Calories in Oil, olive, extra virgin
The only cooking oil that's also legally graded like wine
What makes oil so powerful?
Extra virgin olive oil is defined by a strict, regulated process: it must come from olives pressed mechanically without heat or chemicals, and it must pass both lab testing and an actual taste panel for defects to earn the "extra" designation, a grading process closer to wine certification than most other cooking oils get. Its standout compound, oleocanthal, is the source of the peppery, throat-catching sensation high-quality extra virgin olive oil produces, and it's structurally similar enough to ibuprofen that researchers have studied its anti-inflammatory effects directly. Olive oil fraud is also a well-documented global problem, as a meaningful share of oil labeled "extra virgin" sold internationally has historically been diluted with cheaper oils.
Save extra virgin olive oil for finishing dishes, dressings, or light sautéing rather than high-heat frying, since its lower smoke point means high heat degrades both flavor and some of its beneficial compounds. Store it away from light and heat in a dark bottle, since exposure to both speeds up rancidity.
