There's a lot of talk these days about Extra Virgin Olive oil. Some people actually say "evoo". I think that's kind of silly. It is the premium version of olive oils, which is also reflected in the price. It is good stuff, and does taste different from regular olive oil, but here's something you must know:
It "loses its virginity" under heat.
It's unique flavors are lost, and it ends up tasting like regular olive oil.
Save the extra virgin for fresh salads and other unheated uses. Use regular olive oil for cooking, otherwise you are cooking away all the extra money you spent.
