It is also very rich in antioxidants and has the highest amount of minerals and vitamins found in olives. It is usually golden green in color and adds a distinct flavor to your food.
Virgin olive oil is also an unrefined type of olive oil which means no chemicals or heat is used while extracting the oil. The only difference with extra virgin olive oil is a slightly higher oleic acidity level. It can also be used for baking.
