My mom had bought regular olive oil since my brother says that regular olive oil is much better than e.v.o.o. I can't taste a difference between them! Is there supposed to be a taste difference? If not what exactly is the difference between them? Thanks.

MFS answered Thursday October 14 2004, 4:05 pm: There is a difference between the two. Extra Virgin is pressed less, and can have a little more edge to the flavour. "Regular" is more mild than extra virgin. I generally use regular in most cooking, but for some dishes, I'll use extra virgin to add a little more kick. I've also been told that extra virgin is better for making herbal infusions, but I've not tried this (when you soak dried herbs in the oil for a long time to impart the herb's flavor to the oil).
