WHAT DOES "EXTRA LIGHT" OLIVE OIL MEAN?
The words "light" and "extra light" when applied to olive oil, do not have anything to do with calories but everything to do with color and flavor. Extra-virgin olive oil is darker in color and has a robust flavor. Extra-light olive oil is usually blended with a lower quality olive oil and therefore is lighter in color and flavor.
