About Refined olive oil

Refined olive oil is olive oil that has undergone refining to reduce defects in flavour and aroma. It is used for cooking and other applications where a milder olive character is desired. It is generally clear and fluid at room temperature, with a relatively neutral aroma and taste compared with virgin olive oils.

The term describes a processing category, not one uniform product: refining methods and the oil’s grade or any blending with virgin olive oil can vary. It is sold as a liquid cooking oil. Refined olive oil should not be treated as synonymous with extra-virgin olive oil, which is produced without refining and retains more characteristic sensory qualities.
