> For grades of oil European Union law rules OK! More than 95% of the
>world production of olive oil comes from the Mediterranean and most of that
>from the European countries in the Union.
>
> For consumers there are four grade defined as commodities.
>
>
> 1. extravergine
>
> 2. vergine
>
> 3. olive oil, pure olive oil, light olive oil.
>
> 4. Olive oil and sansa (residues from the press) oil.
>
>
> Outside the producing countries one rarely see anything but
>extravergine and olive oil.
>
> Remember these are commodity standards defined by acidity, heat
>treatment etc and premium oils are "better" than extravergine.

> Cheers Brian Chatterton.
