olive oils

Shawn said:

What are the differences between normal olive oil and 'extra virgin' olive oil, nutritionally? How
much cholesterol do they contain? Thanks.

No cholesterol in olive oil. Nutritionally? I believe unrefined extra virgin olive oil has a higher
level of antioxidants. The best is extra virgin olive oil with first cold pressing and unfiltered,
and should be in an amber-colored type bottle - meaning not clear and not plastic.

I can't find much information about this, can anyone confirm? Thanks.

What difference does bottling make?

The coloring protects the oil from light. Glass is enert and plastic is not.

There is a company out in California that is producing extra virgin olive oil unfiltered and made
from organic olives. Here is their website with contact information: barianioliveoil.combarianioliveoil.comOpen ↗

``The oil should be packaged in dark glass bottles to protect it from the damaging effects
of light.''
