News from the Olive Bar

March 2010 Newsletter

  • Lite Olive Oil is called "lite" because it contains very little extra virgin olive oil. Lite olive oil is 95% refined olive oil made from overripe, rotten, or otherwise unconsumable olives that has been chemically cleaned of impurities and flavor. Pure Olive Oil isn't much better. It only contains 10% extra virgin olive oil. There is no caloric difference between lite, pure, and extra virgin olive oil.
