centrifuging or filtering. Depending on its degree of acidity, as well as its taste

characteristics, virgin olive oil is divided in the following categories:

a. Extra virgin olive oil has acidity between 0,1g - 0, 8g . That means

that acidity will be less than 0,8g per *0 0g of oil. This is considerate

to be the highest quality on physical means under low temperature

conditions.
