Sorry to break your bubble but all IS lost in the UK, as that is not extra virgin olive oil.
The label says so!
it's second press olive oil cut with a bit of extra virgen first cold press.
EVOO would be plastered all over the label if it were so,, but it isn't.
Cold press is also a minefield as it includes from room temperature mid 20's, the average bona fide temp in the better mills, up to 60c.
Higher the temperature the higher the yield. It's the first question of the season when you look for places to press.
I believe the mills do between 3 and 5 pressings. Cold press, a second hotter pressing IE mostly your oil - and then various lantern oils.
Just have to buy direct from growers and not from a supermarket, at least not in a supermarket outside olive country.
