Demystifying Olive Oil: Virgin vs. Extra Virgin

Hey there, food enthusiasts! Today, let's explore the distinction between virgin and extra virgin olive oil.

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is the highest quality, cold-pressed without heat or chemicals, preserving its natural flavors and nutrients. It's perfect for drizzling over salads or adding flavor to dishes.

Virgin olive oil, while still good quality, undergoes a different process, resulting in a milder flavor. It's ideal for everyday cooking like sautéing or baking.

At "A Peace of Greece," we take pride in our hand-harvested Greek olive oil, whether it's extra virgin or virgin.

Remember, choosing the right olive oil can enhance your culinary creations. Happy cooking!
