Additional information

in addition, there are three commercial categories of olive residue oils: crude olive-residue oil, refined olive-residue oil, and olive-residue oil. This classification is according to the European Commission regulation (EC No. 640/2008), which establishes 8 categories of commercial olive oils. In turn, the IOC (T.15/NC no. 3/Rev. 3, 2008) establishes 9 categories, the difference being in that the category "virgin olive oil" in the Commission regulation corresponds to two categories in the IOC regulation ("virgin olive oil" and "ordinar y virgin olive oil").
