Types of oil Types of oil In the world of olive oils there are several categories, depending on the quality of the olive with which the oil has been extracted, its organoleptic characteristics once extracted and the extraction process followed. These categories are: extra virgin olive oil, virgin olive oil, olive oil and olive-pomace oil. We explain each of these categories below. Extra Virgin Olive Oil Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the highest commercial category within olive oils, is the natural juice of healthy olives, without more. At Azzayt Olive Oils we select them to offer their juice in an optimal state of freshness and flavor, being ideal for any dish, whether raw, in stews or fried. Virgin Olive Oil El Aceite de Oliva Virgen también procede directamente de aceitunas, pero por diferentes motivos (estado de la aceituna, momento de molturación, etc.) el aceite obtenido, no presenta las cualidades irreprochables con las que cuenta el virgen extra. Aceite de Oliva El Aceite de Oliva, tanto suave como intenso, es una mezcla de aceite de oliva virgen y aceite refinado. El aceite de oliva refinado procede de aceitunas defectuosas o en mal estado y no es apto para su consumo directo. Por ello, en un proceso industrial, se refinan para corregir esos defectos. Luego se le añade una parte de virgen extra para mejorar su sabor. En este proceso, el aceite pierde parte de sus atributos, características y propiedades naturales que en el virgen extra se mantienen íntegramente. Aceite de Orujo de Oliva Olive Pomace Oil comes from the mixture of virgin olive oil and refined olive pomace oil. This comes from the remains of bones, skin and pulp of the olive (called pomace) once the virgin olive oil has been extracted.
