Extra virgin olive oil has a high nutritional value and is therefore best consumed cold, mostly used in salads. Most production facilities are machine-operated presses, but there are also some producers offering traditional stone-pressed olive oil.
Early Harvest Pressed Olive Oil: This oil is made from olives harvested at the beginning of the season before they are fully ripe. A little bitter adds depth to the flavor of the oil obtained from almost peppery olives. Early harvest olive oil is often sold in smaller quantities at a higher price than other oils, as smaller amounts are produced and more olives are needed for oil production. Check the new harvest label to ensure that the oil comes from the most recent harvest.
 
Virgin Olive Oil (Natural First Olive Oil & Natural Olive Oil) The acidity rate of virgin olive oil is between 0.8% and 2%. This is the most common type of oil, lighter in color and flavor than natural oozing, and therefore suitable for cooking and consuming when hot.
