Virgin Olive Oil: Slightly lower quality than EVOO but still unrefined.
Regular Olive Oil (Pure or Light Olive Oil): Refined and mixed with virgin oil, making it more neutral in taste.
Storage and Shelf Life
- How should I store olive oil?
Keep it in a cool, dark place, away from heat and light, in a tightly sealed bottle. Avoid plastic and clear glass containers.
- Does olive oil expire?
Yes, it can go rancid over time. Most EVOO lasts 18-24 months from production, but fresher oil is always better.
- Can I refrigerate olive oil?
Yes, but it may solidify. This doesn’t affect quality; just bring it back to room temperature before use.
Cooking and Usage
- Can I cook with extra virgin olive oil?
Yes! Despite common myths, EVOO has a high smoke point (around 190-210°C) and is great for sautéing, roasting, and even frying.
- What are the health benefits of olive oil?
Olive oil is rich in healthy fats and antioxidants, helps reduce inflammation, supports heart health, and may even improve brain function.
- How can I tell if my olive oil is real?
Look for labels like "extra virgin," check the harvest date, and buy from reputable sources. Real EVOO has a fresh, grassy, or peppery taste.
- Why does my olive oil taste bitter or spicy?
That’s a good sign! High-quality EVOO has natural antioxidants (polyphenols) that create a peppery, slightly bitter taste.

The color depends on the type of olives and the harvest time. Green oil is often more intense, while golden oil is milder.
