It's better for some cooking applications. Light olive oil is extra filtered, so maybe that's why it's not organic, since it's more processed. I'm puzzled as well. Extra virgin is considered a higher grade too. Katherine, I’m not sure either, but I also have some non-organic light olive oil. It’s better for some cooking applications.

I dislike the fruity flavor of extra virgin olive oil, and it doesn't heat up well. It's one of the last few conventional hold-outs for us since we went organic with our food. I wrestle with this every time I run out of olive oil, and I end up buying a medium bottle of conventional olive oil, hoping I'll get a chance to research it before the next time.

I think I usually get Italian. I'll look for the Spanish. I used to buy olive oil in bulk, but since I moved to an apartment my space is much more limited. I may do it again if I can find the room. Mamabird, I don't have any Trader Joe's in my area, but thanks for the comparisons. Jennifer, I actually got this at Wild Oats, but they are owned by Whole Foods, or something like that. They sell the same stuff anyway : ) N&J,

My Whole Foods also sells Olive Oil in bulk which is cheaper than generic. N. http://badhuman.wordpress.com Spanish Olive Oil is usually cheaper then Italian and still tastes great.

It's so lame. I do what you do, get the store brand organic. Like Wild Oats had a good inexpensive brand, and some co-op's offer local varieties cheaper. Organic olive oil is expensive. It’s so lame.

Fats are important to me as are dairy, meat, and the top 10-20 pesticide-rich fruits and veggies....
