Olive Oil - ( Olea europaea ) - The oil is usually extracted from hard, unripe olives. There are three grades of olive oil: extra virgin, virgin and 'pure'. Extra virgin olive oil is collected from the first pressing of the fruit. It is heavy and rich with a darkish yellow-green colour and fruity-peppery aroma. Virgin olive oil comes from the second pressing; it has a lighter yellow-green hue and a less pungent aroma. The so-called pure grade is usually a blend of highly refined olive oils from more than one country. It bears little resemblance to its cold-pressed relatives, being pale yellow with a relatively faint odour. - Both extra virgin and virgin olive oil contain useful levels of the essential fatty acid, alpha linolenic acid. Taken internally, the oil is said to be a supportive of heart health issues. It is also a gentle laxative.
