CLASSIFICATION
There are five different types or grades of olive oil as classified by the International Olive Oil Council. Olive oils are classified by many different variables such as free fatty acid, antioxidant levels, smoke point and the type of refining that is done during production to create the olive oil. The best tasting and less refined type of olive oil is extra virgin olive oil.
