For anyone interested, this mean it’s shit olive oil. Good olive oil is obtained directly from olives using only mechanical methods. It then passes taste test to determine if it’s only “virgin” or “extra virgin” (better, pure taste). Bad olive oil is extracted using chemical processes. This is not edible and normally was used in lamps but you can refine it in other industrial processes, add some virgin oil for taste and sell it. This is the bad kind. Don’t buy that shit.

also i’m pretty sure that the “refined” plant oil is harvested by heating the plant materials up first and then pressing it? instead of cold-pressing it. the heat makes the oil less viscuous so it flows easier. so you can press it out more fully, but also the heat chemically alters the oil and make it go rancid faster or sth?
