Ever wondered what the Virgin part of olive oil means?

Well, the Extra Virgin Olive oil is made from the first olives picked that season, and the best ones. Virgin Olive Oil is made from the second picking, and olive oil is made from the rest.

A really primo Olive Oil can sell for $300 to $500 a bottle.

Now that is a truly random post from Fred_G...:cool

Yeah, but if it is Extra Virgin, pretty honest.

Hi LauraR

Find such a high cost hard to believe. Given the costs involved for manufacturing, a case of good quality olive oil bottles would be around $300-$500. What brand charges that amount per bottle?? I'm really curious. (I'ld invest in a bottle of wine at that price to resell at a profit later....but not olive oil.)

Wow! Reckon I'll stick to mineral water for cleansing my palate at that cost.

Thanks for that. Learn something new everyday!

I am told they do go for an ungodly amount of money. Evidently, there are folks that like some primo olive oil. Now the 300 to 500 bottle would be somewhat hard to find, but I am told it is there.

We don't sell it. But I am told it is out there.
