    Unless it says extra virgin olive oil, the olive oil itself might even be highly processed.

    To be designated as extra-virgin, no heat or chemicals can be used during the extraction process or at any other stage of getting it into the bottle

      Yeah, there’s a lot to good EVOO.

      Here i wouldnt really trust anything I can get from the supermarket, and certainly not anything imported.

      The health benefits diminish significantly over time.

      So the “best before” date might be 2 years, but if you want the health benefits then every month counts. Also the time spent in contact with air.
