Extra Virgin Olive Oil takes place under the virgin olive oil category according to olive oil types and definitions of IOC. There are other two categories of virgin olive oils. These are Virgin Olive Oil and Lamptante.

According to European Commission, virgin olive oil is “the olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means.” However, not all virgin olive oils have the same quality. Some of them have higher quality and are edible and one of them is even non-edible.

Extra virgin olive oil includes two groups of chemical compounds. The first one is triglycerides which have a portion of 97–99% and the second one is minor components that have a portion of 1–3%.

Triglycerides mainly contain a monounsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid), a fair amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and a small amount of saturated fatty acids.
