Image result for regular vs extra virgin olive oil
Extra-virgin olive oil is made from pure, cold-pressed olives, whereas regular olive oil is a blend, including both cold-pressed and processed oils. ... Any cold-pressed oil that doesn't meet extra-virgin standards is then refined to get rid of undesirable impurities, giving the oil a more neutral flavor and lighter color.Sep 11, 2017

I don't know the difference between being virgin and being even more virgin, but the word virgin in its description suggests it hasn't been tampered with, whereas non virgin suggests it has. I just can't help wondering what has been done to the oil to remove its virginity.------ This thread is Archived ------

Extra virgin is cold pressed.
If it's hot pressed it affects the structure of the fatty acids, reducing the mono-saturates and increasing the saturated fatty acid content. More oil can be extracted through hot pressing.
If the oil is chemically extracted, it becomes contaminated and I think it affects the fatty acid structure as well. This method is used because more oil can be extracted than with either cold pressing, or hot pressing.
I'm going to hazard a guess that olives go through all three stages in most processing plants, unless you buy from an eco-friendly company.
I don't suppose toiletries are routinely made from costly cold-pressed oils, so it's more than likely that an olive oil soap will use the lower grade, chemically extracted oil. It might be worth checking before assuming that a product is natural and healthy.

the olives had a "crush", before.
virgin olive Oil - It is the only cooking oil that is made without the use of chemicals and industrial refining solvents.
btw, picking starts now...
