Frequently Asked Questions about Olive Oil Quality
What is “Extra Virgin” olive oil?
Extra Virgin is the name given to oil that has less than 0.8% quantity of free fatty acids (FFA). The FFA count is a measure of quality - how carefully and how quickly the olives were picked, stored, transported and pressed into oil.
Free fatty acids have no affect on the taste or smell of the oil. They are only a measure of acids that are created when olives are bruised or stored in dirty containers or in hot and airless conditions before pressing.
Virgin olive oil is allowed a higher FFA count – up to 2% - and is fit for the same uses as Extra Virgin olive oil. It may be very close in quality to Extra Virgin olive oil but is usually sold at a cheaper price.
What is “Cold Pressed” olive oil?
Cold pressed means that the temperature of the oil is kept below 35 °C throughout the pressing process. Higher temperatures will degrade the taste and smell of the oil and will cause oxidation (a chemical reaction with oxygen), which reduces the h
What is h
When you consume good olive oil, polyphenols present in the oil are absorbed into the body where they help maintain high HDL (“good” cholesterol) levels while reducing LDL (“bad” cholesterol) levels. Another key ingredient is oleic acid. This is the mono-unsaturated fatty acid which, if eaten instead of saturated fats, contributes to your h
Polyphenols are anti-oxidants - chemicals that react with oxygen to prevent other, more important chemicals from reacting with it. That is why olive oil can maintain its flavorful constituents for a year or more, if properly stored. When the polyphenols are used up, the oil goes rancid. Similarly, in your body, it is the anti-oxidant activity of the olive oil that reduces cholesterol levels.
How can I tell if an olive oil is good?
Taste it! Unspoiled olive oil can remind you of a fruit or vegetable or nut. It can taste of grass or have an “olive” taste. In all cases it should feel wholesome and interesting to your palate. You should like it!
Spoiled olive oil can taste of old mushrooms (musty defect), wine or vinegar (winey defect), staleness (fusty defect) or it can taste rancid (like rancid butter). It can even have a metallic taste if badly processed.
Has the oil been tested for peroxides? Peroxides are the exact opposite of polyphenols. As polyphenols are used up, peroxides are created. Newly pressed olive oil should have a peroxide count less than 20.
