Wooly,

Thanks for all this great info! One question though - what is the reasoning
(besides cost) of using second-press rather than extra virgin olive oil?
Just wondering because the ev stuff is all I have around right now!


Second press (sometimes labelled "virgin" or "cold press") is cheaper.
I keep the EV for salads, use second press for cooking and greasing up
my poor abused hide Second press is mechanically extracted from
the pulp/seeds after the EV is pressed so it doesn't contain any
solvent residue or "accidental" chemicals. Pomace is cheapest but
extracted chemically so is, in my mind, suspect for skincare and
cooking. I guess I'd use it as machine lubricant?
