GIGO.

Dante's absolutely right about EV. There is an intermediate oil called Olive Oil or Pure Olive Oil or 100% Pure Olive Oil. This is Refined Oil blended with EV and has more EV than Extra Light. Its not better than EV despite the name and is suitable for pan and deep-frying, stir-fries, sautés and stews. In cakes and pastries, it is used both as an ingredient in dough as also for frying. Olive Oil is the oil most suitable for all types of body massage. In Europe and Asia, Olive Pomace Oil is the one most commonly used for cooking. Extra Light is uncommon. Pomace is similar to Extra Light in composition. For more information, visit www.leonardoolives.com. Cool SusieJ, I didn’t know this awesome stuff about soaking olives.

This is true. Refined Olive Oil is filtered so that all flavor and color are removed. It is appropriate to deep fry since it has similar attributes as corn oil. However, frying is not the healthiest way to prepare foods. Extra Virgin Olive oil is NOT just for dipping or salads. You can lightly saute with Extra Virgin; when you wantto add more flavor to what you are cooking. Be careful not to heat the Extra Virgin too high for too long or you will begin to burn the oil, create a LOT of smoke in your kitchen, and ruin the flavor of your meal.

It does take awhile before olive oil goes rancid. You should be fine if you are using it up within six months. But any longer than that -- I'd store it in the fridge. Solidified oil is much easier to work with, and it melts fast. Shelly -- check out the book, Total Breast Health. Everything you wanted to know about oil and cooking, and preventing breast cancer too. It also says that the plastic from the bottle can leach into the oil -- so always buy glass.
