<pre>Lampante Olive Oil


This is virgin olive oil with greater than 3.3% free acid. It is
considered inedible and so used in lamps, for heating and cooking. Some
Mediterranean village people like this oil because it is considered
"flavoursome" compared to the extra virgin grade.


An intersting point is that Lampante OliveOil is the mainstay of some of
olive oil refining companies and when it is in short supply, fetches
about the same trade price as extra virgin olive oils.
