is a category of oil which comes from the blending of refined olive-pomace oil (category 7) with a small percentage of extra virgin or virgin (category 1 or 2) in order for it to become edible. It is inferior in quality to &#8220;olive oil&#8221; (category 5), but it is better than all the seed oils available on the market as it keeps its basic composition and main structural feature of monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid.<\/h4>\r\n[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; el_class=&#8221;divider-row&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_class=&#8221;left-empty&#8221;][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;color-wvjs&#8221; type=&#8221;dotted&#8221; el_class=&#8221;divider1&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; el_class=&#8221;row7&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; el_class=&#8221;left-empty&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text_font=&#8221;font-640201&#8243; el_class=&#8221;p6&#8243;]\r\n<h4>In order for an oil to qualify as &#8220;olive-pomace oil&#8221;, its acidity should not exceed 1% and its other chemical characteristics should be in line with those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2568\/91.<\/h4>\r\n[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; el_class=&#8221;related-posts&#8221; el_id=&#8221;research_related_posts_row&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][uncode_index el_id=&#8221;index-649839&#8243; isotope_mode=&#8221;fitRows&#8221; loop=&#8221;size:10|order_by:ID|order:ASC|post_type:post|categories:415|taxonomy_count:10&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; post_items=&#8221;media|featured|onpost|original,title,category|nobg,date,text|excerpt,link|default,sep-one|full,extra&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_shape=&#8221;round&#8221; radius=&#8221;xs&#8221; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_overlay_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_text_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; title=&#8221;\u03a3\u03c7\u03b5\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac \u0386\u03c1\u03b8\u03c1\u03b1&#8221; el_class=&#8221;research_related_posts_module&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;9&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;412863&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1662981754307{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}&#8221; shape_dividers=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;86573&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":86564,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[421,415,284],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-epitome-of-olive-oil","category-research-en","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Olive oil categories - The different types of Olive Oil | Olive Epitome<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn about the different olive oil categories.
