Difference between extra virgin olive oil, and premium extra virgin olive oil?

[JEDI]

Carapelli makes both. The premium version costs a couple of dollars more.

They taste the same to me when i made linguinni in olive olive oil. and when i used it with my salad.

anyone else try the premium brand? if so, do u taste a difference? and how r the 2 brands different from each other?

I know that virgin means the first pressing. Maybe premium means that the press was cleaned first. Might be that it is filtered better after pressing.

Bump, I'd like to know.

Extra Virgin is the first pressing. Virgin is the second pressing.

That's all I know for sure, but there are established standards for the various grades. I'm sure a google search would reveal the standard differences.

Not sure about the premium designation within that brand. Maybe a better selection of olives was used?

maybe they use the extra nice olives in the first pressing.
